Documentation on how to build the app and the extension

Hi,

Thanks for the extension, seems like this one works the best.

Do you have some documentation regarding how to build / develop it? I'd like to help adding some features.

Thanks

Hi,

it's very simple.

  1. fork the repo
  2. clone it on your computer
  3. ensure your have visual studio code, and erlang in your path environment
  4. open visual studio code, open folder (the cloned repo)
  5. now you can launch debugger by selecting "launch extension" in debugger section, then click on run icon
  6. the new instance of Visual Studio Code run extension

How to develop it ?

  1. erlang code is in apps\erlangbridge\src directory
  2. today all features are implemented in erlang, and only the "clue" code with vscode is written in typescript

Hi,

I was wondering about some instruction how to build the extension properly. Anyhow I tried I couldn't get the same files that pgourlain.erlang-0.5.2.vsix has. That has 4 beams only in apps/erlangbridge/ebin directory. Does anybody have some hints?

Best regards, Kornel
