Missing `initialize` from `vscode/extensions`

[char0n]

Hi @CGNonofr,

It seems that following import now longer works:

import { initialize } from 'vscode/extensions'

initialize is no longer part of that file. Affected version is @codingame/monaco-vscode-api@=1.83.15.

[char0n]

Looking at https://github.com/CodinGame/monaco-vscode-api/commit/a295d70ecda03f990fa2ea769973092bc8fa115d it seems it's been removed.

This documentation https://github.com/CodinGame/monaco-vscode-api#vscode-api-usage doesn't seem to be aligned with the actual code.

I figured I need to use:

import 'vscode/localExtensionHost';`

But it seems, that things will starts working only after I perform some action (like opening a command palette):

I did dig deeper and the issue is with monaco service initialization. The simplest code to reproduce:

import {  initialize as initializeMonacoServices } from 'vscode/services';
import 'vscode/localExtensionHost';

console.dir('initializing');
await initializeMonacoServices({});
console.dir('initialized');

initialized is never printed and the promise returned from initializeMonacoServices never resolves. Any idea what would be the problem?

Following seems to work; I'm performing some random service action which allows initialization to fall through (resolve).

import {  initialize as initializeMonacoServices,   StandaloneServices, IQuickInputService, } from 'vscode/services';
import 'vscode/localExtensionHost';

console.dir('initializing');
setTimeout(() => {
  StandaloneServices.get(IQuickInputService).quickAccess.show('>', {
    itemActivation: 0,
  });
}, 0);
await initializeMonacoServices({});
console.dir('initialized');

Working on way to improve the changelog

Right, will fix

No idea, I'm interested if you find the cause of it

I fails in vscode/lifecycle.js in

async function startup(instantiationService) {

specifically in:

    await instantiationService.invokeFunction(async (accessor) => {
        await Promise.all(( serviceInitializePostParticipants.map(participant => participant(accessor))));
    });

This will never resolve. If I remove this code, everything works as expected.

The serviceInitializePostParticipants list contains following single item:

It'll be fixed soon in #285

in the meantime, you can add this workaround:

import { IExtensionService } from 'vscode/vscode/vs/workbench/services/extensions/common/extensions'
import { registerServiceInitializeParticipant } from 'vscode/lifecycle'

registerServiceInitializeParticipant(accessor => accessor.get(IExtensionService))

import { IExtensionService } from 'vscode/vscode/vs/workbench/services/extensions/common/extensions'
import { registerServiceInitializeParticipant } from 'vscode/lifecycle'

registerServiceInitializeParticipant(accessor => accessor.get(IExtensionService))

I can confirm, the workaround works. Thanks!
