Releasing

This docs are partly adapted by the official VS Code publishing instructions.

Setup

We use vsce for publishing new version to the VS Code Marketplace. Install it globally

$ npm install -g vsce
$ vsce --version

or use it directly

$ npx vsce --version

As a second step before publishing new versions, you need to get a personal access token for our bpmn-io marketplace publisher. Refer the official docs to eventually create a new token.

In case you want to do a dry run before publishing, simply do

$ vsce package

This will create a .vsix file for the extension. It can be used to share privately.

Publish a new Version

Use the access token to create and publish a new version to the VS Code Marketplace. Make sure the access token is bound to a publisher.

$ vsce publish patch -p <ACCESS_TOKEN>
$ vsce publish minor -p <ACCESS_TOKEN>
$ vsce publish major -p <ACCESS_TOKEN>

The version will be auto-incremented by our semantic versioning schema.
