How do I make my SideWaffle extension (vsix) check for updates?

159 Views Asked by At

I've used SideWaffle to create a VSIX (source here) that contains project templates and scaffolders. However, to update the installed VSIX, I've been uninstalling the previous version and installing the new version manually.

Is there any support for integrating into Visual Studio's built in "Extensions and Updates" UI to handle updates for my VSIX?

I'm not sure if this is independent of SideWaffle or not. Thanks for any help!

You will need to deploy your extension somewhere that Visual Studio knows about. This can be the public Visual Studio Gallery site or a Private Gallery

If you want to go down the Private Gallery route, configure your Visual Studio like so
