VS Code extension development requires Node.js. Our development workflow has been tested with 1.17.9, but newer versions should work. Older versions may break.
You can install a recent copy of Node by any of the following
PATH
PATH
Read about extensions, concepts and guides: Extension Anatomy.
To run the extension:
npm install @vscode/vsce
To test the extension:
npm test
git clean -xdf
[^3] (WARNING: this will delete everything not tracked by git)npm ci
[^1]npm test
npx vsce package --baseContentUrl https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/vscode-plugins/+/refs/heads/main/
[^2][^1]: npm ci
is like npm install
, except that it re-downloads a clean copy of the node_modules
directory using package-lock.json
and errors out if package-lock.json
ii out of sync with package.json
[^2]: npx
runs commands from npm packages without having to globally install them
[^3]: this cleans out any files that are not tracked by git, to ensure we have a clean build, in case we missed anything in our .vscodeignore
