matklad.rust-analyzer is out of date

[SimonSapin]

https://open-vsx.org/extension/matklad/rust-analyzer currently lists version 0.2.563 as "latest", whereas https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=matklad.rust-analyzer has version 0.2.591.

It looks like the last update was made by @jankeromnes in #333. Are such updates automated? Is making a new one blocked on something?

For context, I reported a bug rust-lang/rust-analyzer#8792 upstream and only when investigating that did I realize that the Archlinux build of Code OSS uses open-vsx.org instead of Microsoft’s Marketplace.

rust-analyzer’s development is rather active these days, so it can be misleading to have Code OSS say "All extensions are up to date" when in fact an old, buggy version is being used. If automating updates turns out difficult it might be better to not have this extension on open-vsx at all rather than have an old version that claims to be the latest.

Salut Simon ! 👋 😁

It looks like the last update was made by @jankeromnes in #333. Are such updates automated? Is making a new one blocked on something?

Whoops, good catch. These updates are indeed automated, but it looks like the automation started failing 2-3 weeks ago:

https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/actions/workflows/upgrade-extensions.yml

Will investigate & fix.

On a side note, this may be a good time to re-consider publishing to OpenVSX from the rust-analyzer repository itself (see also rust-lang/rust-analyzer#4936, rust-lang/rust-analyzer#5509 and rust-lang/rust-analyzer#5688).

The fix is actually as easy as adding a single at the bottom of .github/workflows/release.yaml. The line is:

&& npx ovsx publish --pat ${{ secrets.OVSX_TOKEN }} --packagePath ../../dist/rust-analyzer.vsix

Update: Fixed in https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/pull/343/files

Latest matklad.rust-analyzer should get auto-published tonight (along with a bunch of other upgrades).

Thanks for reporting the broken auto-upgrades!

Thanks for the quick fix!

I see that #342 is submitted from your personal account (rather than some bot account). Does it mean you make PRs like this manually?

You're very welcome! 🙌

So,

• anyone can upgrade all extensions in extensions.json by simply running node upgrade-extensions (see script)
• in matklad.rust-analyzer is out of date #342 I fixed the script, and ran it manually once to confirm that it works
• (when it works) the script also runs automatically every sunday, creating weekly automated PRs like this one: Upgrade extensions.json #308
