Getting started - primary walkthrough not opening

[lszomoru]

Testing #119543

• Start VS Code and have "Getting Started" editor opened
• Set "workbench.welcomePage.experimental.extensionContributions": "open"
• Have another file opened (ex: settings.json) which is the focused tab.
• Install the md-to-html extension.

Expected: Primary walkthrough should open. (this works as expected is the "Getting Started" editor is not opened)
Actual: Item is added under the "Getting Started" section but walkthrough is not opening.

Verify: "workbench.welcomePage.experimental.extensionContributions" is now boolean, the only (exposed) behaviour is when installing an extensions with a "primary": true, walkthrough:

• If there are any getting started pages which are not opened to any walkthrough (the index page), make one of them visible, and set it to show the newly added walkthrough
• Otherwise, open a new getting started page to this walkthrough

The main thing is that there should be a getting started page active, showing the walkthrough, and that no getting started page which had been showing a different walkthrough should be overwritten (though it may become hidden).

For verification purposes, is "workbench.welcomePage.experimental.extensionContributions" now the workbench.welcomePage.experimental.startEntryContributions boolean? If so, everything looks good!

[JacksonKearl]

Yep, thanks!

How do I get to that page to check that the workbench is true?

@MrSkittles1 I do not understand the question. You can open the page under question with Help: Getting Started in Stable or Help: Welcome in Insiders
