Please, check #41. I believe addressing the compatibility problem for all extensions is doomed. nix4vscode should solve this, but maintainers didn't have enough time to finish it and deprecate this repo (#47).

I saw #41 and am not a huge fan of having to generate lock file for extensions.

i use this script to figure out what version to pin to

with builtins; let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { };
  inherit (pkgs) lib;
  currentVersion = "1.84.2";

  checkVersion = v: all (f: f v) [
    (lib.versionAtLeast currentVersion)
    (lib.versionOlder (lib.versions.major currentVersion))
  ];

  file = ./data/cache/vscode-marketplace-latest.json;


  json = lib.importJSON file;
  packages = filter (p: lib.strings.hasPrefix "github" p.publisher) json;
  getStripVersion = x: lib.strings.removePrefix "^" x.engineVersion;
  byVersion = groupBy getStripVersion packages;
  byMajor = groupBy lib.versions.major (attrNames byVersion);

  compatableVersions = filter checkVersion (attrNames byVersion);

  versionsThisMajor = byMajor.${(lib.versions.major currentVersion)};
  tooOldFor = lib.subtractLists compatableVersions versionsThisMajor;
  howBad = lib.flatten (lib.attrVals tooOldFor byVersion);

in
trace howBad (length howBad)
