Hey guys, I need to deploy VSCode & Jetbrain Snyk extension via Jamf. VScode is in format .vsix and Jetbrain is looking like a simple folder with one Library and .jar files inside this folder.

Have any of you had to deal with such an installation?

Thank you in advance.

I'm not able to edit my post, so .vsix can be skipped.

@MatP This is pretty straightforward in Composer:

  1. Create a folder in /private/var/tmp named SynkSecurityPlugin
  2. Copy the Library and .jar file for the Sync extension into that folder
  3. Use that folder to create a new project in Composer (i.e. drag it to the left sidebar in the Composer window)
  4. Create a postinstall shell script that does the following:
    1. Checks to see if the destination Jetbrains folder already exists, and creates if it does not
    2. Copies the Library and .jar files from /private/var/tmp/SynkSecurityPlugin to the destinations Jetbrains folder (be sure to set the appropriate ownership and file permissions for the files after they're copied
    3. Deletes the /private/var/tmp/SynkSecurityPlugin folder

This does presume you've got some experience with Composer, but if not https://learn.jamf.com/en-US/bundle/composer-user-guide-current/page/Composer_Overview.html is a good place to start.
