Issue while trying to package the VS code extension using vsce

[YHAMSTM]

Hello there,
I am still investigating GLSP project to create a VS Code Extension around it.
To do so, I tried the glsp-vscode-integration and working with it. Debugging is working correctly now, thanks to Eclipse's community help. However, it looks like the vsce packager does not support yarn workspace / lerna monorepo.
Archive contains empty node_modules, and dependencies are not available from the VSIX package.
I did not find any script on the project to build the VSIX, so I tried to do:

• cd example/workflow/extension folder
• vsce package --yarn

The archive does not contain any monorepo dependencies...

Is the packaging procedure documented anywhere ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @hamitiya-STM,
the example in the vscode-integration was never intended for packing/publishing and a little bit of additional configuration is required
to achieve this. This usecase is also interesting for other adopters we should probably update the workflow example extension to properly support packaging. I have created #597 to track this.

As you already noticed vsce doesn't work well with yarn in combination with lerna. To easiest way to solve this issue is to bundle the
workflow example extension with webpack. Then vsce package --yarn should work as intended.

I have already started working on the PR for #597. You can have a look at the WIP branch (eclipse-glsp/glsp-vscode-integration@0e61fcf) to see the necessary changes.

I'll give it a try, many thanks!
