Anyscale Workspaces VS Code Extension

The Anyscale VS Code extension lets you instantly open and connect to Anyscale Workspaces from the browser, giving you a fully-configured, remote development environment with zero manual setup.

How It Works

1. Start from the Anyscale Web UI Click Open in VS Code desktop on any Anyscale Workspace page.

2. VS Code Opens and Installs the Extension (if not already installed) You'll be prompted to install the Anyscale VS Code extension if it's not already present.

3. Automatic SSH Configuration Once installed, the extension: • Generates or reuses SSH keys as needed. • Adds the remote cluster to your ~/.ssh/config file. • Ensures all required extensions (including itself) are available in the remote VS Code server.

4. Connected and Ready to Code A new VS Code window launches, automatically connected to your Anyscale Workspace using the Remote - SSH extension.

Installation Behavior (Changed in v0.2.35)

Prior to v0.2.35: When you installed this extension locally, it automatically added itself to your VS Code remote.SSH.defaultExtensions setting to ensure automatic installation on remote workspaces.

Starting from v0.2.35: The extension no longer modifies remote.SSH.defaultExtensions. The extension is now installed directly on remote workspaces as needed through other mechanisms.

How to Uninstall the Extension Completely

To fully uninstall the Anyscale extension:

1. For installations prior to v0.2.35: Open your VS Code settings (Cmd/Ctrl + ,) and search for remote.SSH.defaultExtensions. Remove "anyscale.anyscale-workspace" from that list if present. 2. Uninstall the extension via the Extensions tab (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X).

Note: Starting from v0.2.35, the extension no longer modifies remote.SSH.defaultExtensions, so step 1 is only needed for older installations.
