Open VSX registry is few versions behind and without ownership

[Knud3]

It seems that Monkey Patch in Open VSX registry is missing ownership and is few versions behind. eg. VSCodium is using Open VSX registry by default.

[knopp]

The check seems to be there:

monkey-patch/src/path-manager.ts

Lines 23 to 30 in 23ca7c4

	get workbenchHtmlPath() {
	let res = path.join(this.installationPath, "vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html");
	if (fs.existsSync(res)) {
	return res;
	} else { // vscode 1.70
	return path.join(this.installationPath, "vs/code/electron-sandbox/workbench/workbench.html")
	}
	}

What am I missing?

I thought that too. It seems that Open VSX registry is few versions behind https://open-vsx.org/extension/iocave/monkey-patch

I'm trying to install Customize UI in Codium which needs Monkey Bar Patch. I'm getting the following error:

Monkey Patch failed: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/code/electron-browser/workbench/workbench.html'

Is this likely related to being some versions behind (it's working fine in the Microsoft distribution of VSCode and I noticed the same file in the comment from @knopp) or should I open a seperate ticket?

It is related. Look my first comment edit history and you find workaround (same lines what @knopp mention).

@binaryben Another solution will be to download the latest version of monkey-patch and install it in vscodium from the VSIX file... But before you install it you will need to get rid of the old version. I removed it manually from extensions folder ~/.vscode-oss/extensions. I am in a mac.

I hope this will help. I also hope that monkey-patch version issue in open VSX will be resolved soon.

Thanks @mangapi. I've actually already taken that option. I have monkey patch in my manifest of extensions that I download from the official marketplace now.

The js script is run via Power Tools extension for reference.
