Add Script For Downloading Extension

[b01]

Anyone know how to add in a list of extensions to download as well for offline install?

VS Code CLI has --install-extension <ext> to install an extension. Provide the full extension name publisher.extension as an argument. Use --force argument to avoid prompts.

Maybe code-server also supports this.

As far as I know, VSCode does not provide a command to download multiple plugins directly. However, you can put the plugins in the same folder, and then traverse the folder plugins to download one by one:

for vsix in $(ls path/to/your-plugins/*.vsix); do
  code --install-extension $vsix
done

I'm not sure exactly how most use the the download vscode server script. So I was thinking of just letting people give a list of the extensions. The easiest way it to put them in a text file and pass in the file name as an argument. Then have the script loop like you mentioned. I've yet to test that works though.

To the gist that was before this project I added 2 extra lines in the end

export PATH="$PATH:/root/.vscode-server/bin/${commit_sha}/bin"

for FILE in /opt/vscode-server/*.vsix; do code-server --install-extension $FILE; done

And I did a bash script that runs the gist and installs any extension I want,

declare -A extensions=(
    ["vscode-pylance-latest"]="ms-python"
    ["vscodeintellicode-latest"]="VisualStudioExptTeam"
    ["intellicode-api-usage-examples-latest"]="VisualStudioExptTeam"
    ["remote-containers-latest"]="ms-vscode-remote"
    ["vsc-python-indent-latest"]="KevinRose"
    ["python-latest"]="ms-python"
    ["autodocstring-latest"]="njpwerner"
    ["python-extension-pack-latest"]="donjayamanne"
    ["vscode-django-latest"]="batisteo"
    ["prettier-vscode-latest"]="esbenp"
    ["jinja-latest"]="wholroyd"
    ["autopep8-latest"]="ms-python"
)

if [ ! -d "./extensions" ]; then
    mkdir ./extensions
fi
cp ./download-vs-code-server.sh ./extensions
cd ./extensions

for key in "${!extensions[@]}"
do
    FILE=./${extensions[$key]}.$key.vsix
    while [ ! -f $FILE ];
    do
        publisher=${extensions[$key]}
        key=$(echo $key | sed 's/-latest/\/latest/g')
        wget -nv -w 10 --random-wait --continue https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/$publisher/vsextensions/$key/vspackage
        key=$(echo $key | sed 's/\//-/g')
        mv vspackage ${extensions[$key]}.$key.vsix.gz
        gunzip -v ${extensions[$key]}.$key.vsix.gz
    done
done

This feature has been merged, so closing this issue. Not sure why it didn't auto close. Maybe the git commit did not contain the right text.
