Description

When testing the new WebIDE extension marketplace, I was most excited to leverage the YAML Extension (vscode-yaml – Open VSX Registry (open-vsx.org)) to facilitate the creation of YAML files used across GitOps projects.

It seems that unfortunately the extension can neither find local files, nor load remote schemas, so I can't work around it.

How to recreate:

1. Create a simple json schema for testing purposes (doesn't even need to be a schema, can just be an empty file to test if it can even be loaded)
2. Create a yaml file
3. Go to the User setting.json file
4. Add the file association between the JSON schema and the files

{
    "redhat.telemetry.enabled": false,
    "yaml.schemas": {
        "my_schema.json": ["*.yml", "*.yaml"],
    },
}

1. Create a YAML file - you should see the schema association on the top of the file, but clicking on it should show an error like Cannot Load content for: my_schema.json. Unknown schema: 'file' - the problems window should also show an error saying that the schema has no content.

2. If trying to use a remote schema, the error should be something like

   Unable to load schema from 'https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/raw/master/app/assets/javascripts/editor/schema/ci.json': Request vscode/content failed unexpectedly without providing any details. ; when the resource URL is valid.

Impact Assessment

I believe this would impact a lot of similar extensions who rely on reading some local configuration file.
