Hi @<1541954607595393024:profile|BattyCrocodile47>
Do you mean to start a remote session instead of the cli directly from the vscode ui and connect to it? If so, that would be awesome!! We have a remote session from the web were it spins you remote session and launches vscode inside the container so you work on it in your browser. But a VSCode plugin is a great idea, do you have a ref code to similar plugins?
I took a look
- I think the Outerbounds extension (the one in my screenshot) is currently closed source. That makes sense to me. A bit sad because it is highly similar.
- Another example could be the AWS ToolKit extension. But sadly, it's hardly a "minimal example". I was thinking it's relevant because it uses your local
~/.aws/folder, which is similar to what we'd want to do.
I'll search around some more when I get time. I have no idea, but it feels like ClearML has already done the hard part which is creating clearml-session in the first place.
This could be a really low-hanging OSS contribution that could make a real impact 😄 .
Duh! I bet VS Code's Python extensions like the VS Code Black Extension would be a really good starting place. They are small and are wrappers around a Python CLI tool. I bet there's a lot we could adapt for the ClearML CLI
s like the
would be a really good starting place.
This is actually JS (typescript) ... not python, not sure on how to continue from there 😞
Yeah, I believe all VS Code Extensions are in TypeScript. My main point was that this is an example of a VS Code extension that executes a Python CLI.
I see, good point. It does look like mostly boiler plate code, not sure where it actually runs the python command, but I'm sure it is there (python.ts, but could not locate who is actually using it)
Yeah. I'd need to clone this and run it locally to start to understand how it all works. Would be a cool exercise. They advertise that it's really easy to author VS Code extensions. I've seen pretty junior folks do it which makes me think it can't be too bad 😆
LOL, if you can get it to run any python code, I can help with the rest. We just need to make sure we can capture the output, and then start the VScode remote debugging feature directly from the extension.
@<1594863216222015488:profile|ConvincingGrasshopper20> throwing this out there... would you want to make this with me at the Hackathon??
Playing around this weekend to learn the ins and outs of extensions
I think it will work. There's a lot of really useful code in the black extension. I'm recruiting people now to join in on Friday. I'm actually very confident about it after messing around.
In a future iteration, it'd be cool if you could configure presets. Like maybe you have an on-startup.sh script you really like using to set up your instance, and VS Code extensions you want to pass to the --install-extensions ... flag
I did a post on Linkedin with several slides on how I plan to build it here
This is good stuff! Keep us posted here, I'll do my best to support live 😍
Great start! I'm not sure if I'll be able to commit time during the hackathon, but I'd like to help with this extension once I have a leaner period at work. I hope this will be open-source & accept contributions @<1541954607595393024:profile|BattyCrocodile47>
Oh awesome @<1523701132025663488:profile|SlimyElephant79> ! If you want to take a look, I made a big list of things to add. I'm working on a docker-compose.yaml file so we can have a good local development environment.
There's a lot of room to improve this from cleaning up the code to adding features on the list.
