feat(local-testing): one-command launcher for a pinned IDE + dbt Power User + dbt-core

[dev-punia-altimate]

What

Local tooling to reproduce a specific customer environment — an exact VS Code / code-server version, dbt Power User version, and dbt-core version — without installing anything on your machine. Sibling to the CI install/update matrix (PR #1987); this is the local counterpart.

Docker (browser VS Code) — docker-setup/launch-pinned.sh

bash docker-setup/launch-pinned.sh --extension 0.61.5 --dbt 1.10.18
# optional: --code-server <tag> to pin the IDE version, --port <n>

Spins up code-server in a throwaway container: installs the published extension from OpenVSX, pins dbt-core, copies the sample dbt projects in (fixing ownership + the require-dbt-version guard so they build under the pinned dbt), and prints a ready URL. Each run is a clean install (docker rm -f → fresh container → fresh installs). Stop with docker rm -f dbt-pu-demo.

Native (no Docker) — test-matrix/version-install.mjs

node test-matrix/version-install.mjs --vscode 1.117.0 --extension 0.61.5 --dbt 1.10.18

Downloads the exact VS Code build via @vscode/test-electron and installs a pinned extension into isolated temp dirs (+ optional pinned dbt-core venv). Your installed editor/extensions/settings are never touched.

How to use

Check out this branch and run one of the commands above. You only need Docker + this repo cloned — the IDE, extension, dbt, and the jaffle-shop project all live in the container.

Also

• docker-setup/Dockerfile: adds a CS_TAG build arg to pin the code-server version (default latest, backward-compatible with deploy.sh / vsix-smoke.sh).

Verified

extension 0.61.5 + dbt-core 1.10.18 → jaffle-shop dbt build PASS=28, ERROR=0; code-server serving on :3001.

VSIX Install + Update Matrix — target 0.61.6 (pr-build) (pull_request)

✅ All green · 27/27 cells passed

Legend: ✅ pass · ❌ blocking failure (fails the release gate) · ⚠️ non-blocking issue (forks/Insiders — informational) · ⏭️ skipped · — not run. Percentages are the share of the live user base on that version×OS.

Install matrix (fresh install of target)

Scenario: clean install of the latest published build (no prior version).

Runtime	linux	windows	macos
vscode	✅	✅	✅
vscode-insiders	✅	—	—
cursor	✅	—	—
windsurf	✅	—	—
kiro	✅	—	—
code-server	✅	—	—

Users on target 0.61.6 (share of running base): linux 7.9% · windows 12.7% · macos 16.2%.

Update matrix — upgrade to latest

Existing install on an older version is updated directly to latest (VS Code upgrades in one hop — it does not step through intermediate versions). Each cell: result + share of the live user base on that version×OS = who a broken upgrade hits.

vscode — upgrade from each version → latest

from \ OS	linux	windows	macos
0.61.5	✅ 5.5%	✅ 10.3%	✅ 13.3%
0.61.4	✅ 2.1%	✅ 4.1%	✅ 4.8%
0.61.3	✅ 1.0%	✅ 1.6%	✅ 1.8%
0.61.2	✅ 1.5%	✅ 2.7%	✅ 2.9%
0.60.7	✅ 0.3%	✅ 0.6%	✅ 0.8%

Forks & code-server — upgrade from latest-minus-one → latest

Runtime	OS	From	Result	Users on that version×OS
cursor	linux	0.61.5	✅	5.5%
windsurf	linux	0.61.5	✅	5.5%
kiro	linux	0.61.5	✅	5.5%
