[Question] Error one or more entries with a date in the future

[BoykoAlex]

While attempting to publish an extension I get the following error:

INFO  Publishing 'Pivotal.vscode-bosh v1.42.0'...
 ERROR  One or more entries have a modified date in the future.

Can you please explain a bit where this error is coming from? List some possible sources for this error?

NVM :-)

@BoykoAlex Could you add some more info as to what fixed the problem for you? The "NVM" isn't very helpful to others with the same problem.

In my case, I had to add .envrc and .direnv/ to the .vscodeignore file.

First, I used vsce package to manual create the vsix file and upload it to the marketplace using the browser. Same error. Then, I changed the package file extension to .zip so I could inspect the contents with unzip. I saw a bunch of files in .direnv sub-folder, which are not needed. Once I updated the .vscodeignore file, vsce publish worked!

@lionello yes indeed :-) My case was rather simple at the end. One of the maven jars that I used in my language server included in the vscode extension had last modified stamp from year 2121 which is far in the future. Therefore npm complained about the date in the future. I have switched this maven dependency scope to test scope where it really belongs and it fixed the issue for me.
The error was showing for me when i ran vsce package locally...
