Building

This extension uses webpack for bundling, webpack-dev-server for watching files and serving bundles during development, mocha, chai for writing unit tests, and karma as a test runner.

Two bundles are defined for webpack, one for the main dialog, one for the extension context menu registration.

All actions can be triggered using npm scripts (npm run <target>), no additional task runner required.

General setup

You need

  • node/npm

then just clone and execute npm install.

Development

  1. Run npm run publish:dev to publish the current extension manifest to the marketplace as a private extension with a suffix of -dev added to the extension id. This package will use a baseUri of https://localhost:8080.

  2. Run npm run dev to start a webpack developmen server that watches all source files. Tests live next to product code and use a .tests.ts suffix instead of only .ts.

  3. To run a single test pass execute npm run test, to keep watching tests and build/execute as you develop execute npm run dev:test.

Production

  1. Run npm run publish:release to compile all modules into bundles, package them into a .vsix, and publish as a public extension to the VSTS marketplace.
