Unable to install platformio-ide extension via marketplace - Extension not listed in marketplace

[hafu]

On a fresh install of VS Code (OSS) I am unable to install the platformio-ide extension. It is not listed in the search or running the commands described in the documentation.

On another machine, where it is already installed the messages ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'platformio.managers.package'. Maybe they are related.

Manual installation works:

1. Download C/C++ for Visual Studio Code extension because it is also not in marketplace visibil via code
2. Install extension: code --install-extension ms-vscode.cpptools-1.0.1.vsix
3. Download PlatformIO IDE for VSCode extension
4. Install extension: code --install-extension platformio.platformio-ide-2.1.0.vsix

Installing visual-studio-code-bin(AUR) (Microsoft-branded release), shows PlatformIO and others. Really didn't want to install the branded one. I could install the extensions manually, but I'm getting lazy in my later years.

Just search for "platformio".

[abu-noor]

@ivankravets Arch linux's community vscode(code), doesn't show all extensions in the search, platformio being one of them. You have to install the AUR branded ones.

If this is not official VSCode, please use this instruction #1802

Thanks a lot.

I was confused, because some weeks before it worked without problems. I looked into the changes of the arch package and found the cause, they changed the markedplace url: archlinux/svntogit-community@b62a02e?branch=b62a02ec645f16528c0269faf12e362a55efda75&diff=split

Will go for the temporarily solution.

Hi
I'm also having this issue on Arch.
@hafu do you know why they made this change and if it will be reverted?
what solution did you finally use to install it?

EDIT: I finally followed procedure given by @ivankravets and it worked .

@etienne1911 I don't know why this change was made and I think it won't be reverted. I assume some license issues. There are the two possible options:

1. User the workaround (manual installation) mentioned in Publish extensions to open-vsx #1802 or steps in my initial issue
2. Or use the AUR package visual-studio-code-bin mentioned in the comment

It looks like it will took some time until PlatformIO is available in OpenVSX (which is used by code oss). PlatformIO have some dependencies, which have restrictive licenses. See: EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#86
