Using foambubble/foam with onivim2

[jerabaul29]

I would like to use this from onivim2:

https://github.com/foambubble/foam

They only name that they publish a VSC extension, but I am able to install the extension from onivim2. However, it does not seem to work (nothing happens when issuing commands).

Any idea how to get this to work? :)

Hi @jerabaul29 ,

I took this extension for a test run to evaluate the blockers - I saw a few issues:

1. I was confused at first why gd wouldn't let me navigate the links in the foam starter project - it seems there are some dependent extensions that they recommend installing too. I realized I needed the koritna.vscode-markdown-notes extension to navigate between the [[ wiki links ]].

2. The foam extension creates some tree views, which we don't support yet. I logged an issue to track (Extension: Support for tree-views #3126 , related to VSCode Extension Host Integration #1058)

3. The foam extension uses a webview for graph visualization, which we don't support yet: Extension: Support 'webview' functionality #3128

4. As I was trying out the commands, I saw crashes in the extension here: https://github.com/foambubble/foam/blob/585a6d61e18842d5ff32ad22697313f12aed2f26/packages/foam-vscode/src/utils.ts#L181 - looks like it's hitting a bug in our open/show flow.
