[plug-in] OutputChannel.show does not show

[akosyakov]

Reproducible with grunt VS Code extension when grunt is not installed.

[benoitf]

linking #4155

[wangshen-sap]

seems reproduced in latest version, please check it@akosyakov

[akosyakov]

@wangshen-sap Could you file a new issue with steps to reproduce please?

[wangshen-sap]

the code like this

if (!outputPanel) {
outputPanel = vscode.window.createOutputChannel("mck");
}
outputPanel.show();
outputPanel.appendLine(message);
}

mck output channel is not shown after calling this, you need select "mck" from dropdown list, then the "mck" outputchannel will show @akosyakov

[wangshen-sap]

the version should be 0.16.1

[akosyakov]

It would help if someone prepares a VS Code extension and verify #4214 (comment)

Closing. The API works well for me, and was confirmed with output-show-0.0.1.vsix.zip.

export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
    const channel = vscode.window.createOutputChannel('test');
    let disposable = vscode.commands.registerCommand('output-show.show', () => {
        channel.show();
        channel.appendLine('test line.');
    });
    context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
}
