LoganCH Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) I've recently taken over the development of an extension for Visual Studio Code, which I've found to have a great mix of features as a code editor. I've recently been able to get the extension to a point that it could launch scripts from the editor, open the help docs on a highlighted keyword, and launch the Info app. I'm still working on wrapping my head around the inner workings of VSCode to be able to implement advanced features like Intellisense but would appreciate any feedback (bugs, feature requests, new different snippets) in this thread or on the GitHub page where I'm maintaining the extension. You check out the extension on the VSCode Marketplace here and view the code on GitHub here. Edit: Go to http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows for information on installing Visual Studio Code. See http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery for information on installing extensions to VS Code.

Sure, this page describes installing Visual Studio Code itself (note, this is Microsoft's Sublime Text-like text editor, not the Visual Studio IDE). After you've installed VS Code, the information on http://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery should describe how to install extensions, to get the one I'm working on you'd search for "AutoIt". Let me know if you need any other information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganCH Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I just published an update that allows you to compile scripts from VS Code (as long as you have the AutoItWrapper folder under the SciTe folder in a default AutoIt configuration) and more snippets.

jpm Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 So the SciTE must be installed to be usable at least the AutoItWrapper dir right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need the AutoItWrapper folder placed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE" directory, for now. I wanted to just package the wrapper with the extension, but I wasn't sure if that was okay to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AutoIt3Wrapper is part of the ful SciTE4AutoIt3 setup and also needs other directories in the SciTE dir like Tidy and au3stripper. I prefer that there are no other installers installing stuff into the SciTE subdirectory as that will only confuse things and make mixing both setups collide. There is nothing wrong to state in your tool that a prerequisite for it is to install SciTE4AutoI3 and have them happily live side by side.

Jos 1 Oh, I definitely wouldn't have anything added to the subdirectory for AutoIt3, I was more thinking of placing self-contained copies of the AutoIt3Wrapper (plus Tidy and Stripper) folders within a subfolder of the extension for my code to refer to.

LoganCH Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Just published a new update (0.0.9), here are the changes: Changed compile command to closer reflect SciTe4AutoIt3 version (Opens GUI) Implemented build command, which works similar to previous compile command Added console output for running, compiling and building scripts Run, compile and build commands exit early if current file isn't AutoIt Implemented the hover feature and the first few hovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganCH Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've got another update (0.1.0)!

Sorry for the late reply, but as stated, I am not in favor of this at all as you can't support the software i distribute. My preference is that you set a prerequisite to install AutoIt3 and SciTE4Autoit3 and you install your stuff in a logical place an point to the software in its original place. This keeps the installation clean and supported.
