Node defaults to a limit of 1.7gb apparently, this causes issues particularly
on Windows where it's easy to hit this limit. This change rolls the limit
adjustment into npm run watch and npm run compile.
Fixes#7108
This is the first build to feature the upgrade to winpty@0.4.1 in addition to
the conversion to TypeScript and general code clean up. The most notable
change is that Git Bash no longer goes out of sync and likely a bunch of other
issues in #14613. Certain applications within WSL do not function correctly
with this build.
I tested this on Windows and Linux.
Part of #13625
The terminal should be a lot faster at processing output now thanks to
sourcelair/xterm.js#422
Also of note: sourcelair/xterm.js#417: changed escape sequence for alt-arrow to work on bash on os x
This adds support for building Flatpak application bundles, which should be
runnable on any Linux distribution with Flatpak support. See the page at
http://flatpak.org/getting.html
New Gulp tasks are added to prepare a directory with the needed files
(vscode-linux-${arch}-prepare-flatpak), assembling the Flatpak bundles
(vscode-linux-${arch}-flatpak), and for cleaning the build directories
(clean-vscode-linux-${arch}-flatpak). This mimics how the Debian and RPM
package creation works. Hence, building an application bundle is done with:
$ gulp vscode-linux-x64-flatpak
[...]
$ ls *.flatpak
com.visualstudio.code.oss-x86_64.flatpak
Installing and running the application is achieved with:
$ flatpak --user install --bundle com.visualstudio.code.oss-x86_64.flatpak
$ flatpak run com.visualstudio.code.oss
(Removing "--user" would install the application system-wide. Also note that
the "org.freedesktop.Platform" runtime needs to be installeed, check the
Flatpak website for instructions.)
The "flatpak-bundler" development dependency provides an asynchronous API to
invoke "flatpak-builder". The "gulp-image-resize" module is used to
incorporate scaling of the application icon to multiple sizes, and uses
ImageMagick (or GraphicsMagick) under the hood, which is commonly available on
most GNU/Linux distributions.
Instead of building the Electron dependencies ourselves, this uses the
io.atom.electron.BaseApp bundle as base application.
Instead of building the Electron dependencies, this reuses the
"io.atom.electron.BaseApp" bundle as base application. The contents of the
base application are imported at build time, and then Electron and the
prepared files added on top. The prebuilt base application will be fetched
automatically using the URL specified in the "baseFlatpakref" attribute of the
manifest, and it is kindly hosted at Amazon S3 by Endless Computers
(https://endlessm.com). The sources for the base application can be found at:
