Switch between extensions

Platform Feature Requests
1

There are challenges that have multiple extensions, is there a convenient way to skip the current extension and start another one, then switch back to current extension?

Now I stuck on Redis WAIT with multiple commands #na2 stage in Replication extension and I want to try another extension to have a relax. I could disable Replication extension and enable it again, so it moves to the end of stages list, but when I want to back to Replication extension, I think the only way to do it is disable all other extensions.

Seems extensions do not depend on each other, could we have a convenient way to switch between extensions?

I wonder if this is a feature that many users want so I post in the General category.

Hey @realth000, thanks for sharing this!

Just to clarify, are you looking for a way to prioritize a specific extension so it runs before all the others (without needing to disable anything)?

Yes, I thinks it is useful for challenges have several extensions, like Redis, Shell and Interpreter.

Got it! I’ve shared your feedback with the team.

We’ll definitely take it into consideration as we explore ways to improve extension switching.

@andy1li Hello, Is there a re-enable button?

I had disabled the ‘quote escaping’ extension tasks for ‘Build your own shell’. I want to bring it back and do it.

Update: found the option. disabled all other extension tasks and then enabled the ‘quote tasks’. Then the ‘quotation tasks’ become the ‘in progress’ task.
