  1. home-manager may be a better fit for configuring the workspace than the current bespoke packages/env variables in dev.nix.

    In addition to just providing support for adding packages to the environment, it includes easy configuration for a number of common software packages. For instance, I needed to enable the nix shell command. With home-manager, I could have set nix.settings.extra-experimental-features = "nix-command flakes repl-flake", but instead I needed to set an environment variable by hand:

    env = {
    NIX_USER_CONF_FILES = pkgs.writeText "nix.conf" ''
    extra-experimental-features = nix-command flakes repl-flake
    '';
    };

    I got lucky in that Nix can be configured from an…

  2. It would be great to have support for Apps Script (.gscript) files in IDX. I'm using it to customize Workspace products like Sheets and Forms.
    The syntax highlighting is the same as for JavaScript, but there's a lack of autocompletion in most IDEs.

  3. It took me a long time to find the dev server output (in Output under IDX). It would be nice if it was easier to find.

  4. I want to connect to IDX from something other than the browser. Ideally, this could be my local VSCode instance or it could be over SSH from a terminal running neovim. I would like the power of a cloud workstation from my favorite environments.

  6. Cypress is a popular UI automation testing tool for web, and I would like to run it within an IDX project!

    This is the error I get when trying to run a Cypress test:

    "Your system is missing the dependency: Xvfb"

    Thanks for this feedback! We do want to provide better support for custom predefined environments, and our Nix extensibility work may get us quite far here. Please try it out if you haven't and let us know if there is more we need to do.

  10. When I try to npm i my project (https://github.com/vicb/flyxc) it would complain about missing make required by lodepng.

    It would be great to add the required deps to the image by default

    I had to install sudo apt install build-essential

  11. If you're working on a Flutter plugin, which. includes native code (eg Kotlin, Swift) then those files are accurately labeled in the navigator on the left, but syntax highlighting for those languages appears not to work

  12. Hi, if I checkout a github repo that is public, but that I own and want to make changes to, I am not prompted for my GitHub credentials and therefore don't have write permissions to the repo. Would be good to have proper GitHub account management included in the experience (not only when you start the project)

  13. Deploying an iOS app to the app store currently requires Xcode to build the IPA file and then the macOS transporter app to drop the IPA file into App Store Connect. It would be great to give developers the ability to publish an iOS app (built with Flutter or another framework) to App Store without needing to drop down to local apps on a mac machine.

  14. Vim mode is essential for me and I wasn't able to find it as an option. If it is present, could it be made more discoverable? If not present, please add!

  15. Hello, Just discovering IDX, very exciting product!
    I just set up a repo that is a monorepo, with /backend with a Nest.js server, and a /frontend with an Angular app.

    Is it possible to:
    - Have both running, port 3000 and 8080, and allow each to communicate with each other?
    - Set up monospace.json and specify working_directory for each project listed?

    For the moment, should the monospace.json file live in the root of the repo, or nested at the root of each project?

  17. Please add a link to the tech docs @ https://developers.google.com/idx in the help menu (somewhere around here-ish https://screenshot.googleplex.com/3ncg4YcHRBRK9K2 maybe?) — thanks so much!

  18. While I can copy/paste a preview URL and have it working on my phone, sometimes that doesn't work - especially if my phone is on a different account than my OS. Or if I'm on an operating system that doesn't support all of this nicely.

    It would be great to have a QR generator where I can preview my Web app or Flutter app directly on my phone with no added friction. It should "just work".

  20. Intergrated terminal lacks functionality\ies of a local terminal. Can we add support for its SSH session? Maybe a documentation on how to do that would be helpful :)
