Stability issues and future package dev

[smishr]

Hi all,

I have started using v0.1.2 extension for Pluto inside VScode, but it sometimes deletes the current active cell after CMD+s saving, or when the cell results in Multiple definitions error for notebook. After CMD+s message popups on top right side saying "File change detected, notebook updated", with the line I have been currently typing in deleted.

Replication

see above description

System

• MacOS 13.2.1 (22D68)
• Julia 1.8.5 (not 1.5-1.7 which is recommended in the instructions)
• VS Code version 1.75.1
• add Pluto#vscode-webview-proxy

As I was using this extension, I am wondering if it better to simply use Pluto notebooks in browser, and not in VSCode. Is there plan to develop and maintain this extension or bring it out of alpha preview (there havent been any PRs in over a year)?

Hey @smishr!

Thanks for your interest! Development of this extension in on hold because we need https://github.com/fonsp/Pluto.jl/pull/2296 on the Pluto.jl side to overcome a big UX problem in the extension related to unsaved content and saving with Cmd+S. So while this repository looks inactive, we are still sort-of-actively working on the Pluto changes necessary for this extension.
