VScode commands for Langium extensions

[lazkany]

Hi, I have followed the tutorials and everything worked for me. I have now a language with a generator to java that works perfectly.
Now I am trying to register a vscode command so that I read the current file in the editor and directly trigger the generator. This way is easier than manually trigger the cli. The way I understand is that such commands are registered inside the active function in the file extension.ts.

However, it seems that Languim disabled this and if I write a silly command just like the one below, it does not show up. Am I missing something?

Thanks

export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext): void {
    client = startLanguageClient(context);
    let disposable= vscode.commands.registerCommand('vistodo.hello', ()=>{
        vscode.window.showInformationMessage('Welcome to SynTM');
    });
    context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}

Hey @lazkany,

You will need to declare the command in the package.json of your extension. While the command that you created is still registered in vscode, it isn't available in the command palette without the declaration.

That is perfect. Thanks a lot!

I really enjoy working with Languim and the full support.
