Missing python-distutils-extra in makedepends.

I could build it with the following steps. It's a hack but it worked. I hope the node-gyp upstream team will update the requirements or fix their code to work in the stable release.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vscodium.git
cd vscodium/
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install setuptools
sudo pacman -U vscodium-1.88.1.24104-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

This will no longer build because node-gyp from node18 uses python distutils which are removed in python 3.12. RIP.

Of course it would conflict extra/code. But most people won't install VSCode if they already have VSCodium :-)
Wasn't a request to this package. Just wanted to share my workaround since VSCodium hasn't a dedicated ArchWiki page.
Haven't thought about putting it in ~/.local/bin. Thanks. Applications still may ignore the PATH variable and just look into the known binary folders. Who knows. But I'll test that on UE5.

@sausix that would make this package conflict with extra/code, which is not necessarily desirable. You could make a separate package that depends on this package but provides and conflicts with code that has that symlink, or just make it manually as you already have (although I would recommend placing the symlink in ~/.local/bin instead).

sausix commented on 2024-01-18 21:20 (UTC)

Create a symlink to get VSCodium being detected by other software. Worked for me on Unreal Engine: ln -s /usr/bin/vscodium /usr/bin/code

Sorry if this appears a bit off-topic: I am now the maintainer of vscodium-electron (which uses system electron) and I have updated it. Check comments and commit logs for details.

daiyam commented on 2023-11-14 19:04 (UTC)

Using the system electron can break some plugins (like https://github.com/zokugun/vscode-sync-settings/issues/53).

The main objective of VSCodium is to provide an as close as possible version of Visual Studio Code without MS tracking... This version will stay with the included electron

But I could look into the vscodium-electron version. Maybe we could maintain it. Feel free to make any PR, it will be helpful.

By the way, the newer version delay is due to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/197976

MithicSpirit commented on 2023-11-11 17:45 (UTC)

While I would personally prefer to use system electron, I think that this package should keep bundling electron unless vscodium officially supports doing it differently. Would be nice to have vscodium-electron be maintained again though, and I'll probably switch over when it is.
