Notes

This extension is not published yet. To install proceed to local install section.

Local install

# First, make sure you have Node.js version 14 or greater installed. 

# Clone the extension.
git clone https://github.com/janet-lang/vscode-janet.git
cd vscode-janet

# Install vscode-janet dependencies.
npm install

# Generate the vscode extension (VSIX) file using vsce. 
npx vsce package

# Install the extension.
code --install-extension vscode-janet-0.0.2.vsix

# Finally reload the vscode window (cmd + shift + P > Developer: Reload Window).

Alternatively you can clone the extension right into vscode's extention directory. This is easier, but can be unreliable as vscode will sometimes clean up the extension directory and remove vscode-janet.

# Clone the extension.
cd ~/.vscode/extensions
git clone https://github.com/janet-lang/vscode-janet.git

# Force vscode to regenerate the extensions.json file.
mv extensions.json /tmp/ 

# Finally reload the vscode window (cmd + shift + P > Developer: Reload Window).

# If you're finding that vscode isn't loading the extension, you can force it to
# regenerate the extensions.json file by removing ~/.vscode/extensions/extensions.json.

Debug this extension

vscode-janet's Issues

Evaluate expression?

I'm sure that I'm missing something obvious (new to Janet and VS Code), but are there any settings or installation steps to use the keyboard shortcut to evaluate an expression (on macOS)?

"This extension is not published yet"

Is there any particular reason for this? Missing features?

Every evaluation causes a new janet repl to be created

Even if an existing janet repl exists from a previous Janet: Evaluate expression or Janet: Start REPL, a new one is created every time Janet: Evaluate expression is invoked.

Enhancement: Make extension work independently on jpm / spork being installed

Janet is a small language that can be conveniently installed and used just by copying a single binary, with no other dependencies or libraries.

However, the formatting in the VS Code extension only works if spork is installed. To install spork, jpm has to be installed.

It's trivial to modify the extension so that it runs independently on jpm or spork, requiring just the janet binary. I think this would make it easier to use the extension for people who are e.g. just trying Janet out and do not (yet) even know what jpm or spork is.

Actual
When clicking Up Arrow in Janet REPL, I see ^[[A symbols.

I've tracked it to -s flag of the REPL started. I don't know if it is there for a specific purpose, but running REPL without it fixes the issue.
