LaTeX Workshop does not work with VSCodium

You visited the wiki?: Yes

If your issue is with compiling a document (not having to do with finding the root file of a project), check first that you can compile manually.

You can compile a TeX document manually?: Yes

Describe the bug [Required]

I am writing my masters thesis and am using vscodium (the cleaned version of vscode) to set and compile the document. It worked like a charm and I paused it in between until yesterday. The first oddity was that no "open definition" appeared when I right-clicked an \include{}. It even showed the plugin as disabled/uninstalled (not exactly sure). Reinstalled/activated it. Then I tried to add new lines with the enter-key and got the aforementioned error.

I thought it might be by messing around in the predefined snippets so I removed all vscodium stuff in my home folder (vs-codium-free and the according folder under .config).

Then I created a new user on my PC to have absolute no traces I might have overlooked. Even then I get the same error.

It seems like the latex plugin is not working properly. I am missing the TeX button on the left but syntax highlighting works...

Logs [Required]

Please paste the whole log messages here, not parts of ones. The log should start with Initializing LaTeX Workshop. It is very important to identify problems.

LaTeX Workshop Output [Required]

Not possible since the button "TeX" is not shown

Developer Tools Console [Required]

Desktop [Required]

• OS: elementaryOS 5.1.5
• VS Code version: 1.46.0
• Extension version: 8.10.0
• TeX distribution version: unsure but not important since compiling with atom is flawless

Please try removing '/home/foo/.vscode-oss/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-8.10.0/ and reinstalling the extension. VS Code's uninstalling extensions does not remove the directories sometimes.

You should see the directory too by executing

ls -l /home/foo/.vscode-oss/extensions/james-yu.latex-workshop-8.10.0/out/src/

[cmburg]

I removed the whole directory (hence I created a new user too to be sure there are absolutely no traces left) but to no avail.

I even tried to reinstall the previous version but that threw an error with the info I have to manually download (and probably install) the package.

[tamuratak]

This issue seems to be caused not by the extension. The cause seems to be vscodium itself. We can do nothing on our side. Please contact the development team of vscodium.

This conclusion is a bit surprising to me. I am running this extension with no issues in VSCodium on a different computer (also, for me, ubuntu 20.04; see #2183). The VSCodium version numbers are the same for both machines. The machines are different in other ways, (in particular one is using GNOME desktop, the other KDE) but codium is a point of commonality between them.

[tamuratak]

They have begun to use their own marketplace for plugins. See https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium#extensions-and-the-marketplace. It seems to be problematic. The latest version of LaTeX Workshop is v8.10.0 at their site although the actual latest version is v8.11.0.

When you use an unofficial product, you have to debug it by yourself. If you do not want to do that, I recommend you to use VS Code, not VSCodium.

[lgsmith]

Their marketplace links to this github page. What is problematic about the marketplace? Do you have any insight into the source of the incompatibility?

This is the only extension (and then, only on one computer) I've ever run into that has an incompatibility that has been attributed to differences between these two differentially licensed versions of code. How are you certain this is coming from VSCodium and not some other issue?

[tamuratak]

As I said, please debug by yourself before asking us. At least, please contact the development team of VSCodium. Try to solve the issue by yourself. That is the duty of VSCodium users.

[tamuratak]

I have downloaded vsix files from https://open-vsx.org/extension/James-Yu/latex-workshop. I have found with unzip that they did not include the directory out/. That is the cause.

Please file an issue at https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx, https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions, or https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium. I do not know which is appropriate.
