How to package, install and uninstall Pyrsia extension in the IDE

The Pyrsia extension is not yet listed in the VS Code marketplace. For now it can still be installed manually following the instructions outlined below.

Install extension (side-load extension)

• Download the latest version of the extension (vsix file) from the project release page.

• Close the IDE and install the extension using the vsix file downloaded in the previous step.

  code --install-extension <PYRSIA_VSIX_FILE_PATH>

Build package and install extension from the local repository (side-load extension)

• Install Visual Studio Code Extensions with the following command.

  npm install -g @vscode/vsce

• Package the extension in the extension repository folder as follows.

  vsce package --allow-star-activation --ignoreFile .vscodeignore --pre-release

• If the packaging was successful the last line of the VSCE logs should contain the vsix file path, for example:

  DONE  Packaged: /home/joed/repositories/pyrsia-vscode-extension/pyrsia-integration-0.0.1.vsix (960 files, 2.2MB)

• Close the IDE and install the extension using the vsix file path from the previous step.

  code --install-extension <PYRSIA_VSIX_FILE_PATH>

Uninstall (side-load)

• Find the extension in the list of the extensions (look for "pyrsia", for example undefined_publisher.pyrsia-integration).

  code --list-extensions

• Use the extension name from the list to uninstall the extension.

  code --uninstall-extension <PYRSIA_EXTENSION_NAME>
