VS Code support for Livecode language

Features

Lots of new improvements happening! We now have a Changelog

General Features

Learn more about the rich features of the Livecode extension:

• Linting
• Format your code
• Syntax highlighting
• Go to definition (across opened documents)
• Outline
• Breadcrumbs
• Livecode builder support

Usage

Install the VSCode Livecode Extension.

This extension requires Livecode server in order to support linting and formatting.

Download and install livecode-server. When the plugin is loaded it will ask for Livecode-server executable.

Search for 'Livecode Server Executable Path' in VSCode configuration.

Livecode builder (LCB) support

LiveCode Builder is a variant of the current LiveCode scripting language (LiveCode Script) which has been designed for 'systems' building. It is statically compiled with optional static typing and direct foreign code interconnect. To use the lcb linter you must configure the lc-compile executable. Search for 'Livecodebuilder: LCBCompiler Path' and 'Livecodebuilder: LCBDependencies Path' on VScode configuration.

vscode-livecodescript's Issues

Enhance extension Installation and set up instructions

Explain better how to download and configure Livecode server

Add custom formatter and a configuration entry to select the formatter (original/custom)

Add LCB Support

spawn <server file path> EACCES

I recently migrated to an M2 MBA; I downloaded the latest available version of server (9.6.8 pro) and entering the file path of the server binary immediately generates the error:

spawn <- file path to server file- > EACCES

I take this to mean there was an error of some kind when trying to use the server for linting. I haven't seen this before and am not sure how to resolve - but now using VSCode doesn't actually pick up syntax errors. I initially had the server living in /Applications and then tried the same moving it to my Documents folder.

Grateful for advice
Stam

Add posibility to select wether to check strict variables or not when linting on LC script

Erroneous text alterations on formatting

On VSCode 1.65.2 on MacOS Monterey:
On a particular set of text, formatting 'eats' characters. In the attached example, this affects the string group "dates"
Within handler text the space between words is removed. In comment text, both the space and the 'p' are removed.

Add (at least) basic support for using this extension on VSCode web

On outline symbols handlers reports handler names with extra"("

[[formatter]] Outdated format

Multiline comments should continue on new lines with a space in front of a "*" character Ej

/* This is a multiline comment
 * continued in this line */

Also linebreaks should indent only one level after (currently 2)

This brakes outlines : put "/*"
