Hi there, great to see you!

I'm Dom. Check out my resume to find out more about me.

open-in-vscode's Issues

Upgrade to manifest V3

In January 2023 Manifest v2 will stop working. This extension needs to be migrated before then to continue working.

There is an attempt in a branch (manifest-v3) but it doesn't work as well as the v2 version. Namely, chrome.windows.create doesn't seem to work as well as window.open because it adds an extra prompt before opening VSCode. It seems that this happens because Chrome does not ask "always allow extension to open these kinds of links?" without window.open.

Support for Firefox

asking for feature this as an add-on for firefox.

Feature Request: clone repo, THEN open file

i intend on implementing this, what do you think?

Open in VSCode from current tab's URL?

As I understand it, currently, in order to use this extension there has to be an anchor tag on the current page pointing to a Github URL.

I wish that I could open the current page's URL as a file in VSCode by simply clicking the extension!

This could use the activeTab permissions -- which appears to have been designed for this exact use case!

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/manifest/activeTab/#motivation

The activeTab permission gives an extension temporary access to the currently active tab when the user invokes the extension - for example by clicking its action. Access to the tab lasts while the user is on that page, and is revoked when the user navigates away or closes the tab.

...

Motivation

Consider a web clipping extension that has a action and context menu item. This extension may only really need to access tabs when its browser action is clicked, or when its context menu item is executed.

Without activeTab, this extension would need to request full, persistent access to every web site, just so that it could do its work if it happened to be called upon by the user. This is a lot of power to entrust to such a simple extension. And if the extension is ever compromised, the attacker gets access to everything the extension had.

In contrast, an extension with the activeTab permission only obtains access to a tab in response to an explicit user gesture. If the extension is compromised the attacker would need to wait for the user to invoke the extension before obtaining access. And that access only lasts until the tab is navigated or is closed.

so, how to configure the path?

what does it means?should I download source code first and then I configure the path of downloaded files?

Can’t open links from GitLab if they contain a dash

Heya, thanks for this extension!

I’m trying to open some files on GitLab and it doesn’t fully work. Here’s an example:

• Repo URL: https://gitlab.com/klima-pods/SwiftWebVC
• Example file link/URL: https://gitlab.com/klima-pods/SwiftWebVC/-/blob/master/README.md

If I try to open that file with the extension, I’m getting this error in VS Code:

Path does not exist
The path '~/dev/-/README.md:0:1' does not exist on this computer.

My base path is defined as '/Users/sebastian/dev' (I also tried with a trailing slash: '/Users/sebastian/dev/'). The problem seems to be that the repo name isn’t picked up and a dash is used instead (~/dev/- instead of ~/dev/SwiftWebVC).

Not working with linux[Ubuntu]

I tried to open a .md file from github. But it fails to create a directory and store that file locally. So, I get an error that "Path does not exist".

Support ssh remote file

When the dev setup is in remote through SSH, open in vscode doesn't work, it shows file path not exists.

Cannot open projects on windows

Cannot open projects on Windows when I setted a directory. It does not appear to have been downloaded locally. Is the path format wrong?

I can't open it correctly, when I opened it，there is a '-' in path, but in my base path, there is no '-'

Fix links with query params

Links with query params are not opened correctly.
Change regexp to capture and ignore query parameters.
