Can I manually correct VSCode bindings?

[fsoikin]

I found this issue with VSCode bindings where window.withProgress has Progress<obj> in place where the original typings have Progress<{ message?: string; percentage?: number }>.

This is quite easy to fix, but I hesitate, because this file looks like it was autogenerated, and if that's the case, it means that my manual fixes will be overwritten by the next autogeneration.

Any thoughts?

We're still defining the process (I'm currently updating ts2fable). Most of the bindings already have manual editions so next automatic update is going to be a problem anyways we need to solve. I guess you can send a PR (unless @Krzysztof-Cieslak has something to say), or just add the file directly to your project and do manual updates as needed for now.

BTW, I think ts2fable generated Progress<obj> because it doesn't support yet inline interface declarations.

Also, the latest version of bindings I'm using for Ionide are here - https://github.com/ionide/ionide-vscode-helpers/blob/master/Fable.Import.VSCode.fs

I manually update them from time to time... and yes, I should update bindings here.

[alfonsogarciacaro]

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification @Krzysztof-Cieslak! So I guess for now it's safe to remove the https://github.com/fable-compiler/fable-vscode repo to avoid confusion.

Also, as you're more than probably the main user/maintainer of the VSCode bindings, I think we should do whatever is most convenient for you. Maybe also deleting VSCode bindings from here, make your repo the official one and make you owner of the new Fable.Import.VSCode Nuget package?

[fsoikin]

Well, the version in ionide-vscode-helpers is not a Nuget package, but just a file that gets included via Paket, and that is necessary, because Fable 0.6 (which is currently used for Ionide) doesn't have good support for Nuget packages.

But I am currently trying to see if I can mode Ionide to Fable 1.1, and in that light, I was actually thinking the other way around: the official version of bindings should be here, and included in Ionide as a Nuget package.

Thoughts?

[fsoikin]

Also, the stuff under Ionide is not strictly "better" - both versions have some things that are absent in the other.

[fsoikin]

The above PR brings in stuff that exists in the Ionide's version, but doesn't yet exist here. As you can see, the are only a few additions. If we were to go the other way, there would be a lot more.

[alfonsogarciacaro]

@fsoikin You're right, moving the bindings to Ionide org may be tricky until Ionide upgrades to Fable 1.1. So let's wait until this happens (@Krzysztof-Cieslak please check with me if you need help with that) and then decide where to place the official bindings according to what's most convenient for Krzys (and other users).

In regard to:

• Can we publish this to Nuget instead of NPM? ionide/ionide-vscode-helpers#48
• Updates for NET 7 and Fable 4. fable-vscode-extension#1 (comment)
• Updates for NET 7 and Fable 4. fable-vscode-extension#1
• Track repo splits #80 (comment)

Can we make this happen?

Lets unlist the current (old) package from Nuget and instead go with ionide version (publish to Nuget) and make a proper version. I can't find out how or where ionide/ionide-vscode-helpers is published. I assumed to npmjs.org but I can't find it there. Also the version is missing?

I don't have access to the NuGet package so i can't manage it.
