node-debug: extension is not properly packaged

[vince-fugnitto]

Description

The vscode-node-debug is not properly packaged meaning that the extension does not work correctly when consumed. As a consequence, users are not able to successfully debug (including running mocha tests).

From downloading the extension, it is clear that something went wrong as the entire dist folder is missing:

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/vincentfugnitto/workspace/theia/plugins/vscode-builtin-node-debug/extension/dist/nodeDebug.js'

@vince-fugnitto this extension namespace was claimed by MS, you will need to file an issue in vscode-node-debug and vscode-node-debug2 to ask them to release for Open VSX as well, since they are owner now

@akosyakov I wasn't aware that they had claimed the namespace and were interested in publishing to open-vsx :) I thought that since the extensions were builtins (and not usually published on the marketplace) we'd want to take care of publishing them ourselves, they are required for other plugins to work correctly.

Is there a standard way forward when requesting that they publish to open-vsx?

these extensions are published to MS marketplace:

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.node-debug
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.node-debug2

Not yet, we wait till the registry is transfered to Eclipse Foundation.
