Development

Extension

You can test and debug your changes by selecting View > Run and choosing Launch Extension from the dropdown menu. This will load a new VSCode window instance with the changes loaded in.

If this extension needs to be tested against a locally built version of Please:

• Create an .env file at the root of this project - it is gitignored.
• Set PLZ_LOCAL to the location of the wanted binary.

Language Server

The Please Language Server is maintained in a different repository.

You can debug the communication happening between VSCode and the server:

• Add "plz.trace.server": "verbose" to the repo's .vscode/settings.json.
• Select View > Output from the main menu and choose Please Language Server from the dropdown menu.
