"command 'activitusbar.showExtensionsView' not found" since Code 1.37

[apaleslimghost]

I have keyboard shortcuts set up to trigger activitusbar.showExtensionsView and activitusbar.showScmView, but since updating to Code 1.37 it's saying these commands don't exist.

[apaleslimghost]

actually this looks like it's all the activitusbar.showWhateverView commands, even the default keybindings

[Gruntfuggly]

Do the buttons on the status bar work?

[apaleslimghost]

Yes, they do

[Gruntfuggly]

Can you post your settings.json (or the appropriate part of it for activitusbar)? I don't know what is going on as it works fine for me - I can see the commands in the keyboard shortcuts view. Could you post you keybindings.json too, so I can recreate your shortcuts.

[apaleslimghost]

settings.json:

{
    "activitusbar.views": [
        {
            "name": "explorer",
            "octicon": "file"
        },
        {
            "name": "search",
            "octicon": "search"
        },
        {
            "name": "extension.liveshare",
            "octicon": "telescope"
        },
        {
            "name": "extension.chatActivityViewSlack",
            "octicon": "comment"
        }
    ],
    "activitusbar.alignment": "Right",
    "activitusbar.activeColour": "#03A9F4",
    "activitusbar.priority": -99999,
    "activitusbar.searchViewInPanel": true
}

example keybinding (note that all the activitusbar commands in that file have yellow squiggly "Value is not accepted" warnings):

{
    "key": "shift+cmd+g",
    "command": "activitusbar.showScmView"
}

I'm not sure why they are showing with yellow squiggles - they seem to work regardless, but I can see that some of them aren't working. Explorer, Find work OK for me but the other don't. Stay tuned...

[Gruntfuggly]

Actually - I think the reason they have squiggles is because they are not declared in the package.json, but are created dynamically.

[Gruntfuggly]

Hang on - the reason that the command is not available is that you haven't got the scm view in your views settings?

[apaleslimghost]

it's all the commands, not just the ones missing from settings.json

[Gruntfuggly]

That's odd - they work for me when they are defined.

Would you be prepared to try a bit of hacking to try and work out what is going on?

If so, please can you edit ~/.vscode/extensions/gruntfuggly.activitusbar-0.0.21/extension.js (or wherever it is for you) and add two console.log lines to the block starting at line 223, line this:

var commandKey = view.name.capitalize() + 'View'
command = 'activitusbar.toggle' + commandKey;
viewNames.push( view.name );
buttons[ view.name ] = addButton( view.octicon, command, view.name, view.tooltip );
console.log( "registerCommand: " + command ); // HERE
commands.push( vscode.commands.registerCommand( command, makeToggleView( view.name ) ) );

if( view.name !== 'search' )
{
     console.log( "registerCommand: " + 'activitusbar.show' + commandKey ); // AND HERE
     commands.push( vscode.commands.registerCommand( 'activitusbar.show' + commandKey, makeShowView( view.name ) ) );
}

then reload the window and look in the developer console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools) and see what is shown.

Hi - have you had any luck with this?

[apaleslimghost]

sorry, i didn't get chance to debug it, and i'm not using the extension any more. feel free to close the issue if you can't reproduce

[Gruntfuggly]

OK - Thanks for letting me know. I'll close it, but if you ever come back to it, feel free to re-open it.
