Description
This PR moves the creation of the
WorkspaceContextoff of the critical path for extension activation. Most of the extension activation logic has been moved into a newInternalSwiftExtensionApiclass that has synchronousactivate()anddeactivate()methods to help avoid future performance issues with activation. Going forward we should keep theactivate()method as slim as possible insrc/extension.ts.Acquiring the
WorkspaceContextis now asynchronous using newwaitForWorkspaceContext()andwithWorkspaceContext()methods. This will be a breaking change for users of the extension API. I've bumped the version to 1.0.0 to indicate this.Issue: #2082
