I'm trying to use registerInlineCompletionItemProvider proposed API. I'm following the instructions in https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_58 and here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/tree/main/inline-completions. Both of them ask to copy https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/master/src/vs/vscode.proposed.d.ts to your local directory, but that file doesn't exist. Also when I follow the instructions to install the extension I always get an error because it doesn't exist:

Downloading vscode.proposed.d.ts

          triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
          ^

[UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason "Failed to g./package.json:         "download-api": "vscode-dts dev",
./package.json:         "postdownload-api": "vscode-dts main", 

anyone have ideas how to solve this?

thanks!

You need https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/src/vscode-dts/vscode.proposed.inlineCompletions.d.ts.

The file was split up 13 days ago in a4d426a, tracked in #131165.

Apparently not all docs have been updated.

In response to the question about how to modify the postinstall script for the new proposed api's, I'll post this here since it doesn't fit in a comment. See proposed-api-sample

"scripts": {
    "vscode:prepublish": "npm run compile",
    "compile": "tsc -p ./",
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx",
    "watch": "tsc -watch -p ./",
    "download-api": "vscode-dts dev",
    "postdownload-api": "vscode-dts main",
    "postinstall": "npm run download-api"
},
