## Setup - Clone [Microsoft/vscode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode) - Run `yarn` at `/`, this will install - Dependencies for `/extension/css-language-features/` - Dependencies for `/extension/css-language-features/server/` - devDependencies such as `gulp` - Open `/extensions/css-language-features/` as the workspace in VS Code - Run the [`Launch Extension`](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/extensions/css-language-features/.vscode/launch.json) debug target in the Debug View. This will: - Launch the `preLaunchTask` task to compile the extension - Launch a new VS Code instance with the `css-language-features` extension loaded - You should see a notification saying the development version of `css-language-features` overwrites the bundled version of `css-language-features` - Test the behavior of this extension by editing CSS/SCSS/Less files - Run `Reload Window` command in the launched instance to reload the extension ### Contribute to vscode-css-languageservice [Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice) contains the language smarts for CSS/SCSS/Less. This extension wraps the css language service into a Language Server for VS Code. If you want to fix CSS/SCSS/Less issues or make improvements, you should make changes at [Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice). However, within this extension, you can run a development version of `vscode-css-languageservice` to debug code or test language features interactively: #### Linking `vscode-css-languageservice` in `css-language-features/server/` - Clone [Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice) - Run `yarn` in `vscode-css-languageservice` - Run `yarn link` in `vscode-css-languageservice`. This will compile and link `vscode-css-languageservice` - In `css-language-features/server/`, run `yarn link vscode-css-languageservice` #### Testing the development version of `vscode-css-languageservice` - Open both `vscode-css-languageservice` and this extension in a single workspace with [multi-root workspace](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/multi-root-workspaces) feature - Run `yarn watch` in `vscode-css-languageservice` to recompile the extension whenever it changes - Run `yarn watch` at `css-language-features/server/` to recompile this extension with the linked version of `vscode-css-languageservice` - Make some changes in `vscode-css-languageservice` - Now when you run `Launch Extension` debug target, the launched instance will use your development version of `vscode-css-languageservice`. You can interactively test the language features. - You can also run the `Debug Extension and Language Server` debug target, which will launch the extension and attach the debugger to the language server. After successful attach, you should be able to hit breakpoints in both `vscode-css-languageservice` and `css-language-features/server/`
