I want to use this right now, but two issues:
- Bash script from Internet requiring sudo, no way
- VSCode plugin? I don't use VSCode. I'm not switching from Zed (literally built in Rust for Rust development)
Help me out, what can I do to try this?
- mdaniel 1y agoDepending on where your "Internet" boundary starts, you can clone the repo and run its install.sh although I think it's for really lazy people since it just downloads the GitHub release artifact anyway https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust/blob/1.81.0/install.sh#L62 https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust/blob/1.81.0/instal... I don't see that VSCode is required, they have a section dedicated to CLI usage https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust#firedbg-command-line-interface https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust#firedbg-command-li... and even the "firedbg open" seems to just be a convenience method for file globbing https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust/blob/1.81.0/command/src/main.rs#L374-L384 https://github.com/SeaQL/FireDBG.for.Rust/blob/1.81.0/comman... I'm a little with you that it is sus that they don't seem to have any .ts nor package.json file in that repo which would allow one to (a) see what the extension does (b) build the .vsix themselves

- leoh 1y agoThey're just trying to offer an easy way to try things out and unsafe code from Firefox would be insanely harmful for their brand. Of course, if you take a moment to merely download the bash script and inspect it. It's truly not dissimilar from downloading a repository from GitHub and building it. In general, certainly, yes, you don't want to run arbitrary programs.
