Hey,

I have codium install (FLOSS version of vscode, striped of all telemetry & stuff).

I can't manage to make ollama launch vscode detect it and run with it? How is the detection done? How can I make it work with codium?

Why not propose a ollama launch codium instead/in addition to ollama launch vscode?

ThaNks in advance

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by configuring ollama to recognize codium as a valid alternative to vscode.

Guidance

  • Investigate how ollama detects vscode to understand the requirements for detection, such as specific executable names or paths.
  • Consider modifying the ollama configuration to include codium as a recognized editor, potentially by adding it to a list of supported editors or by creating an alias for vscode.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of proposing a ollama launch codium command as an additional feature, which could simplify the process for users with codium installed.
  • Check if codium is installed in a standard location or if its executable has a different name than expected by ollama, which could affect detection.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of ollama and its detection mechanism, which are not provided in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the ollama configuration to recognize codium as a valid editor, as this approach does not require changing the ollama codebase or waiting for an update.
