Who/where auto-publishes cdt-gdb-vscode?

[jonahgraham]

Who or where does the auto-publishing of https://open-vsx.org/extension/eclipse-cdt/cdt-gdb-vscode happen?

The project has done some significant refactoring of the extension and I want to understand how it goes from the source in GitHub to the extension on open-vsx.

I'm not aware of any auto-publishing for that extension, there aren't any obvious CI tasks.

For reference, other extensions use org secrets and github actions to undertake this:

https://github.com/eclipse-cdt-cloud/vscode-memory-inspector/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L50

https://github.com/eclipse-cdt-cloud/vscode-websocket-adapter/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L52

Very weird - someone/somewhere does publish it because if I tag the repo the next day that tagged version gets published. I would be happy to change to do it explicitly.

This is strange. I can see its published to open-vsx, but not the vscode marketplace.

As it is published under the eclipse-cdt namespace, I assume it needs to use the same key as the other extensions we have there.

Very weird indeed. I can't recall any job that publishes cdt-gdb-vscode to OpenVSX.

There's an auto-publishing job that runs nightly from https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/actions. cdt-gdb-vscode is included in the list of extensions that get auto-published: https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions/blob/d2bd58ab8b7b65aeef97a10ac349a84606061086/extensions.json#L274.

Thanks @kineticsquid - I now know what is happening and the first step in transitioning off the auto-publishing.

For my record it was added in EclipseFdn/publish-extensions#285
