Summary

  • Fix VS Code extension publishing to OpenVSX (and VS Code Marketplace) which has been broken since the Yarn 4 upgrade
  • Add --no-dependencies to all vsce and ovsx commands, bypassing the incompatible yarn list --prod --json call that Yarn 4 removed
  • Update vscode-graphql-syntax's stale ovsx version and broken publish command

This attempts to fix #4178, will validate and close after a successful publish.

Some additional context

@vscode/vsce only supports Yarn >=1 <2. When packaging an extension, it shells out to yarn list --prod --json to discover runtime dependencies. This doesn't exist in Yarn Berry/v4.

The graphql repo upgraded to Yarn 4 in June 2025, which seems to have broken all extension packaging. The root release script wraps wsrun release in || true (package.json:55), so these failures are silently swallowed and the workflow reports success. We also don't have logs from GH actions that long ago, so we're flying blind as far as past runs go.

There was a prior attempt to fix publishing in #3883 (which removed || true), but the underlying packaging failure caused the release workflow to break, leading to a rollback in #3900. There are a couple errors still visible that align with the yarn failures I suspect.

Why --no-dependencies?

--no-dependencies tells vsce/ovsx to skip dependency discovery entirely. This is safe because all three extensions bundle their deps:

  • vscode-graphql: esbuild bundles all deps into out/extension.js (esbuild.js:14: bundle: true)
  • vscode-graphql-execution: same esbuild bundling (esbuild.js:10: bundle: true)
  • vscode-graphql-syntax: ships only grammar JSON files, no runtime code or dependencies

This is the same approach recommended in microsoft/vscode-vsce#421 for projects using non-supported package managers.

Changes

All three extensions (vscode-graphql, vscode-graphql-execution, vscode-graphql-syntax):

  • Added --no-dependencies to vsce:package, vsce:publish, and open-vsx:publish scripts

vscode-graphql-syntax only:

  • Updated ovsx from ^0.3.0 to 0.8.3 (matching the other two extensions)
  • Fixed open-vsx:publish command — was ovsx publish --yarn -i . --pat $OVSX_PAT which incorrectly passes . (a directory) to --packagePath (expects .vsix files)

vscode-graphql and vscode-graphql-execution:

  • Simplified open-vsx:publish — removed the $(ls -1 *.vsix | sort -V | tail -n 1) glob since ovsx publish (with no positional arg) packages from the working directory directly

Test Plan

  1. From packages/vscode-graphql, run npx @vscode/vsce package --yarn --no-dependencies — should produce a .vsix file successfully
  2. Repeat for packages/vscode-graphql-execution (run yarn compile first)
  3. Repeat for packages/vscode-graphql-syntax
  4. Verify the full release flow works in CI once merged (the || true in the root release script means a failure won't block other publishes, but check the workflow logs to confirm extension publishing succeeds)

vsce only supports Yarn >=1 <2 and shells out to `yarn list --prod
--json` when packaging extensions. This command doesn't exist in Yarn 4,
breaking all extension publishing since the Yarn 4 upgrade.

All three extensions are fully bundled (esbuild) or have no runtime
deps (syntax), so --no-dependencies is safe.

Also fixes vscode-graphql-syntax's stale ovsx version (^0.3.0 -> 0.8.3)
and broken open-vsx:publish command that passed a directory to
--packagePath (which expects .vsix files).

Thanks [@trevor-scheer](https://github.com/trevor-scheer)! - Fix schema
prop to skip introspection when IntrospectionQuery data is provided

Previously, passing an `IntrospectionQuery` result as the `schema` prop
would still trigger a network introspection request. The
`shouldIntrospect` check only recognized `GraphQLSchema` instances (via
`isSchema`), not raw introspection data. Now, when an
`IntrospectionQuery` is passed, a schema is built from it directly using
`buildClientSchema` and introspection is skipped.

[`6f5d5d2`](6f5d5d2)
Thanks [@trevor-scheer](https://github.com/trevor-scheer)! - Fix
degraded type declarations in published packages

Both packages import from `@graphiql/react` at build time but only
declared it as a peer dependency. Yarn workspaces topologically orders
builds via `dependencies`/`devDependencies`, not `peerDependencies`, so
on a clean checkout these plugins built before `@graphiql/react` had
emitted its `dist/*.d.ts`. `vite-plugin-dts` then ran `tsc` against
unresolved `@graphiql/react` imports, fell back to `any` for any return
type that flowed through `useGraphiQL`, and published `.d.ts` artifacts
where hooks like `useDocExplorer` and `useDocExplorerActions` resolved
to `() => any` instead of their real shapes.

Adding `@graphiql/react` as a `devDependency` matches the pattern
already in `@graphiql/plugin-explorer` and
`@graphiql/plugin-code-exporter` and lets the build run in topological
order.

[`ca83879`](ca83879)
Thanks [@trevor-scheer](https://github.com/trevor-scheer)! - Bump
required TypeScript runtime dependency from `^5.3.3` to `^5.8.0`. This
is preparatory work for adopting the TypeScript Native Preview (tsgo)
compiler in a follow-up change, which tracks TypeScript 5.8 semantics.
In practice `^5.3.3` already resolved to TS 5.8+ for most consumers; the
new floor only affects consumers who pin TypeScript to 5.3–5.7 via
resolutions or overrides.

[`4bb7909`](4bb7909)
Thanks [@trevor-scheer](https://github.com/trevor-scheer)! - Fix hover
crashing on the first line of a query

`GraphQLWorker.doHover` was passing 0-indexed positions to `getRange`,
which expects a 1-indexed `SourceLocation` (per the GraphQL spec). On
the first line this caused `Expected Parser stream to be available` to
be logged and hover to return `null`. On other lines it returned the
range of the previous line's last token rather than the token under the
cursor. Use `getTokenAtPosition` to compute the actual token range
instead.

[This PR](vuejs/language-tools#5856) broke
tooling by changing the vue grammar scope from `source.vue` to
`text.html.vue`. This adds `text.html.vue` as an additional injection
target for GraphQL syntax highlighting so that it works in both cases.
