Contribution point for timeline provider #94151

Closed

Description

Testing #93820

Why is not there a package.json contribution point for timeline provider? Following are the advantages

  • I am not sure how I have to activate my extension if I only contribute timeline provider. Having a timeline contribution point can allow me to activate my extension when user starts using the timeline my extension contributes

  • Also helps in displaying the feature contributions in extension editor view

    Sandeep Somavarapu (@sandy081): Johannes Rieken (@jrieken) and I talked about supporting this originally but felt that it was something that could be added later.

    Hm, not sure... Somehow timeline feels like master-detail, e.g you open an editor and the timeline shows its contents. With that usage-pattern it feels wrong to have an activation event. Then there is the 'Open timeline' command which is different... You could that command as activation event and all is good

    On what event shall an extension contributing a timeline should be activated?

    For instance these onCommand:openTimeline and onFilesystem:foo

    Johannes Rieken (@jrieken) should we support an onView:timeline activation? Rather than a really specific point just for the timeline?

    Yeah, that would make sense

    To verify ensure that your extension that contributes a timeline can activate properly when the timeline is revealed via the onView:timeline activation
