Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code

The VSCode extension provides code snippets, syntax highlighting and diagnostics.

Install from VSCode Marketplace

Search goboscript in the Extensions tab, or go to the VSCode Marketplace to install it.

Install from source

You will need npm installed.

# Inside the root of the goboscript git repository:
cd editors/code
npm install
npm run package

This will output a goboscript-x.y.z.vsix file in the editors/code directory. You can install it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P and typing Extensions: Install from VSIX....

Configure Build Task

You can configure the goboscript build task to get diagnostics in vscode.

Add to .vscode/tasks.json:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "goboscript-build",
      "problemMatcher": ["$rustc"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "presentation": {
        "clear": true,
        "reveal": "never"
      },
      "label": "Build .sb3"
    }
  ]
}

Either press Ctrl+Shift+B or run Tasks: Run Task and select Build .sb3.
