Extension "Community Server Connectors" installed but not working #243

Open vincenzocaselli opened 1 year ago

vincenzocaselli commented 1 year ago

Hi, I am trying to use the following VS extension Community Server Connectors https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-community-server-connector on Theia Blueprint 1.32.0 (Beta) - VS Code API Version: 1.55.2

I am already using this extension on VsCode, so I decided to try it on Theia. Unlike VsCode, where the extension is listed on the Extensions view, in Theia is not listed. So I downloaded it from the above page getting the file

Then in Theia Extensions view I installed it manually (Install from VSIX...) and after a while I can see a popup saying that the installation ended successfully. Now, unlike VsCode, in Explorer view I cannot see the Servers section, so I cannot add a Tomcat server.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. download file file redhat.vscode-community-server-connector-0.25.7.vsix from page https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-community-server-connector (look for Resources / Download Extension )
  2. in Theia Blueprint, go to Extension view, three-dots button (More Actions), Install from VSIX..., select downloaded file
  3. in Theia Blueprint, go to Explorer view: the Servers section is not visible (unlike in VsCode)

Any hints? Thank you very much Vincenzo

Thank you for the report, I can reproduce the problem, however I am not familiar with the extension itself. One thing I noticed is that the extension mentions that https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=redhat.vscode-rsp-ui is required, so this has to be installed as well. May this helps in your case?

When I try to use commands from this UI extension, like "Add Local Server..." I get this issue error "Unable to detect any server: Extension backend error - there are no rsp providers registered."
