Instance webviews through Theia vscode plugins?

#1

I see that the entire vscode WebviewPanel API is supported, but vscode.createWebviewPanel() isn’t. Is there a specific a workaround to initialize a WebviewPanel in Theia when using vscode API?

It should be supported: https://github.com/eclipse-theia/theia/blob/cdfa34525c1b724f221cdefb302b93177365688c/packages/plugin-ext-vscode/src/node/plugin-vscode-init.ts#L56-L81

Where do you see that it does not?

It’s vscode.window.createWebviewPanel btw, not vscode.createWebviewPanel

My bad, I meant vscode.window.createWebviewPanel. Here it shows it’s not supported:

@santosr it should be supported, could you be more specific on the error you have or the VS Code extension you’re trying to use and that is not working ?

@florentbenoit Was running into some issues when testing a vscode extension, when I went looking for the supported API and noticed was showing up as not supported I thought it was an issue.

Finally the issue was somewhere else and the createWebViewPanel actually works.
