extension depends on .venv

[PhilippLemke]

Hi Daniel, I'm trying to make some vs code extensions available for a windows server without internet access. Within this process, I was wondering that there is a .venv folder under d-biehl.robotcode-0.14.5/ that contains a 3.8 Python env with over 100MB. I assume that this is mandatory to ensure compatibility of the Python packages for RobotCode, but I prefer to ask the author then assuming ;-)

Thanks Philipp

Desktop:

• VS Code Version 1.73.1
• RobotCode Version 0.14.5
• OS: Windows
• Python Version 3.9.8

Where did you find the .venv folder? In the .vsix file?

If you want to install the extension without internet access you can download the extension on the marketplace. For RobotCode you also need to download the python extension.

I find it in the user space .vscode\extensions\d-biehl.robotcode-0.14.5\.venv.

Download and installing the extension via vsix file works like a charm, so definitely the preferred option instead of trying to export extensions from the own user space. thx

ok ;-)

the .venv directory doesn't really belong in there, i recently changed the build structure a bit. Maybe I overlooked it. But thanks for the hint. In the next version the vsix should be much smaller. The next version will be released in the next few days.

I think I can close this question now?
