Hi, I’m new to sui and learning the move language, running  
`sui move build --version`  
gives me the version of sui-move-build, but actually building my app with  
`sui move build` just does nothing.  
I just updated my sui installation as suggested here → your-first-sui-dapp-error-e02004-when-building-the-package, but the problem persists.

Everything installed as per the move book and this is my first issue learning move.

I deleted few move extensions on my IDE and then it worked. (Extensions were creating some path issues)

I see. Can you specify the names, if you remember.

As of now these are the only move extensions I am using👇

In my case if I remove the 2 first extensions then the commands won’t show anymore, also format won’t work anymore.
