[VsCodium] Is this version V2 is compatible with it ?

[Mick3DIY]

Hello Guys !

I'm new to the Raspberry Pi Pico world (CP 9.28) and I would like to use it with VsCodium (v1.105 on Ubuntu 22.04) like I do with Thonny IDE (works well) ?

How to install it manually because I can't find this version in the marketplace (from VsCodium, only the V1 appear)

Thanks ! 🍻

I found a workaround, maybe cheesy but it seems to work under Ubuntu.

After installing VSCodium, I just linked its extensions folder to the regular VSCode one (which already had the CircuitPython v2 extension installed in it):

cd /home/rob/.vscode-oss
mv extensions extensions-old
ln -s ../vscode/extensions extensions

Could be some unintended consequences, but so far so good!

(Previously I tried simply copying the wmerkens.vscode-circuitpython-v2-0.3.4 folder from the old extensions folder to the new, but that did not work.)

Hi Rob !

Thanks for the tips. I tried a different way 😄 with VSIX Manager from https://github.com/zokugun/vscode-vsix-manager

I installed the V2 from this repository with this code (settings in VSIX Manager) :

    "vsix.extensions": [
        "github:wmerkens/vscode-circuitpython",
   ],

Works well but with the version 0.2.6... Impossible to update (or auto-update) to the last version 😞

Step by step, we will succeed ! 💪
