Difficult installation of extension in Cursor IDE

[rj3d]

When I install the Coder extension in the Cursor IDE and I try to run Coder: Login from the command palette, I get an error that the dependency ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh is not found. If I install the extension ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh, I get an error that ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh does not support unofficial VS Code Builds. If I also install the extension jeanp413.open-remote-ssh then the Coder extension works as expected.

This was a confusing process, and I couldn't find it documented anywhere. Ideally, I think it would be great if Coder had either ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh or jeanp413.open-remote-ssh as a required dependency and not only ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh.

Oh weird, I thought Cursor actually used anysphere.open-remote-ssh.

I think we are only able to list one dependency as required though, the VS Code API has no mechanism for specifying equivalent dependencies (this or that), at least, as far as I know?

vscode-coder/package.json

Lines 32 to 34 in 3e5ca51

	"extensionDependencies": [
	"ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh"
	],

Maybe we have to remove the dependency from the package.json and handle it in code somehow instead, in any case some investigation is needed. Another idea is to have a separate extension for Cursor with a different dependency.

Cursor can now install the extensions automatically. Please report if you still face the issue on the latest version of Cursor.
