Replace gallery with Open-VSX #2659
Conversation
|
One thing I haven't gotten around to testing yet is if the vscodevim extension from openvsx works with 1.52.1 and the web extension changes that were made there. |
|
@oxy anything else you need from us to help move this forward? |
|
Not really! I'm working on a second pass on the docs (should be done in the hour) and then we should be ready to merge! |
|
Since this is still in progress and I don't want us to accidentally merge, going to move to draft |
|
I did actually finish the docs and merge them into this PR - just forgot to merge this one >~< |
|
Moving back to draft - we need to test this with Vim |
|
Just tested the latest version from OpenVSX, seems to work fine: Vim-OpenVSX.mp4 |
|
Ah yup if you install it manually it should work but installing from the UI seems to break because it attempts to load it as a web extension which OpenVSX doesn't seem to support yet. |
|
Regardless, thanks for testing it out and posting a video @pojntfx 🎉 Hopefully we can get this sorted soon! |
|
Closing for now because we need a few things in place before we can fully implement and merge this PR |
After discussing internally, we've decided to just switch our default extension gallery to Open-VSX, and then document how to switch back to our old gallery. This PR just changes the default, and documentation changes are still required before we can make a release!
The hack I attempted previously broke pagination, and there is no obvious, non-invasive fix in sight due to how VSCode was designed.
Note that switching back should essentially be setting
GALLERY_URL="https://extensions.coder.com/api" ITEM_URL=(intentionally blank).Closes #1473.
