Ideas as what to do as a first test for Theia-extensions.
first Idea

• Rust multi crate project dependency checker to check if same dependencies in all creates have the same version. that would entail:
  • going through the workspace to find all catgo.toml files.
  • either parse them or call cargo tree and parse the result
  • check for duplicate dependencies and compare their versions

Hi @kampf0keks! That sounds like a useful extension, but it could be a lot of work to do in the backend. I think it's not necessary to fully implement that backend part, but feel free to try it.

You could use the JSON-RPC channel with automatic service proxies to communicate between frontend and backend:
https://theia-ide.org/docs/json_rpc/

This way you can add UI elements (command, menu item etc.) that call a backend service.

BTW feel free to reach out to the Theia Community for any questions.

after lots of fun struggling with Theia and finding out debugging makes the backend not work on windosw (both browser and electron) i got the first basic functionality working. I can call the Backend it reads and parses all toml files from a directory. Of course to get it actually running there would be alot more work. But for a first proof of concept i hope thats enough? If not i can put in more time tomorrow
