Dendron extension can't be installed

[gour]

Hello,

I'd like to use Dendron note-taking extension, but there is problem installing it...

Here is what I get:

oni2 --debug  --install-extension dendron.dendron-0.32.0.vsix
/tmp/.mount_OnivimuEoqHi/usr/bin/Oni2_editor: /tmp/.mount_OnivimuEoqHi/usr/lib/libselinux.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0)
Failed to install extension: dendron.dendron-0.32.0.vsix

producing no debug output besides that.

Another (popular) extension for similar usage is Foam which also can't be used - e.g. #3112, so it seems that OniVim2 is losing some potential users (e.g. researchers) who are not strictly coders. I'm aware of #1551 and agree that those that want to use VSCode are already using it, but, due to ideological reasons, I do not want to do it, vim does not have adequate plugins for note-taking suitable for research work...So, that gives me no other option than to switch to Emacs/org-roam.

Hi @gour ,

Thanks for logging the issue. I'm wondering - where did you get the VSIX?

It's also published on open-vsx, so would be curious to know if installing it that way works:

oni2 --install-extension dendron.dendron

Once installed, though, there are a few blockers currently (similar to the blockers for Foam tracked in #3112 )

• Need tree-view support: Extension: Support for tree-views #3126
• Need webview support: Extension: Support 'webview' functionality #3128

I'm seeing a few other blockers that I'm looking at:

• An activation error:
  
• Potentially issues with Quickmenu/Quickinput (Dendron relies on this to start a workspace, or create a new note)

My mistake - after thoroughly cleaning old install, the error went away :-) - but now I have a new one (#3311) with another related extension.

Thanks for the update @gour ! I'll close this one but use #3311 to track the remaining issue (and #3126 / #3128 to track some of the not-yet-implemented functionality).
