🚀 Publishing Steps

Step 1: Create Publisher Account

  1. Go to VS Code Marketplace
  2. Sign in with Microsoft account
  3. Create a new publisher with ID: prawal-sharma
  4. Verify email address

Step 2: Get Personal Access Token

  1. Go to Azure DevOps
  2. Click on User Settings → Personal Access Tokens
  3. Create new token with:
    • Organization: All accessible organizations
    • Scopes: Marketplace → Manage
  4. Copy and save the token securely

Step 3: Install vsce (if Node 20+ available)

npm install -g @vscode/vsce

Step 4: Login to Publisher

vsce login prawal-sharma
# Enter the Personal Access Token when prompted

Step 5: Package Extension

vsce package
# This creates visual-code-map-0.1.0.vsix

Step 6: Publish to Marketplace

vsce publish
# Or publish with a new version:
vsce publish minor  # bumps to 0.2.0
vsce publish major  # bumps to 1.0.0
vsce publish 0.1.1  # specific version

📦 Alternative: Manual VSIX Creation

Since we have Node 18 compatibility issues with vsce, you can:

  1. Use GitHub Actions (recommended):

    • Set up a workflow to build and publish on Node 20
    • Use the .github/workflows/publish.yml template below

  2. Local Testing:

    • The extension can be tested locally in VS Code
    • Press F5 to launch Extension Development Host
    • Run "Visual Code Map: Generate Code Map" command

🔧 GitHub Actions Workflow

Create .github/workflows/publish.yml:

name: Publish to VS Code Marketplace

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - v*

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 20
          
      - run: npm ci
      
      - run: npm run compile
      
      - run: npm install -g @vscode/vsce
      
      - run: vsce package
      
      - run: vsce publish -p ${{ secrets.VSCE_TOKEN }}
        env:
          VSCE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.VSCE_TOKEN }}

Add the Personal Access Token as a GitHub secret named VSCE_TOKEN.
