VS Code extension: try it in real VS Code, then sessions, images, terminals and the Marketplace #20
Description
Why
editors/vscode/ drives incode --acp. Its protocol client, controller and file bridge are tested (54 tests, plus 1 live test against the real binary), but the extension has never been opened in a real VS Code. The webview was only checked by code review.
Where the code is
src/acp.ts: protocol client, novscodeimport.src/controller.ts: one agent process and session per window.src/chatView.ts: the webview and its CSP.src/fsBridge.ts: file reads and writes throughWorkspaceEdit.src/extension.ts: commands and settings.media/chat.js,media/markdown.js: the page is built withcreateElement/textContentonly, neverinnerHTML.- Tests:
test/*.test.ts, with a fake agent intest/fixtures/fake-agent.js.
Steps (local)
cargo build --release # incode on PATH, or set incode.path
cd editors/vscode && npm install && npm run compile && npm test
INCODE_BIN=$PWD/../../target/release/incode npm test # also runs the live test
npm run package # builds incode-0.1.0.vsix (needs network the first time)
code --install-extension incode-0.1.0.vsixIn VS Code: Incode: Open Chat.
- Send a prompt and watch the streamed text, tool calls and plan.
- Answer a permission card.
- Press Stop.
- Switch mode, role and agent.
- Use
Incode: Send Selection. - Use a slash command from the completion list.
To build
- Fix anything found in real use (layout, theming, focus, long outputs).
- Session list and reopening a session (
session/list,session/load; incode supports both). - Image prompts (incode advertises
promptCapabilities.image). - Terminals:
terminal/*client requests are answered "method not found" today. -
sendSelectiononly fills the input box; consider an option to send at once. - Publish: a publisher account on the VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX,
vsce publish, and a CI job that packages on tags.
Note: incode itself never sends fs/read_text_file or fs/write_text_file today. The extension supports them; it's tested only against the fake agent.

Merge pull request #54 from incordai/feat/vscode-sessions-images
blockmandev commentedon Oct 22, 2026
Three code items done in #54 (merged):
incode: Open Session…, plus a title-bar button shown when the agent offerssession/listandsession/load. It lists the workspace's sessions and reopens the pick with its history.imageblocks. The bounds are incode's own, and the extension checks the bytes again, whatever the page did.incode.sendSelectionImmediately: Send Selection sends at once.An independent review then found six bugs (a lost draft on a refused send, races in New Session, restart and a failed load, a stray "cancelled" turn, a double send at startup). All are fixed in the same PR, each with a test and a deliberately broken control. Tests: 91 against the fake agent, 93 with the live tests against a real

terminal/*): intentionally not built. incode never sends those requests (see #21).Left:

Solved in #54: reopening sessions, image prompts, and Send Selection sending at once, with 91 fake-agent and 93 live tests. Terminals aren't needed, because incode never sends
terminal/*requests. Trying it in real VS Code, and Marketplace publishing, moved to #56.
