Web Extension Migration

[nturinski]

Resource Groups

• [x] Configure webpack for each extension https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azuretools/issues/1353
• [x] Migrate remaining track 1 packages to track 2
  • [x] Identify the Azure SDK packages that need to be migrated to track 2.
• [x] Polyfill or substitute any non-polymorphic dependencies and sub-dependencies
• [x] Migrate from Azure Account extension authentication to VS Code auth provider
  • [x] Port over old implementation of VS Code auth provider https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azureresourcegroups/pull/528
  • [x] Refactor Resources to use VS Code auth provider on UIKind.Web only https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azureresourcegroups/pull/542
• [x] Configure a delivery DevOps pipeline for web extensions
  • [x] Create a pipeline that can deliver vsix to a public storage blob
• [x] Discern which features are incompatible in the vscode.dev environment https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azureresourcegroups/issues/543
  • [ ] Refactor extension code into browser, Node.js, and common parts
• [ ] Decrease size of extensions vsixes

Potentially useful, the Dev CLI extension has some pipeline config that will create, publish, and comment with a link to the VSIX on PRs. Like so: https://github.com/Azure/azure-dev/pull/853#issuecomment-1375937535

That's really nice.

If we also migrated our pipelines to GitHub Actions, we'd wouldn't have to leave GitHub to DevOps as often. See Python extension for example https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/actions/runs/3894486696

It has the artifacts at the bottom:

It still comes in as a .zip file though. I wonder if that's something that's configurable.

Rough Schedule for the above:

• Configure webpack for each extension: 2 weeks
• Migrate remaining track 1 packages to track 2: 2 weeks
• Polyfill or substitute any non-polymorphic dependencies and sub-dependencies: TBD (Highly variable)
• Migrate from Azure Account extension authentication to VS Code auth provider - 4 weeks
• Configure a delivery DevOps pipeline for web extensions - 3 weeks
• Discern which features are incompatible in the vscode.dev environment - 3 weeks (with workaround)
• Decrease size of extensions vsixes - 3 weeks

PM/Eng	Work	Weeks	Date
Nathan	Configure webpack for each extension	1 weeks	~ 1/27
Nathan	Migrate remaining track 1 packages to track 2:	2 weeks	~2/17
Megan & Matthew	Polyfill or substitute any non-polymorphic dependencies and sub-dependencies	2 weeks	~2/17
Meera	Discern which features for Resource Groups is a MUST have by looking at data, verbatims and usage patterns	2 weeks	~2/3
Nathan	Discern which features are incompatible in the vscode.dev environment	2 weeks	~2/3
Megan & Matthew	Migrate from Azure Account extension authentication to VS Code auth provider	2 weeks	~2/17
Nathan	Configure a delivery DevOps pipeline for web extensions	3weeks	TBD
Nathan	Decrease size of extensions vsixes	4 weeks	TBD

@nturinski please take a look and change whatever I got wrong!

One thing we need to do; a request to the VSCode team to permit customizing the cloud used for MS auth. i.e. custom clouds and such.

An issue exists already: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/162539

Basically all of this work will be closed by: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azureresourcegroups/pull/611

Looks like this extension still declares a dependency on "Azure Account" extension, which is deprecated.

[bwateratmsft]

@ggirard07 It's the other way around--Azure Account depends on this extension.
