Hey @nikita-rudenko - just wanted to check in to see if there is any additional info I might be able to provide to help with this, or if it would be more helpful for me to open a PR with the change. Thank you!
Thanks for notifying me, @bamurtaugh! I just published the update.
Hi! I'm from the VS Code team, and we'd like to ensure Back & Forth can run in the different extension host setups VS Code currently supports. I've found that the current definition of
extensionKind
for your extension is too restrictive.The extension has the
extensionKind
set to["ui"]
: https://github.com/nikita-rudenko/back-n-forth/blob/master/package.json#L24. This defines that the extension can only run in the VS Code desktop extension host.However, this extension can also run on the workspace extension host (which is used for remote scenarios) since it doesn't have any dependencies on the desktop extension host. It'd also be great to enable it for Codespaces web.
Thus, to ensure your extension can run properly across setups, we'd recommend to change the extensionKind to
"extensionKind": ["ui", "workspace"]
. More information aboutextensionKind
can be found here.Please let me know if you have questions - I'm happy to help clarify anything. Thank you!
