Missing Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/base/index.js

[haberdashPI]

When calling the following example code from the documentation:

const workbench = await browser.getWorkbench()
await browser.executeWorkbench((vscode, param1, param2) => {
    vscode.window.showInformationMessage(`I am an ${param1} ${param2}!`)
}, 'API', 'call')

const notifs = await workbench.getNotifications()
console.log(await notifs[0].getMessage()) 

I get an error about [prefix]Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/base/index.js file missing,

[0-0] 2024-06-16T20:14:58.885Z INFO chromedriver: [FAKE VSCode Binary] STDERR: TypeError: Failed to fetch dynamically imported module: vscode-file://vscode-app/Users/davidlittle/Documents/tools/vscode-master-key/.wdio-vscode-service/vscode-darwin-arm64-1.86.2/Visual%20Studio%20Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/base/index.js

Inspecting this folder, I see no such file. I tried downloading versions 1.86 - 1.90 of vscode and encountered the same error for each.

Is this an expected error? Is this some issue with my setup?

@haberdashPI this is definitely not expected, not sure how this is actually related to this package but it certainly may. Any investigations and help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

Thank you @christian-bromann; I'm happy to try to do some digging myself. About the index.js file that executeWorkbench is looking for: I had assumed this was something that was straightforwardly being accessed in this repository to access the VSCode API, but from what you're saying that doesn't sound right anymore.

Is the place to get started to review the code of executeWorkbench? Anything else in this repository (or elsewhere) I should be looking to better understand what executeWorkbench is doing and why it would be looking for a file that doesn't exist within the VSCode app?

Update: this seems to be independent of calling executeWorkbench: I get a similar error when calling executeCommand, so I am assuming this is some issue with my setup. I will try to make a MWE starting from scratch with a new project rather than trying to get this working on my existing VSCode extension I am trying to develop tests for.

async function specForBindings(text: string) {
    let workbench = await browser.getWorkbench();
    let config = path.join(tempdir, 'config.toml');
    fs.writeFileSync(config, text);
    console.log("[USER]: executing keybinding activation command");
    let input = await workbench.executeCommand('Master Key: Activate Keybindings');
    console.log("[USER]: requesting file selector");
    await input.setText('File...');
    await input.confirm();
    console.log("[USER]: specifying config file as input");
    await input.setText(config);
    await input.confirm();
}

After a little bit more investigation, it appears that the main issue here is that when creating a web extension, one has to set browser to an actual browser in in wdio.conf.ts. When I switched from using 'vscode' to 'chrome' a basic test now works. I will try to extract this into a small MWE repo with a hello world program as time allows.
