Do you need onStartupFinished?

Open TylerLeonhardt opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

When you are onStartupFinished activated, you compete with vscode for start up time and as a result, you hurt vscode's full startup time in the process.

It's better to be reactive and only activate when the user interacts with your extension:

  • via a command
  • via a view being visible

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to vscode.dev
  2. install codetour
  3. reload the window
  4. codetour is activated

Expected behavior It shouldn't activate until needed.

Additional context The line in the package.json is here: https://github.com/microsoft/codetour/blob/main/package.json#L34

This project seems to be abandoned, I can't even get a code review on the feature I've contributed. I wouldn't expect this to get changed unless you write the change yourself. Perhaps we should fork the project and release our fork to the vs code marketplace?
