Development Cycle

Angular GUI Part

The gui directory holds a self-contained Angular application - created with the Angular CLI. It is encouraged to begin developing the webview UI as a separate Angular application by running the npm run start:gui command and then editing the code in the gui\src directory.

The application can than be run in a Chrome or Edge instance by running either the Debug GUI (Chrome)or Debug GUI (Edge) launch configuration:

  • Bring up the Run and Debug activity via the Run and Debug icon in the Acivity Bar. Or use the shortcut Crl+Shift+D (See the Debugging VSCode Guide)
  • Select Run and Debug or Run and Debug in the Launch Configurations dropdown menu
  • Press the Start Debugging button or F5 key.

The Run and Debug view can then be used to debug the application.

Alternative:

To run in a browser environment inside VSCode:

  • Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Run Simple Browser: Show
  • Fill in http://localhost:4200/

To debug, use the Developer Tools

  • Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
  • Run Developer: Open Webview Developer Tools

Extension Part

  • Bring up the Run and Debug activity via the Run and Debug icon in the Acivity Bar or use the shortcut Crl+Shift+D
  • Select Run Extension in the Launch Configurations dropdown menu
  • Press the Start Debugging button or F5 key.

This will compile the extension and open a new Extension Development Host window in which the functionality of the extension can be tested and debugged.

See Commands for available commands.
