systemd, like most 'modern' linux components, has a nice dbus API. This uses
that API to register the tunnel as a service of the calling user.
The dbus dependency is temporarily duplicated, until secret-service 3 is
released, where they update to the latest version (should be a week or two).
For https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cli/issues/367. Next up, macOS,
then it's done :)
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`.
