[dotnet, golang] Connot access to extension SDK despite it being installed and FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT being used

[Dremor]

I installed VSCode through Flatpak, and followed the instruction in the first run text file, but VSCode as well as VScode-OSS both do not detect the Flatpak sdk extension.

I tried both FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=dotnet and FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=dotnet7 before flatpak run com.visualstudio.code, both returned Requested SDK extension "dotnet" is not installed

Installed SDKs:

$ flatpak list | grep -i sdk
Freedesktop SDK	org.freedesktop.Sdk	22.08.15	22.08	flathub	system
.NET Core SDK extension	org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.dotnet7	7.0.401	23.08	flathub	system
Go programming language Sdk extension	org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.golang	1.21.0	23.08	flathub	system

Same problem with the golang extenssion and FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=golang

In all cases /usr/lib/sdk/ is empty.

Edit: the command $ find / -iname dotnet returns no result when executed inside the container.

Edit2: Something noteworthy I ended up finding is that the dotnet6 sdk do work as intended, but both dotnet5, dotnet7 and golang don't.

Try downgrading to the 22.08 branch for each Sdk Extension

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.dotnet7 org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.golang org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable

Then when running vscode, you may see the extensions load successfully

flatpak run com.visualstudio.code
flatpak-vscode: Enabling SDK extension "golang"
flatpak-vscode: Enabling SDK extension "dotnet7"

I have overrides set to I do not need to pass in the env.

flatpak --user override --show com.visualstudio.code
[Environment]
FLATPAK_ENABLE_SDK_EXT=golang,dotnet7

Both works with the 22.08 branch. Is it normal or is there a need for a fix ?

[chanster]

It's because this flatpak is built upon the 22.08 of org.freedesktop.Sdk, so we want to install the SDK extensions that are also built upon the same version.

See the source for com.visualstudio.code.yaml showing the org.freedesktop.Sdk runtime.

Would have been great if you have also updated the README.md

Looks like #473 this merge resolves this issue.

Until the next runtime major update. It is kinda the problem with Flatpak extension. Is it doesn't know for which app we are installing the extension, it just instal the latest one.

Maybe we should create our own extension that just pulls the correct extension, for the correct runtime. If we update this in the documentation, we'll have to continue doing it every times we update the runtime.

I tried to use the PHP 8.2 SDK extension (22.08 branch) and had the same problem.
