erlang README

This repository provides a VSCode extension that interfaces with the Erlang language server at https://github.com/erlang/sourcer.

To begin with, this is meant to be a testbed for the server and there will be few (if any) other features (like syntax highlighting or executing code). For these, we recommend the pgourlain.erlang extension, that seems to have most functionality at this moment.

Features

Describe specific features of your extension including screenshots of your extension in action. Image paths are relative to this README file.

For example if there is an image subfolder under your extension project workspace:


Tip: Many popular extensions utilize animations. This is an excellent way to show off your extension! We recommend short, focused animations that are easy to follow.

Requirements

An Erlang VM 20+ must be installed and accessible on $PATH or at erlang.erlangPath for the server to run.

Build

The build scripts assume that the sourcer repository containing the language server is cloned in a sibling directory of this projects'.

In order to produce a .vsix file that can be installed, execute vsce package. This will compile and package the language server, copy it here and archive everything.

For development, use vscode and in a terminal run npm install, then ./install_server, then press F5 to launch a vscode instance that includes the current extension.

Extension Settings

Include if your extension adds any VS Code settings through the contributes.configuration extension point.

For example:

This extension contributes the following settings:

• myExtension.enable: enable/disable this extension
• myExtension.thing: set to blah to do something

Known Issues

Calling out known issues can help limit users opening duplicate issues against your extension.
