Connections to marketplace #418

daniel-molina · 2020-06-12T03:38:21Z

Describe the bug
I went to Network and I saw that vscodium is connecting to

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/extensionquery

Reading Docs page I learned about product.json which is said to be set to open-vsx.org. I checked /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json and I found that

"extensionsGallery": {
"serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
"cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
"itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
},

It does not seem that way.

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

I do not use vscode, so i do not know.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

I checked the Docs page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Browsing or installing extensions.

Expected behavior
No connections to Microsoft MarketPlace.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Debian-based.
Architecture: x64
Version: 1.45.1

Open VSX marketplace is available in v1.46.0 and higher.

GammaGames · 2020-06-12T15:41:12Z

I'm not sure if this issue is related to codium or openvsx or if I should open a new issue, but I can't find any extensions when I search.

I looked at the request that's being sent, the payload is:

{
  "filters": [
    {
      "criteria": [
        {
          "filterType": 8,
          "value": "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Code"
        },
        {
          "filterType": 10,
          "value": "test"
        },
        {
          "filterType": 12,
          "value": "4096"
        }
      ],
      "pageNumber": 1,
      "pageSize": 50,
      "sortBy": 0,
      "sortOrder": 0
    }
  ],
  "assetTypes": [],
  "flags": 946
}

And I get a 500 response of:

{
  "timestamp": "2020-06-12T15:33:26.792+0000",
  "status": 500,
  "error": "Internal Server Error",
  "message": "sortOrder parameter must be either 'asc' or 'desc'.",
  "path": "/vscode/gallery/extensionquery"
}

stripedpajamas · 2020-06-12T16:21:03Z

That looks like an open vsx bug to me. Can you open an issue at https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/issues and link it to this one?

stripedpajamas · 2020-06-12T16:21:25Z

I will reopen this in case anyone else is having the same issue connecting to open vsx.

I tried to delete config files for a full reset and the problem still persists.

GammaGames · 2020-06-12T21:05:39Z

FYI since this was a comment on #415, the docs have a method to revert back to the VS Code Marketplace. I have done this temporarily until the issue (eclipse/openvsx/issues/126) is addressed.

@GammaGames any idea where to place product.json on my filesystem for MacOS? I ran

sudo find / -name product.json

and it came back with nothing.

EDIT: Just found it:

/Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/Resources/app/product.json

Replace:

  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"

talentlessguy · 2020-06-13T22:06:38Z

@phd I don't have such folder... I installed VSCodium with AppImage 🤔

rauldipeas · 2020-06-14T05:14:52Z

Thank you so much @phd! It's working now!

bencrbcp · 2020-06-14T06:35:33Z

@phd Life saver!

ghost · 2020-06-14T09:53:59Z

Why did we switch to open-vsx then? To go back to Microsoft's marketplace?

Daniyal-Javani · 2020-06-14T11:54:22Z

Also we have no access to open-vsx because of Iran sanctions but Microsoft's marketplace is working

ghost · 2020-06-14T14:49:50Z

@Rowisi Good question, but probably because the licensing restrictions to Microsoft's marketplace needs more investigation.

I'm wondering if we could add a feature to VSCode to be able to choose the Marketplace from the UI. I think that would be handy.

joseluisq · 2020-06-14T22:25:07Z

Same issue using VSCodium v1.46.0 on ArchLinux.

Temporary workaround:
Update product.json file following @phd's comment: #418 (comment)

File: /usr/share/vscodium-bin/resources/app/product.json

wattry · 2020-06-15T01:08:37Z

I upgraded to 1.46 and the market place stopped working. The console is showing 500 errors:

I was using brew to manage VSCodium however I cannot select the previous version (1.45) so I manually reverted using the binary provided here and the market place started working again.

ghost · 2020-08-15T18:05:10Z

it works now

Snooz82 · 2020-08-19T16:28:39Z

i really think that this is a bad move.
Sorry!

But this lead me to throw VSCodium away and install VSCode.
from one day to another i could not find the Extensions i was using normally!
i tried to analyze it but didn't directly find a solution, so i tested VSCode and this worked fine...

Open-VSX may be a nice place, but for me it caused some problems!
i would like to see some kind of a switch in the GUI to select the Marketplaces that are configured.

I now fix this but it was even not easy to find this thread here when searching for this issue...

stripedpajamas · 2020-08-21T17:54:08Z

I understand that this marketplace switch presents a regression since there aren't nearly as many extensions available from Open VSX as there are from MS. Much appreciation to anyone submitting ad-hoc solutions for using the MS marketplace -- I encourage the people in this thread who have come up with methods to submit PRs to the README/DOCS so that others who want to use Microsoft's marketplace can possibly have that option without digging through issues.

VSCodium will be sticking with Open VSX for the foreseeable future. I said from the beginning (on the README since almost first commit) that VSCodium would use Microsoft's extension marketplace until there was an open source alternative.

Ideally MS would allow extension marketplace to be configured in the app's settings instead of baked-in at build time. I'm not sure if this is on their roadmap (but doubtful since they will want everyone using their proprietary marketplace).

Closing this issue for now (although feel free to comment if I've missed something still pending in this issue). I will create a readme banner or issue template so that it's easier for anyone unaware of this change to figure out what happened in recent versions.

By default vscodium uses open-vsx.com for extension library (IUSE="ext_vsx"). To revert to Microsoft markplace, use the 'ext_msm' use flag. See VSCodium/vscodium#418 for more information.

Is there any way to make in permanent? After every update I have to

Quick workaround:
Edit /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json:
Replace:
  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"

    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",

  },
If somebody is looking where to find product.json on macOS:
/Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/Resources/app/product.json

Is there any way to make it permanent? I mean after every update I have to manually change it back to MS store.
I can write an update hook for it, but I curious about an easier and more elegant way. 😄

stripedpajamas · 2020-09-13T02:23:24Z

Not atm, at least that I'm aware of. Honestly MS should just make marketplace a setting instead of a "compile-time" var.

ghost · 2020-10-21T20:13:01Z

Same issue using VSCodium v1.46.0 on ArchLinux.

Temporary workaround:
Update product.json file following @phd's comment: #418 (comment)

File: /usr/share/vscodium-bin/resources/app/product.json

OR

/usr/lib/code/product.json if you install the open source version community/code

hydranix · 2021-01-25T13:36:12Z

Quick workaround:

Edit /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json:

Replace:

  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"
  },

with:

  "extensionsGallery": {

    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
    "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
  },

Or command to fix it
Run as root:

cp /usr/lib/code/product.json /tmp/.product.json
jq -M '.extensionsGallery.serviceUrl |= "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery" | .extensionsGallery.itemUrl |= "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items" | .extensionsGallery.cacheUrl = "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index"' /tmp/.product.json > /usr/lib/code/product.json
rm /tmp/.product.json

rugk · 2021-02-20T14:45:30Z

BTW if you use the flatpak that switch that is also documented in the Readme is a little more complicated.

See flathub/com.vscodium.codium#22 for a solution in the Flathub version.

Sleepful · 2021-02-22T21:50:11Z

My new work-around is using emacs instead

spirobel · 2021-03-19T11:10:27Z

is there an alternative to vscodium? i dont want the gates snooping, but I need plugins that are only on the microsoft store.

@spirobel https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia

stripedpajamas · 2021-03-28T18:58:43Z

@spirobel in the next version of VSCodium, you can use the MS extension gallery (persistently). See the recently merged #674

On a packaged Mac app, replace the content with open -a TextEdit /Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/Resources/app/product.json . (See #418 (comment))

MPLew-is · 2021-07-20T15:52:14Z

@dan-r95 there’s no need for edit the package anymore, see #674 for a way to override via environment variable or user-level configuration file.

CalvinLanger · 2021-07-22T19:25:08Z

clearing cache from product.js file with code from @phd is the solution. Just find product.js file where you installed VS Code

gitddpsm · 2021-07-25T12:08:20Z

Quick workaround:
Edit /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json:

awesome ! Thank you. 💟💟💟💟💟

mrksnlcln · 2021-08-01T13:01:10Z

Quick workaround:

Edit /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json:

Replace:

  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"
  },

with:

    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
    "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
  },

After an hour of troubleshooting on what I did wrong in my parrot OS, finally I got the actual error and found this post. I cannot thank you enough! :)

ab1nn · 2021-08-05T06:41:43Z

Quick workaround:

Edit /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json:

Replace:

  "extensionsGallery": {
    "serviceUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery",
    "itemUrl": "https://open-vsx.org/vscode/item"
  },

with:

    "cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
    "itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
  },

For me, this file was not there. Instead I tried that here /usr/share/vscodium-bin/resources/app/product.json and it worked like a charm.

VanGoethe · 2021-08-12T14:56:42Z

Had the same issue once, i was able to solve it by modifying ~/.vscode/argv.json file by adding "enable-browser-code-loading": false

hope it works for you too
