positron CLI returns VS Code version
Positron Version: Positron Version: 2023.09.0 (Universal) build 203 Code - OSS Version: 1.79.0 Commit: 519fbc791a60d21275cb20c3b8214202b99605a2 Date: 2023-09-22T02:37:21.484Z Electron: 22.3.10 Chromium: 108.0.5359.215 Node.js: 16.17.1 V8: 10.8.168.25-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 22.6.0
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- call
positron --version - get back
1.79.0
What did you expect to happen?
Get the Positron version rather than VS Code version: IE: 2023.09.0 (Universal) build 203
I'd also prefer this over having to go to About and copying the Positron version manually
Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?
Workbench will need to be able to call this so that we can support changes to positron over time.
Another place we check the version, but without invoking the CLI: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio-pro/blob/main/src/cpp/server/extras/scripts/install-vs-code-ext.sh.in#L66-L70
