neotest VS openvsx

My first neovim plugin project was to write an adapter (runner) for neotest, for a language that I use regularly and which was missing from the existing adapters.

There's overseer.nvim to run all sorts of things and neotest to run tests. In general, you can check awesome-neovim or TWiN to look for plugins.

Here's some things that may help: - https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + dap ui - https://github.com/nvim-neotest/neotest

I use neotest to run tests (with pytest).

For testing I use https://github.com/nvim-neotest/neotest which gives a nice outline.

For those who don't know it, it's an adapter for neotest, a Neovim plugin that

You might look at how Neotest handles this, or even see if you can use/contribute to that project directly. It already has support for a fair number of languages at varying levels of maturity.

I am writing Python these days, and LSP + DAP + neotest give me 90% of what PyCharm would have given me. I don't know how well this works with Java, the latter two did not exist when I was still writing Java. The way I did it was use Neovim with jdt-ls to write code and IntelliJ for debugging. Debugging does not require switching between keyboard and mouse, so it was OK to me.

I'm sure that we could figure out a way to install rocks without luarocks, but it's still going to be an additional step with possible complications. Personally, I would rather just embed the library within my plugin like neotest does with xml2lua. The marginal cost of a slightly larger install is more than paid for by an easier install process and a guarantee that it works.

The following are some of the most common extension types on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and Open VSX Registry, an open-source, community-driven extension registry for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions.

Eclipse runs the Open VSX registry that VS Codium uses. Eclipse also has a fork of VS Code called Theia.

The extension is not available on https://open-vsx.org/ ? (The market place for VSCodium)

Would you consider supporting the open vsx repo in your release workflow for those of us on VSCodium?

I didn't know about https://open-vsx.org/. Very nice! But besides those languages, they are also missing things like the remote ssh extension, which is a big deal breaker for me (and I assume many others regardless of language).

Any chance you could publish it to Open VSX as well, for the people not using the Microsoft version?

no there's lots of extensions available on vscodium, just not the same ones (https://open-vsx.org)

If we do not generate enough interest, we’ll be forced to decommission https://open-vsx.org/ by the end of May, 2023
