Fix outdated VS Code package recommendation
What does this MR do?
Attempts to update extensions.json
to recommend a maintained version of the Go extension for Visual Studio Code, so VS Code will stop throwing warnings about an unmaintained version when I open it. I'm tagging @sselhorn and adding her as a reviewer, partly to see if she's had the same issue and partly so she can recommend a reviewer.
Why was this MR needed?
I've been trying to track down why, when I restarted VS Code, I'd get this warning:
The 1 extension(s) below, in workspace recommendations have isses: ms-vscode.go (not found in marketplace)
I did some research this morning, and https://tattoocoder.com/recommending-vscode-extensions-within-your-open-source-projects/ suggested I look for a file named extensions.json
. Sure enough, there's a recommendation for ms-vscode.go
in a file in the Runner repo.
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62308024/vscode-extensions-have-golang-go-but-havent-ms-vscode-go mentioned ownership of the extension was transferred from Microsoft to the Go project
- https://blog.golang.com/vscode-go confirms it.
What's the best way to test this MR?
Open a Go file in an installation of VS Code that doesn't have an extension set up to handle Go files.
What are the relevant issue numbers?
The recommendation was initially added in !2022 (merged).
