Research direction
Reproduce the SDK import failure and the extension startup errors using the examples in the issue. Trace the CLI's extension path resolution and startup error logging; done means the extension import works without the .js suffix and startup failures expose a useful stack trace rather than only a one-line summary.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
- Doing like this will result error:
Error: Cannot find package '@github/copilot-sdk' imported from ...
import { joinSession } from "@github/copilot-sdk/extension.js";
instead of..
import { joinSession } from "@github/copilot-sdk/extension";
(.js difference)
- Error handling should be more improved, at CLI
v1.0.12, it shows only single line not stacktrace etc, so hard to debug. e.g:
[INFO] Launching extension: /tmp/copilot/test/.github/extensions/test/extension.mjs
[INFO] [extension:/tmp/copilot/test/.github/extensions/test/extension.mjs] [extension-bootstrap] Failed to load extension: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'
[INFO] Extension exited: /tmp/copilot/test/.github/extensions/test/extension.mjs (code=1, signal=null)
[ERROR] Extension failed during startup: /tmp/copilot/test/.github/extensions/test/extension.mjs (code=1, signal=null)
[INFO] Found 1 extension(s), launching 1 (0 disabled)
[INFO] Launching extension: /tmp/copilot/test/.github/extensions/test/extension.mjs
