Disable Terminal Added by @theia/plugin-ext-vscode

[jstrimpel]

I added @theia/plugin-ext-vscode to my project to enable VS Code extensions. @theia/plugin-ext-vscode and dependencies of @theia/plugin-ext-vscode have a dependency on @theia/terminal, so the terminal is now appearing in my project. I do not want the terminal appearing in my project. How do I entirely disable the terminal functionality?

Hey @jstrimpel,

you can use our contribution filter API to disable the features of the @theia/terminal package.

@msujew Thanks. Should that be removing the "Terminal" menu item as well or do I need to apply another change to remove it? The "Terminal" menu is empty, but I can't seem to make it not render. Below is my filter contribution and my menu contribution. Both are being successfully bound in my ContainerModule. I am able to prevent a CommonMenus item from rendering.

import { FilterContribution, ContributionFilterRegistry, CommandContribution } from '@theia/core/lib/common';
import { injectable } from 'inversify';
import { TerminalFrontendContribution } from '@theia/terminal/lib/browser/terminal-frontend-contribution';
import { TaskFrontendContribution } from '@theia/task/lib/browser/task-frontend-contribution';

@injectable()
export class NowCreatorFilterContribution implements FilterContribution {

  registerContributionFilters(registry: ContributionFilterRegistry): void {
    registry.addFilters([CommandContribution], [
      contrib => !(contrib instanceof TerminalFrontendContribution) && !(contrib instanceof TaskFrontendContribution)
    ]);
  }
}

import { MenuContribution, MenuModelRegistry } from '@theia/core/lib/common';
import { injectable } from 'inversify';
import { TerminalMenus } from '@theia/terminal/lib/browser/terminal-frontend-contribution';

@injectable()
export class NowCreatorMenuContribution implements MenuContribution {

  registerMenus(menus: MenuModelRegistry): void {
    menus.unregisterMenuAction(TerminalMenus.TERMINAL.slice(-1)[0]);
  }
}

Fixed:

import { FilterContribution, ContributionFilterRegistry } from '@theia/core/lib/common';
import { injectable } from 'inversify';
import { TerminalFrontendContribution } from '@theia/terminal/lib/browser/terminal-frontend-contribution';
import { TaskFrontendContribution } from '@theia/task/lib/browser/task-frontend-contribution';

@injectable()
export class NowCreatorFilterContribution implements FilterContribution {

  registerContributionFilters(registry: ContributionFilterRegistry): void {
    registry.addFilters('*', [
      contrib => !(contrib instanceof TerminalFrontendContribution) && !(contrib instanceof TaskFrontendContribution)
    ]);
  }
}
