Unable to bundle library which uses nls

[arhelmus]

Hey, I trying to create a plugin on top of vscode-chrome-debug-core, which uses nls to handle translations. When I bundle my plugin with webpack using nls-dev bundler and loader, it does not import translations of vscode-chrome-debug-core dependency. As a result, I see "Failed to load message bundle..." message in my extension.

Is it possible to bundle dependency translations as part of my extension?

const config = {
  target: 'node',

  node: {
    __dirname: false
  },

  entry: './src/extension.ts',

  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    filename: 'extension.js',
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2',
    devtoolModuleFilenameTemplate: '../[resource-path]',
  },

  devtool: 'source-map',

  externals: [{
    vscode: 'commonjs vscode',
  }],

  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
    plugins: [
      new TsconfigPathsPlugin({
        configFile: path.resolve(__dirname, '..', '..', 'tsconfig.json'),
      }),
    ],
  },

  plugins: [
    new NLSBundlePlugin('reactvr-vscode-plugin'),
  ],

  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.ts$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: [{
                    loader: 'vscode-nls-dev/lib/webpack-loader',
                    options: {
                        base: path.join(__dirname, 'src')
                    }
                }, {
                    loader: 'ts-loader',
                }]
      },
    ],
  },
};

@roblourens I saw that you managed to bundle translations from vscode-chrome-debug-core as part of vscode-chrome-debug plugin, how did you managed to do this?

[arhelmus]

Actually, I figured out that vscode-chrome-debug not bundle dependencies and package those in vsix. Will follow this way, sorry for bothering.

Exactly - I looked into doing this and had the same issue. I don't think it's possible right now.
