Development setup

We welcome any quality bugfixes or contributions!

To avoid conflicts with your existing installation, it is recommended to delete the installed extension at:

• Linux and macOS: ~/.vscode/extensions/msjsdiag.vscode-cordova-<version>
• Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.vscode\extensions\msjsdiag.vscode-cordova-<version>

Clone the repository

• git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cordova.git to any preferrable folder
• cd to the folder you just cloned
• Run npm install -g gulp and npm ci
• Run gulp
• After completing above steps, run gulp release to package extension .vsix file. A VSIX package can help you install the latest extension maunally in VS Code extension tab.

Debugging

To debug the extension process itself and the debug adapter it provides, in VS Code run the Launch Extension debug target which will spawn a new instance of VS Code with the extension installed. You can set breakpoints in the Typescript and debug things such as extension activation and the command palette.

Testing

There is a set of mocha tests for the debug adapter which can be run with npm test, and a set of mocha tests for the other functionality run as part of the test launch config. Also run gulp eslint to check your code against our eslint rules.

See the project under test/testProject/ for a sample project that should build and compile, allow debugging of plugins and merges, and enable Intellisense for plugins.

Sending PR

Your pull request should:

• Include a clear description of the change
• Be a child commit of a reasonably recent commit in the master branch
  • Requests need not be a single commit, but should be a linear sequence of commits (i.e. no merge commits in your PR)
• It is desirable, but not necessary, for the tests to pass at each commit
• Have clear commit messages
  • e.g. "Refactor feature", "Fix issue", "Add tests for issue"
• Include adequate tests
  • At least one test should fail in the absence of your non-test code changes. If your PR does not match this criteria, please specify why
  • Tests should include reasonable permutations of the target fix/change
  • Include baseline changes with your change
• Ensure there are no linting issues (gulp eslint)
• To avoid line ending issues, set autocrlf = input and whitespace = cr-at-eol in your git configuration

Code

This extension is based on JavaScript Debugger extension.
