Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code

The VSCode extension provides code snippets and syntax highlighting.

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.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": ["$goboscript"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "label": "Build .sb3"
    }
  ]
}

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