Arch Linux User Repository

if you are having problems with the installation step with it giving a decoder error, you need to uninstall and reinstall vscodium-bin and vscodium-bin-marketplace. then try to install this package again.

@bkb try it now, updated so it would be inline with code-features package

Broken XHR

RequestService#request (browser) - error https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/extensionquery Error: XHR failed", source: vscode-file://vscode-app/opt/vscodium-bin/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js (616)

EDIT: Now it's worse, just having reinstalled the same version

770e2bb260e6831d6cf967444050bcdb /opt/vscodium-bin/resources/app/out/cli.js

Same hash upon re-downloading, so it's the right one

With only vscodium e9b562813f694221194afa56b04d31f8 /usr/share/vscodium/resources/app/product.json, and it works

What are the feature that we're talking about?

No, unless the product.json format is changed upstream

Does this package's version need to be matched to exact installed version of vscodium-bin? I.e. vscodium-bin-features 1.66.1-1 will not work with vscodium-bin 1.66.2-1, correct? It corrupts my product.json.

If yes, then I think it is a good idea to hard depend on a specific version. Something like depends=('vscodium-bin=${pkgver}' 'sed').

PATCH that worked for me (essentially just adapting code-features to this use case):

Probably some upstream change in the format?

I don't have the time to test. @Icelk can you take a look at this?
