The VS Code Vespa extension provides rich language support for the Vespa YQL Language.

• Run YQL requests against your vespa clusters and present the result in a webview table..

• Simple completion support is given for request snippets and the YQL query string.

• Optionally render a zipkin view if you enable tracing for your YQL request.

• Vespa Explorer

  • Explore and download application files.

vscode-vespa has the following keybindings by default (You can change them in the keybinding editor if you need to):

Vespa cluster running with the config and query endpoints available (ports 19071, 19050 and 8080). You can use the scripts in vespa-k8s-cluster to setup a vespa cluster locally using kind.

(Optional) Zipkin Server running

Optionally if you wish to view traces of your Vespa queries you can start a zipkin server.

# Start Zipkin server
docker run --name zipkin -d -p 9411:9411 openzipkin/zipkin

# Stop Zipkin server
docker rm -f zipkin

The vscode-vespa extension is configured via a config file in $HOME/.config/vscode-vespa/vespa-config.json. If the config file is not present then vscode-vespa will create a default config:

{
	"defaultCluster": "localhost",
	"clusters": [
		{
			"name": "localhost",
			"queryEndpoint": "http://localhost:8080/search",
			"configEndpoint": "http://localhost:19071",
			"zipkinEndpoint": "http://localhost:9411",
		}
	],
	"httpTimeout": "2s",
}

You can edit the config file directly in vscode by selecting the "Edit Vespa Cluster Configuration" command in the YQL editor menu.

This is work in progress.

We have started working on a yql request syntax file and added support for coloring of the yql parameter via the yql syntax. These are based on the vscode JSON syntax and vscode SQL syntax

This is work in progress.

We have started working on this in a new Vespa Schema syntax.

The zipkin traces are work-in-progress as the Vespa trace format is quite hard to parse. We have use the TransformVespaTrace.jsx from Vespa as the "source of truth" on how to parse the Vespa traces.

In the source code there is a beginings of a language server in the server/ dir. This is not enabled as the features it gives, at the moment, are limited.
