fixes #204

[d-biehl]

Thank you for the PR, but I will not merge it in its current state. If you are willing to make further changes and familiarize yourself with the RobotCode code, I would appreciate it. And, of course, I am available for any questions.

[d-biehl]

One more little thing, is it possible that you sign your commits? This brings a little more trust, as RobotCode is used by some companies that are very security conscious and would like to know where the code that is executed on their systems comes from.

thanks. currently i'm having trouble setting up a local dev environment. i'm trying to use the devcontainer but i can't figure out how to actually build the extension. i tried vsce package and it seemed to work but i don't think it's including everything in the package, because i see this error in the extension's output tab after installing it:

Activate RobotCode Extension.
Try to activate python extension
Python Extension is active
checkRobotVersion: Robot Framework not installed

Robot Framework package not found in workspace folder 'robotcode'. Please install Robot Framework >= version 4.1 to the current python environment or select a valid python environment.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm a bit busy at the moment and now RoboCon is coming up. After RoboCon, I will expand the Contribution Guidlines, which will contain all the information you need.

@d-biehl i was able to build it and verify that changing the setting refreshes the test explorer without having to relaunch vscode. i also signed the commit. let me know if there's anything else you want me to change

[d-biehl]

It looks good at first glance, but I won't get round to taking a closer look at it and integrating it until next week. The RoboCon Online

hi @d-biehl any update on this? currently i'm considering using the new local workspace extensions feature to vendor my fork of the robotcode extension to my team, but it would be nice if this could be merged so i don't have to do that.

sorry if you're still busy, not trying to rush you, just wondering if you'll get around to it soon so i can decide whether it's worth doing this in the mean time or not

I have merged your PR and made some corrections, can you test if it works for you?

There is no official release at the moment, because I need to fix something more, but if you can't wait you can get a prelease package by downloading the vcode-package artifact on the latest build_test_package_publish action.

yeah it still works, thanks

looks like the latest job failed (i think due to flake) so i built it myself instead

[d-biehl]

Yeah, there are some flaky tests, now the build is green 😎
