Pre-installing VS code extensions in coder workspace

I would like to pre-install VS code extensions in a workspace template so that everyone on my team will automatically have them when they create a new workspace. It's possible to install extensions via the command line with the

code

code

code

code command, but this command is not available in the startup script for the coder agent.

I tried the following hacky solution:

CODE_SERVER_PATH=$(ls /root/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code-server)
$CODE_SERVER_PATH --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff

CODE_SERVER_PATH=$(ls /root/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code-server)
$CODE_SERVER_PATH --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff

CODE_SERVER_PATH=$(ls /root/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code-server)
$CODE_SERVER_PATH --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff

CODE_SERVER_PATH=$(ls /root/.vscode-server/bin/*/bin/code-server)
$CODE_SERVER_PATH --install-extension charliermarsh.ruff

This works some of the time, but sometimes the

coder-server

coder-server

coder-server

coder-server binary is not found at that location.

Is there a better way to do what I'm after?
