{{ic|extensionsFromVscodeMarketplace}} is a manual way to fetch extensions. However, to keep updated from upstream, [https://github.com/nix-community/nix-vscode-extensions nix-community/nix-vscode-extensions] provides the Nix expressions for the majority of available extensions from Open VSX and VSCode Marketplace. A GitHub Action updates the extensions daily.

== Creating development environments using nix-shell ==

Instead of using configuration.nix to add packages (e.g. Python or NodeJS) for developing code on VSCode, you can instead use nix-shell. This will allow you to seamlessly create development environments with the correct packages for your project, without rebuilding and restarting NixOS. See [~~https://nixos.wiki/wiki/~~Development_environment_with_nix-shell this page] for further instructions in building nix-shell development environments.

See [[Development_environment_with_nix-shell | this page]] for further instructions in building nix-shell development environments.

The extension [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector nix-env-selector] will make switching between different nix-shell environments within VSCode so you can switch between different coding projects easily. It has a guide for setting up nix-shell environments for VSCode.

=== Automatically switch nix shells when switching projects ===

You can do this by using [https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv nix-direnv] and [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mkhl.direnv the VSCode extension direnv] for integration. View the nix-direnv github page linked for a guide on setting it up.

=== Alternative for manually switching shells ===

=== ~~Error after Sign On ===~~

=== Writing login information to the keychain failed ===

~~If you get such an error after sign on in application:~~

~~<pre>~~

Writing login information to the keychain failed ~~with error 'The name org.freedesktop.secret was not provided by any .service files'.~~

~~</pre>~~

~~Try to add the following setting in your system configuration (even if you don't use Gnome as desktop environment):~~

~~{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki>~~

~~# needed for store VS Code auth token~~

~~services.gnome.gnome-keyring.enable~~ = ~~true;~~

~~</nowiki>}}~~

~~''Optional'': add <code>gnome.seahorse</code>~~ to ~~<code>environment.systemPackages</code> to install GUI for GNOME Keyring~~.

If you get an error similar to the following, enable a [[Secret Service]] provider.

~~Don't forget to perform~~ <~~code~~>~~nixos-rebuild switch~~</~~code~~> ~~and reboot the system.~~
