Is there a way to use Xcodes automated UI-Testing features to automate a test in a Share-Extension. We do have a few tests in our app running, but we were not able to break out of our app and use e.g. the Photos.app to share some files with our app.
So: is there a way to use UI-Tests to leave the app, share some files from another app and return to the app afterwards?

I have before worked with Python extensions and configured PIP to point to our artifactory in my company, now I would like to do the same with VS Code.
I would like to be able to change the path of where VS Code downloads its extensions, to our own artifactory.
We want to control what users have which extensions, and don't want them to be able to download freely.
Can anyone please help me to which file or configuration I can make to point it to another site?
This is not possible at the moment. There is already an issue concerning this feature https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/21839 .
You can however disable the Gallery as mentioned by Thally by removing the "extensionsGallery" part from VSCode\resources\app\product.json.
And offer the vsix you want your users to have via any differnt path for selfservice or even just preinstall them under %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions.
VSIX can be downloaded from the store for offline use as Mentioned by t3chb0t in his answer to how-to-install-vscode-extensions-offline
If you are still running into this, an updated answer is to use https://github.com/LOLINTERNETZ/vscodeoffline
So far it has worked well for us in a completely offline environment. The only gotcha that we have run into is that some extensions attempt to reach out and download additional things from github or elsewhere when first run which does not work if you are offline like in my situation. However, if you are online and simply want to control which extensions are available, I think this project will do the trick for you.
Anyway, by adding a product.json file to their user directory or setting env vars, your coworkers will be able to change the marketplace again: https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/pull/674
I am using google web components from the following page but it seems that it has a lot of error. A lot of file is not found. Note: I am using google sign in and google analytics.

How to resolve the issue without downloading and replace the the missing file path one by one?
You approach is completely wrong.
TL;DR One can not simply refer the url for the file and hope that relative paths in it are resolved automagically. The workflow is a way more complicated.
You should create an application (the easiest way is to use Yeoman’s generator for that). Than you should explicitly specify, which components you want to use with bower:
bower install google-calendar --save
... etc
That would install the components locally (--save is to update your bower.json).
Then you probably would vulcanize everything (thanks yeoman generator, grunt script comes with all the tasks prepared.) Your project is now ready to deploy.
Hope it helps.
You should be able to install the missing dependency components the same way you got your Google Web Component. Whether that is via download or bower or whatever, just make sure the relative paths line up. Even if you create a build task or generator you will still need the components dependencies correctly referenced.
I am currently beginning a project where we want to build an Interactive Whiteboard (educational activities) and deploy via CD-ROM. I want to build the project in HTML5 for it's interactivity and then somehow compile it to both .exe. and .dmg so when the CD-ROM is inserted it autoplays the 'Game'.
How is this possible? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I already made a project using pure C (WinAPI) on github that can pack HTML files into single EXE using resources.
http://github.com/dns/WinAPI-Embed-Browser/releases
Use: res://programname.exe/test.html as path to access html files from your EXE file.
From here you also can hide the window border & just showing the content of your HTML app, or even running on fullscreen. This is very useful if you want to make interactive CD-ROM.
On Mac, you can use Delphi/Lazarus TWebBrowser control to load html files. However I don't know if mac program can access files from resource or not.
HTML 5 is a browser technology, so I think as long as the pc you are installing on has the latest browsers, installing your app should work fine.
Can you tell us why you want it as a CD-ROM based installation, where as you can easily host it online?
You may not need any .exe wrapping. Here is an approach.
Important: your autorun will be often disabled, [not so] quietly. Provide some instructions for running your application manually.
So:
Google for running a portable version of Firefox or Chrome from a CD. Have the browser prepared. Put it in a [sub]directory representing your CD.
Put your content there.
Create a .cmd file to invoke the browser with a command like,
FirefoxPortable.exe index.html
Create autorun.inf (details googlable) to call the above batch file.
Make a CD image from that directory. There are lots of CD burning applications that can do that.
Test.
Sometimes I need to write a small program just to represent some data in a chart, or similar stuff. I have been wanting to do this kind of things through the browser, with HTML5. I think it would be nice to use its canvas to create a nice UI for simple apps.
I have read some articles related to offline applications with HTML5, but they focus on downloading all the data you need and save it to the cache to use it offline later. You even need to set up an Apache server (or similar) to create your app.
I don't need my app to be online, just in my computer. I just want to create a simple application, nothing to do with internet at all.
How can I do this? Is it even possible or worthy? Is there any "Hello world!" tutorial about this around there?
Something like Mozilla Prism would be good for displaying the content as an application.
There's no need to have a web server like Apache for just displaying HTML5/Javascript in a browser. You can just have it all in a folder on your desktop and then load it in the browser with the file:// protocol.
For example file://C:/Documents and Settings/YourUser/Desktop/YourApp/index.html would open an HTML file in a folder called YourApp on your user's desktop.
If you ever find you need to read static HTML+Javascript files locally then I'd recommend using this python command in the console:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
It launches a simple HTTP server (who'd of guessed) that serves files from the current working directory. Effectively, it's the same as launching an apache webserver, putting some static assets in /var/www/... etc. etc.
You could also just browse to the assets at file:///some/folder; however, most browsers will prevent javascript from using AJAX when files are loaded in that way, which will manifest as a bunch of bugs when you go to load it.
I'm writing what is essentially a browser in Adobe AIR (ActionScript, not AJAX). A great bit of functionality to implement would be protocol handling. iTunes, for instance, handles itms protocols; when your friend sends you a link beginning with "itms://", it's going to launch iTunes as long as it's installed. Is there a way to write an AIR app (requiring AIR 2 would be fine) that can be the "handler" for a protocol in this way?
There is no way, programatically speaking, to specifically handle a particular protocol. However, there is InvokeEvent. InvokeEvent will be fired when the application is "invoked", either when it's explictly launched or if an associated file or URL is activated.
The process of associating your app with a particular file type or protocol scheme is separate and application-dependant. In iOS, for example, you would need to specify the protocol in Info.plist under CFBundleURLTypes/CFBundleURLSchemes.
Yes. You can use the URLLoader class to download data in binary form (URLLoader.BINARY) and then parse this as appropriate. See this CS3 documentation on working with external data.

I'm not sure exactly how it works and I don't see a way to download the app, so I can't even test it, but maybe it will help...
Check out this page. I am trying to find out the same thing, but I haven't found any solution to do it with just Air yet. Seems like you might need a custom installer to setup the correct registry entries, and a proxy application to "wash" the input to a correct format that then can start your application with the correct command line parameters. Hope this can be of any assistance.
