@patlefort Thanks for pointing out the python-distutils-extra
@alexmurkoff For the directory issue, the unity-launch flag has been deprecated and have to removed so VSCodium can open directories correctly from any explorer
More here: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/pull/1866
The 1.89.1 should fix both issues.
Why force python < 3.12? Installing python-distutils-extra works fine on 3.12. Are there other issues I'm not aware of?
Latest version behaves rather strangely. Latest normally working version is vscodium 1.88.1.24104-1
For more info, look at this forum post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295570
TL;DR: Files don't properly open, you have to manually drag n drop each file you need to open or manually open a file with ^O. If you don't care about being able to double-click-open a file from file explorer - ignore this comment.
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).
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
I tried installing and got the following error:
