Anyone use Code-OSS?
Looking to install code OSS, but apparently it will not use the marketplace
installing code-marketplace (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/code-marketplace) from aur says
(1/1) installing code-marketplace [---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------] 100%
WARN: /usr/lib/code/product.json does not exist. You need to install extra/code in the official repository to use this package. Skipping...
Optional dependencies for code-marketplace
code-features: unblock some extensions specific to the official build [installed]
I tried https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/code-features and got the same thing.
Any thoughts?
Have you started Code-OSS at least one time before patching it with such stuff? Afaik it needs to be installed after you run the program.
Thing is, VSCode marketplace (the one that microsoft owns) cannot be legally used on VSCodium/Code-OSS, your choices:
1. Use open source marketplace like Open VSX
- This will use packages that are 100% free of microsoft's shenanigans
2. Unofficially bend your VSCodium/Code-OSS installation to report itself as M$ VSCode
- Notable: Several crucial Python, C# and C plugins that you couldve used on VSCode won't work due to microsoft's/third party locking them down to only work with VSCode, so this kind of patching is done through packages such as code-features/code-marketplace
3. Use broken shit such as VSCodius or just plain VSCode ;/
yes I did
/usr/lib/code/ does not exist after I run it
I needed to re enable extras in order to install code, then install code-features.
