    Fixed typo in terminal.contribution description

Ubuntu 16.04

I'm trying to patch something in the vscode codebase, I require the php extension to work in order for me to test my changes. How do I enable all the extensions that ship with code in my config?

This is the config I'm using (just added runtime args to the original Launch Vs Code config)

        {
            "type": "chrome",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Launch VS Code",
            "windows": {
                "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/scripts/code.bat"
            },
            "osx": {
                "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/scripts/code.sh"
            },
            "linux": {
                "runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceRoot}/scripts/code.sh",
                "runtimeArgs": [
                    "--extensions-dir", "${workspaceRoot}/extensions/"
                ]
            },
            "urlFilter": "*index.html*"
        }

This does seem to cause the extension viewlet to list all the packages in the extension dir. But I still get this error when I launch my this config (Listen for Xdebug):

  "version": "0.2.0",
  // "debugServer": 4711, // Uncomment for debugging the adapter
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Listen for XDebug",
      "type": "php",
      "request": "launch",
      "port": 9000,
      "log": true
    },
    {
      "name": "Launch",
      "request": "launch",
      "type": "php",
      "program": "${file}",
      "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
      "externalConsole": false
    }
  ]
}

error: Configured debug type 'php' is not supported.

The product.json for VSC OSS does not include the extension gallery URLs - see my example file below I went through the same thing not sure why but are not supported as standard...

{ "nameShort": "Code - OSS", "nameLong": "Code - OSS", "applicationName": "code-oss", "dataFolderName": ".vscode-oss", "win32MutexName": "vscodeoss", "licenseName": "MIT", "licenseUrl": "https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/LICENSE.txt", "win32DirName": "Microsoft Code OSS", "win32NameVersion": "Microsoft Code OSS", "win32RegValueName": "CodeOSS", "win32AppId": "{{E34003BB-9E10-4501-8C11-BE3FAA83F23F}", "win32AppUserModelId": "Microsoft.CodeOSS", "win32ShellNameShort": "C&ode - OSS", "darwinBundleIdentifier": "com.visualstudio.code.oss", "reportIssueUrl": "https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/new", "urlProtocol": "code-oss", "extensionsGallery": { "serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery", "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index", "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items" } }

Thanks for answering @cleidigh Yes you can enable the gallery like that and then you can install any extension you like. You can also simply copy the whole extension into your user/code-oss-dev/.../extensions folder

Thanks!

I can confirm that the simplest solution is actually what @cleidigh said. At least for me on Linux
