# August 13 - September 9, 2023 in Darker: VSCode integration challenges and GitHub Action improvements

[akaihola]

This period saw discussions around VSCode integration and GitHub Actions usage. We addressed concerns about Darker's functionality as a formatting provider in VSCode following recent changes to the Python extension (Discussion #516). The community explored potential solutions, including the possibility of developing a separate Darker extension or integrating with the Black extension. We're considering updating our README to provide guidance during this transition period.

On the GitHub Actions front, we encountered issues with the revision option and fetch-depth settings (Discussion #518). Users reported that specifying "origin/master..." instead of "master..." resolved some problems, but challenges persisted with limited fetch depth in large repositories. We also identified a bug where the commit range wasn't correctly computed when using pull_request_target instead of pull_request (Issue #517). These discussions highlight areas for potential improvements in our GitHub Action configuration and documentation.
