Description
Edit: Originally this issue was specifically about the
.debinstallation method, but since this problem is not specific to it, I edited the issue to be more general.
How to reproduce
- Install (an outdated version of) VS Code using one of the installation methods.
- Open VSCode and wait for the
(1)to appear on the settings icon. - Click on the settings icon and then on Download Now.
Expected behavior
VSCode starts the download of the latest version's file (when the .tar.gz was used to install VS Code) or instructs the user to run an update through the relevant package manager.
Actual behavior
VS Code always starts the download of the latest version's .tar.gz file.
Possible solution
VS Code could check what type of download was used to install and behave differently based on that.
Checking whether a .deb was used could look something like this:
import { spawn } from 'child_process';
export function isDebInstallation(): Promise<boolean> {
return new Promise(resolve => {
spawn('dpkg', ['--list', 'code']).on('close', code => {
resolve(code === 0);
});
});
}
Another option would be to include the information about what installation method was used in the release.
