yamlValidation contribution point

[kizivat]

My primary goal is that my own VS code extension validates certain YAML files using a schema.

Firstly I tried to set up a language client using yaml-language-server and using defaultConfiguration contribution point to set default value yaml.schemas. What I realized was that the user of my extension would need to have the file with the schema definition somehow distributed to them so I dropped this approach for now.

Then, I found out about yamlValidation contribution point. I'm not sure how this should be used though. Is it possible to use without asking users to install your extension (meaning redhat.vscode-yaml)?

However, for now I tried to set up the contribution point,

"contributes": {
  "yamlValidation": [
    {
      "fileMatch":"**/myPattern/**/*.{yml,yaml}",
      "url": "./my-schema.json"
    }
  ]

put my-schema.json into the root of the extension, launched the extension… But it's not working. In this case, I have had redhat.vscode-yaml installed in the instance of VS Code I tested it in.

I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Are you including redhat.vscode-yaml on the extensionDependencies section of the extension manifest this should cause the vscode-yaml to be installed automatically.
