Development

A guide of developing vscode-clangd extension.

Requirements

  • VS Code
  • node.js and npm

Building and running (command line)

cd vscode-clangd
npm install
npm run compile  # it runs in watch mode, you can hit ctrl-c.
code --extensionDevelopmentPath=$PWD

Building, running, and debugging (VSCode)

  • cd vscode-clangd
npm install
code .
  • with the vscode-clangd directory open in VSCode, select Run => Run Without Debugging or Run => Start Debugging

VSCode will recompile the sources for you before launching. If you change dependencies in package.json, you should run npm install.

Editing and typechecking

npm run compile does not actually typecheck the TypeScript code! (It stripts type annotations and bundles it, using esbuild). You can see diagnostics with npm run check-ts.

Using a Typescript-aware editor will show you diagnostics, provide go-to-definition etc. VSCode works well, or any LSP-capable editor can use typescript-language-server.

Contributing

Please follow the existing code style when contributing to the extension, we recommend to run npm run format before sending a patch.

Publish to Marketplace

To create a new release, create a commit that:

  • increases the version number in package.json
  • updates CHANGELOG.md to cover changes since the last release

Our CI will recognize the commit and publish new versions to the VSCode Marketplace and the alternative OpenVSX registry.
