Publish extensions to open-vsx

[jjchico]

Workaround

See #1802 (comment)

Reason

Microsoft does not allow to use C/C++ extension with other editors. See microsoft/vscode-cpptools#6388 (comment)

We are working on an alternative solution for C/C++ code completion and navigation.

This issue depends on

• Query the compiler driver for pre-defined macros clangd/clangd#533
• Discrepancy between predefined macros compared to ARM GCC llvm/llvm-project#47610

Temporary solution 1

You will need to install manually these extensions:

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=platformio.platformio-ide

1. Open extension in the Microsoft Marketplace following the link above
2. Download extension's VSIX file by clicking on "Download Extension" in "Resources" section (right sidebar)
3. Navigate to VSCodium Extensions view and click "...", select "Install from ".VSIX".
4. Repeat for each VSIX/Extension.

Restart VSCodium.

Hi!

I'm a VS Codium user, a FLOSS version of VS Code, it's the same code but without the Microsoft's telemetry and branding.

I want to request if possible to add the PlatformIO IDE extension on the open-vsx.org market so that we doesn't need to works with the Microsoft marketplace as it is unclear if it's legal to use it on VS Code forks, see here.

This is how to publish a new extension.

Thanks.

I am with the same "problem". It would be really nice to have it published to work with VSCodium.

It is technically possible:

• https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions
• https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/DOCS.md#extensions-marketplace

@ivankravets Do you think platformio extension for codium is also legal?

[ivankravets]

PlatformIO extension for VSCode depends on C/C++ extension by Microsoft. We use it for code completion/navigation. How to resolve this issue?

[rafacouto]

This one? It is MIT licensed.

[ivankravets]

@rafacouto Yes, is it possible to have it in the open-vcs registry as well?

[54696d21]

it was already merged here EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#54 but it doesn't appear on open-vsx.org Probably because it isn't build correctly? Could you help me with fixing that #1884 please?

I updated this issue and added temporary solution #1802
