Extensions tab is not working

[jeffteixeira]

It is not being possible to install any extension.

Looks like open-vsx.org marketplace backend is down.

[jeffteixeira]

But it is working on vscodium....

[gasinvein]

Oh, indeed. That's strange.
I see these errors in console:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://open-vsx.org/vscode/gallery/extensionquery' from origin 'vscode-file://vscode-app' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Looks like we're hitting this issue VSCodium/vscodium#746. I guess we need to port the workaround from VSCodium?

[jeffteixeira]

I believe so...

[gasinvein]

In the meantime, you can manually apply workaround from VSCodium/vscodium#746 (comment)

[jeffteixeira]

I made two changes to the ~/.vscode-oss/argv.json file: I changed enable-crash-reporter to false(#51 (comment)) and added the line "enable-browser-code-loading": false. The extensions tab is working again.

Any fix in sight for this issue?

[gasinvein]

@VarLad You can track the server-side OpenVSX issue state here.

[VarLad]

@gasinvein what if I use the VSC marketplace? Would I still get this issue?

If not, any idea how to set that up here?

[gasinvein]

@VarLad I guess not. See comments in #11 for hints.

Think this is fixed

[gasinvein]

I believe this is resolved. Reopen if still occurs for you.
