Fix: OpenVSX urls with versionRaw
What does this MR do and why?
Fix: OpenVSX urls with versionRaw
- This fixes an issue with OpenVSX to support installing extensions like hashicorp.terraform.
- See this issue.
History:
- Out of the box, VSCode provides a
{version}parameter forresource_url_template. This{version}can sometimes include atargetPlatform(e.g.web) which actually causes Open VSX to 404. - In this MR, we patched our VSCode fork to incldue a
{versionRaw}that doesn't include thistargetPlatform, which Open VSX is happy with. - This MR updates the main project's settings to use
{versionRaw}in theresource_url_template.
