Currently, we support a feature where plugins in VSCode set to plugin_active=false are added as recommended plugins within VSCode. After discussing this feature, we have decided to remove it entirely from IDEasy.
The reason for this decision is that we want to avoid implementing specific workarounds, such as for installing plugins in IDEs like VSCode or IntelliJ. Instead, we prefer to rely on officially documented APIs and CLI commands provided by the IDE itself. Since the recommendation feature represents such a workaround, we have decided to remove it.
Steps to reproduce (bug) / Use Case of feature request (enhancement)
- Set some VSCode plugins to
false in the settings and run ide vscode
- Check the output
$ ide vscode
Start: Configuring workspace main for IDE vscode
