Vscode-terraform: Publish extension on open-vsx.org

[meysholdt]

Hi!

Congrats to the 2.0 release! I'm very much looking forward to using it often and hope that I will no longer have bogus syntax validation errors :)

Could you also publish your Terraform VS Code Extension on https://open-vsx.org/ ?

This would make it much easier to use the awesome extension in project such as

• gitpod.io
• theia-ide.org
• vscodium.com
• code-server

because the ToS doesn't allow those projects to obtain the extension from Microsoft's marketplace:

Marketplace Offerings are intended for use only with Visual Studio Products and Services and you may only install and use Marketplace Offerings with Visual Studio Products and Services.

@meysholdt we will take a look at this once we resolve some of the immediate user issues, thanks for the pointer!

Any progress yet? We are really missing this extension.

@paultyng would you have any problem with me raising a PR against https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions so that they publish a given extension version to the open-vsx.org repo?

Pro: vscode-terraform maintainers don't need to worry about publishing to open-vsx.org themselves
Con: Latest versions aren't synced automatically; static version numbers are used in https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/blob/master/extensions.json so a PR is required to get newer versions available in that marketplace. But, again, upstream vscode-terraform maintainers don't need to worry about that, any interested user can raise that trivial PR.

Uggh. Ignore that comment; I see the open PR now and that's a far better way of doing things.

@paultyng Is there any way I can help you publish vscode-terraform to https://open-vsx.org? 🙏

Would really love to be able to use this extension in VSCodium, Gitpod, Theia, etc.
