Publish AmazonWebServices.amazon-q-vscode
to Open VSX
#4943
Comments
Thanks for raising this.
That's unfortunate. We publish each vsix artifact to different tags, e.g.:
does that help? |
The current pull workflow apparently fetches vsix file from |
Oh, I misunderstood something: it looks like AWS Toolkit is still being pulled: https://open-vsx.org/extension/amazonwebservices/aws-toolkit-vscode/changes So this doesn't necessarily "break" anything, but we do need to think about how to publish Amazon Q. |
Actually toolkit failed in the past few days/week until 3.2.0 was tagged as |
WorkaroundAs a workaround, you can install the Amazon Q extension directly from our published downloads. The vsix file(s) provided there are identical to what we would publish to OpenVSX. How to install

Dear extension author,
The publishing workflow used to work (#1355) but now it's breaking as you're releasing both
AmazonWebServices.amazon-q-vscode
andAmazonWebServices.aws-toolkit-vscode
in the same repo. Please consider pushing to the Open VSX marketplace instead of asking them to pull from your vsix files.Context
Unfortunately, as Microsoft prohibits usages of the Microsoft marketplace by any other products or redistribution of
.vsix
files from it, in order to use VS Code extensions in non-Microsoft products, we kindly ask that you take ownership of the VS Code extension namespace in Open VSX and publish this extension on Open VSX.What is Open VSX? Why does it exist?
Open VSX is a vendor neutral alternative to the MS marketplace used by most other derivatives of VS Code like VSCodium, Gitpod, OpenVSCode, Theia-based IDEs, and so on.
You can read on about Open VSX at the Eclipse Foundation's Open VSX FAQ.
How can you publish to Open VSX?
The docs to publish an extension can be found here. This process is straightforward and shouldn't take too long. Essentially, you need an authentication token and to execute the
ovsx publish
command to publish your extension. There's also a doc explaining the whole process with an example GitHub Action workflow.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
