Vscodium: A specific extension cannot be found

Issue moved over from microsoft/vscode#107034

Issue Type: Bug

I can't seem to be able to install the extension File Browser from VSCode.

When I enter the extension name or ID into the search field in VSCode, it will never be included in the list of results. Using ext install bodil.file-browser as instructed on the marketplace leads to the same result.

I had to download the VSIX and install from that - that does work, there seems to be no issue with using the extension. It does show up in my installed extensions list, but still won't show up in the online search.

All other extensions can be found just as normal as far as I can tell - I wasn't able to find any other extension where this would occur as well so far.

I have tried both in regular session as well as with extensions disabled, there's no difference.

VS Code version: VSCodium 1.49.0 (e790b931385d72cf5669fcefc51cdf65990efa5d, 2020-09-10T19:42:46.044Z)

VSCodium is using openvsx as its default marketplace. It seem your extension is not available there.

There is how to set the same marketplace that vscode uses?

Ah, interesting, thanks.

Sorry for comment on this one, but one thing is not fully clear to me, where do I find the _product.json_ file?

[pdfrod]

I had the same issue as @debo; the documentation talks about a product.json but gives no hints about where to find it. It took me a while to locate it.

[debo]

@pdfrod would you be able to share that information with me too please? I still didn't manage to find it. Thanks.

[pdfrod]

@debo if you're using Ubuntu like me, it's in /usr/share/codium/resources/app/product.json. For other operating systems I have no idea, sorry.

@pdfrod Thank you so much, the location you found should work for all GNU/Linux distributions (though the package might be named differently, i.e. on Arch Linux it's /usr/share/vscodium-bin instead of /usr/share/codium).
