Unable to install on Code OSS and VS Codium #178

Closed palnabarun closed 3 years ago

palnabarun commented 3 years ago

Codetour is showing the following error on Code - OSS and VS Codium:

OS: Manjaro with Kernel 5.11.18

Code - OSS

Unable to install 'vsls-contrib.codetour' extension because it is not
compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.56.2).

Installed from https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/code/

VS Codium

Unable to install 'vsls-contrib.codetour' extension because it is not
compatible with the current version of VS Code (version 1.57.0).

Installed from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vscodium-bin/

I tried the same on VSCode 1.57.0 and it installed successfully. VS Codium and VS Code in this case are both built from the same commit (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/commit/b4c1bd0a9b03c749ea011b06c6d2676c8091a70c) and show the same message on Help > About.

Does it mean that Codetour is not supported on Code - OSS and VS Codium builds?

I can probably understand that Code - OSS being a minor version older (v1.56.2) may not be supported by the extension, but it is pretty weird that VS Codium is not supported even though commits from which it is built is the same as VS Code.

PS: The demo of the extension looked really cool! Great work on this! 💯

Edit: Added sources of installation and OS.

CodeTour is currently marked as requiring v1.48+, so I'm not sure why you'd be getting this error. Do you see other extensions having issues supporting these alternative builds of VS Code? I don't have any experience using them, so I'm not really sure if there are interop challenges here.

Closing this for now since I'm not aware of any issues/changes needed in CodeTour to support this. If you're still encountering this issue, please re-open it and I can try to investigate. Thanks!
