Robin Brown (Aug 28 2023 at 19:45): Robin Brown (Aug 28 2023 at 19:45):I can't find an official publication of the https://github.com/bytecodealliance/vscode-wit extension on the VS Code marketplace.
Two extensions come up when you search for "ext:wit"
Is there an official release that I'm not finding or are does the BA not yet have an official verified release on the marketplace?
It'd be great to have an official & verified extension going into the Componentize the World event it's obvious what people should use if they want to edit .wit files.
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:47):you have to register it on the marketplace for it to be there. tons of dev oriented ones are .vsix installations only
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:47):wamr for example is also not on the marketplace iirc
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:48):the 1. you found is actually wasmer trying to corner the market on webassembly several years back
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:52):yeah, https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dtsvet.vscode-wasm is really https://github.com/wasmerio/vscode-wasm.git
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:53):using this as an example, wasmer grabbed the publisher name and now that's what it is
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:54):so here, to expand on that example, the TSC takes the Bytecode Alliance Foundation name in the vscode marketplace, and then it can publish any number of extensions underneath that banner
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:55):https://github.com/bytecodealliance/vscode-wit is perfect for that route
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:56):and I'm wrong!!! wamr is in there: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=wamr-ide.wamride
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:57):although I see how to use it or install it is a bit different than usual
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:58):Step 1: someone register Bytecode Alliance Foundation at the marketplace. :-)
Ralph (Aug 28 2023 at 19:58):OR register the repo name, however you think it best
Eduardo Rodrigues (Aug 28 2023 at 20:07):we do have an issue for that in the repo: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/vscode-wit/issues/2
David Bryant (Aug 28 2023 at 22:08):I was in a discussion with Bailey and Till about this last week, including the intention to publish the extension to the Visual Studio Marketplace prior to "Componentize the World" on September 8th so that is the plan. We've worked through most of the mechanisms required in publishing the extension (e.g,. setting up Bytecode Alliance Organization and Publisher entities within Marketplace).
Eduardo Rodrigues (Sep 02 2023 at 19:58):Thanks to @Till Schneidereit we have the WIT IDL extension in the Visual Studio Marketplace

Ramon Klass (Sep 03 2023 at 13:21):(more or less unrelated but I was astonished yesterday when I randomly opened a wit file in helix and it has syntax highlighting, I did not expect that out of the box)
