Using the VSCode Extension Offline

[bwaters]

I need to do some ESP32 development in our lab which does not have internet connectivity. I was able to install and configure the VSCode extension by temporarily granting internet connectivity to the server. However after removing internet connectivity it does not appear that I can use the extension because it needs to connect to the internet when activating.

Is there a way to configure the VSCode extension so that it does not require internet connectivity to use?

You could either configure the extension manually by having everything in the offline computer already.

Or you could use a previously configured Docker container or WSL environment as shown in the tutorial here:
