Most VS Code IDE extensions appear to be missing

[SrJSDev]

Describe the bug

It seems like I can't find a lot of extensions in the IDE, for example:

Link to the blitz that caused the error

https://stackblitz.com/~/github.com/SrJSDev/website-main

Steps to reproduce

1. Click on extensions nav button.
2. Search for a common extension.

Expected behavior

I should be able to find the same extensions I can find in vscode.dev at least?

Parity with Local

• I have run the project in my local machine and I could not reproduce the issue.

Hi Steven! 👋

Thanks a lot for opening this issue! Sadly, we currently don’t support any extension store. For the time being, with codeflow being in beta, we support a limited set of extensions that get preinstalled with codeflow. You can only enable/disable them but not install any other extensions.

@Nemikolh if a set of extensions made the experience better for one of the linked starter projects, what would it take to get compatibility or get optionally included (via configfile?) in the editor?
In particular, I'm looking to have

• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=EmberTooling.emberjs
• https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=typed-ember.glint-vscode
• and then disable the built in TS Features (because Glint wraps TS, as is common with the frameworks with custom file formats)

The starter templates

The two starter templates are:

• https://stackblitz.com/fork/github/ember-cli/editor-output/tree/stackblitz-app-output?title=Ember%20Starter
• and https://stackblitz.com/fork/github/ember-cli/editor-output/tree/stackblitz-app-output-typescript?title=Ember%20TypeScript%20Starter

Thanks!
(Also I'm willing to submit PRs)

Hey @NullVoxPopuli ! Wow I'm replying more than a month after you 🙈 Really sorry for replying you that late.

Ok, so right now in the latest version of Codeflow (you might need to clear your cache for this to work properly or you can test in incognito mode at https://stackblitz.com/~/) we use the OpenVSX registry. So if you publish your extensions on https://open-vsx.org/ you should be able to see them in codeflow and verify that everything works.

Note that this decision is not final, we might not use the OpenVSX registry when Codeflow is out of beta. But at least it will help with testing. Also, whatever we decide, we'll keep you posted.

Now for the Classic editor (which is what you get for the ember starters right now), we cannot add vscode extensions because it's very custom (and very lightweight).
