Release Conda Code

Conda Code publishes the same VSIX to the Visual Studio Marketplace and an immutable GitHub Release through a tag-gated GitHub Actions workflow.

Publish a release

1. Update package.json and package-lock.json to the new version.

2. Add the release to CHANGELOG.md.

3. Commit the release preparation and wait for the main checks and documentation workflows to pass.

4. Create and push a tag that exactly matches package.json:

   git tag -s 0.1.0 -m "Conda Code 0.1.0"
   git push origin 0.1.0
   

The release workflow then:

1. checks that the tag and package version match

2. runs formatting, type checking, linting, and tests

3. builds and attests one versioned VSIX

4. creates a draft GitHub Release and uploads the VSIX

5. publishes that exact VSIX to the Visual Studio Marketplace

6. publishes the GitHub Release only after the Marketplace succeeds

Do not push a release tag until Marketplace publishing access has been verified.

If publishing is interrupted, use Re-run failed jobs in GitHub Actions. The workflow reuses the uploaded VSIX and treats an already-published Marketplace version as successful.
