Not working on Ubuntu 24.04.1 / Gnome 46 - neither X11 nor Wayland.

[zweifeln]

It is not working on Ubuntu 24.04.1 / Gnome 46.
Neither on Wayland (my default) nor on X11.

I installed it through Gnome extensions, logged out and in, rebootet, toggled the extension … it's not showing up.
I assume it should show up under settings => search as an option, but it doesn't.

When searching it is also not popping up.

Is it me or is there some bug? (Any way I can help make it work?)

Hi! Thanks for reaching out,
I've only tested the extension in Fedora with Wayland (is what I use), so this might be a bug.

I assume it should show up under settings => search as an option, but it doesn't.

It does not appears as a provider, it just returns the results when you search (registering the provider needs to configure an event bus and other things I haven't done)

Is the extension reporting an error in the installed extensions page? It is a red ERROR message instead of the toggle switch.
You can use "Looking Glass" to see the status of the extensions as well, use alt + F2 and run lg to open the window.

Maybe your version of vscode is not properly detected, you can find the ID of your version in "Looking Glass" as well, open a vscode window and look at the ID in the "Windows" tab

only these are supported (new ones can be added)

vscode-search-provider/src/provider.ts

Lines 87 to 94 in 4e303d0

	const ids = [
	"code",
	"code-insiders",
	"code-oss",
	"codium",
	"codium-insiders",
	"com.vscodium.codium",
	"com.vscodium.codium-insiders",

It could be also that the folder holding the configuration is not found, these are the available folders:

vscode-search-provider/src/provider.ts

Lines 58 to 68 in 4e303d0

	const appDirs = [
	// XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	"Code",
	"Code - Insiders",
	"VSCodium",
	"VSCodium - Insiders",
	// Flatpak
	"com.vscodium.codium/config/VSCodium",
	"com.vscodium.codium-insiders/config/VSCodium - Insiders",
	];

Thanks for your reply.

My issue is/was: I was using vscode via snap. So the configuration folder was indeed not found.
I installed vscodium via .deb and it works fine.

(A couple of months ago vscode didn't provide any apt/deb install any more but only snap. It seems they reversed that decision.)

So … it works for me.

Maybe productive outcome of this: do you want to include the snap config direction too?

Glad to know it's fixed!
You can create a pull request adding the new path if you want to contribute, if not, I can do it myself but I'll appreciate if you shared the path so I don't have to install snap :D
