Support exact versions for vscode plugins

[sobolevn]

Hi! Thanks a lot for supporting vscode in Brewfile, this is really helpful.

Right now brew dumps all plguins without their versions, but sometimes vscode plugins require a specific version due to some changes in them.

vscode already support installing specific versions of plugins and listing the version.

Right now I have to skip vscode in Brewfile and keep a separate file with code --install-extension 'ext@version' calls. Which is not very convenient :(

My proposal is:

• Let's add a CLI flag for it: something like --vscode-with-versions (or HOMEBREW_BUNDLE_VSCODE_VERSION=true env var)
• Add --show-versions here: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-bundle/blob/743f2aad47601c1e162f0ff05219d5a0bb15e0ad/lib/bundle/vscode_extension_dumper.rb#L13C10-L13C32 if the flag is set

It should just work after that:

--install-extension <ext-id | path>   Installs or updates an extension. The argument is
                                      either an extension id or a path to a VSIX. The
                                      identifier of an extension is
                                      '${publisher}.${name}'. Use '--force' argument to
                                      update to latest version. To install a specific
                                      version provide '@${version}'. For example:
                                      '[email protected]'.

What do others think?

this goes against Homebrew and homebrew/bundle in general so very unlikely and not something I can see being included. see the note in the README on versions for more details.

As a workaround you can just do that manually:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -e

# Brewfile does not support dumping exact versions by default.
# So, here are some exact versions of plugins that I use
# (when I care about the version).
sd -s 'vscode "teabyii.ayu"' 'vscode "[email protected]"' Brewfile

echo 'Brewfile updated'

This can be added to pre-commit hooks as well.
Works like a charm :)
