tommy-vscode-extension

I would like to have an extension fitting my coding style. If you like to have one as else, feel free to copy this project.

Here, we will install locally. As, there is no need to publish the extension to public.

1. Checkout the Project

Checkout this project in your VS code extension folder.

Make sure (user)\.vscode\extensions\tommy-vscode-extension\package.json is in place.

2. Install and Compile

Run npm install and npm run compile

3. Open Visual Studio Code

By default, VS Code searches your extensions folder on startup. You will see the extension in extension tab.

However, the extension may not be working, if it is not trusted or VS Code is not updated.

4. Trust the Project

In VS code, open the project folder (user)\.vscode\extensions\tommy-vscode-extension and add it to trusted paths

5. Update Visual Studio Code

This project requires VS Code 1.84. Update your VS Code if needed.

Afterwards, restart your VS Code and you should see the extension up and running.

6. Update the Extensions JSON

In case your VS code still does not install the extension automatically.

You can manually add the follow to (user)\.vscode\extensions\extensions.json

{
  "identifier": { "id": "tommyiasia.tommy-vscode-extension" },
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "location": {
    "$mid": 1,
    "fsPath": "c:\\Users\\tommy\\.vscode\\extensions\\tommy-vscode-extension",
    "_sep": 1,
    "path": "/c:/Users/tommy/.vscode/extensions/tommy-vscode-extension",
    "scheme": "file"
  },
  "relativeLocation": "tommy-vscode-extension"
}

Also check if VS Code accidentally put the extension into (user)\.vscode\extensions\.obsolete list.

7. Develop

You can edit the project and commit it as any of our normal projects.
