Why is an extension not installable in the browser#
There are a small number of extensions that have built-in assumptions or need to run on the desktop. Examples are when an extension accesses files from the VS Code installation on the desktop or when an extension depends on an executable that must run in a desktop environment. When you try to install such an extension in the browser, you will be informed that the extension is not available.
Notice such an extension can still be used when connecting to a Codespace from VS Code running on the desktop.
- The point is: This extension (like others that I developed) is already working on GitHub Codespaces and the new Virtual FileSystem (which seems to be the underlying technology behind this). It does not need to run on the desktop, or access files. It's a really simple extension, both in code and dependencies.
- So it should be available in VS Code Web, right? Or it must be updated/changed somehow to support this new environment?
Thanks in advance
