- Remove the `prepare` script entirely
- Variables are now populated from the product.json during build. Most
variables are mapped automatically, with some special handling in a
few cases. `build.rs` is now much more self-contained.
- Look for the `product.overrides.json` for vscode developers instead of
looking for a peer `vscode-distro` folder
Fixes#178691
The standalone CLI should detect and fall back to using and
system-installed VS Code instance, rather than trying to download zips
and manage its own VS Code instances.
There are three approaches used for discovery:
- On Windows, we can easily and quickly read the register to find
installed versions based on their app ID.
- On macOS, we initially look in `/Applications` and fall back to the
slow `system_profiler` command to list app .app's if that fails.
- On Linux, we just look in the PATH. I believe all Linux installers
(snap, dep, rpm) automatically add VS Code to the user's PATH.
Failing this, the user can also manually specify their installation dir,
using the command `code version use stable --install-dir /path/to/vscode`.
Fixes#164159
