Installing VSCode extension?

Installing VSCode extension?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 823 bytes --]

I am installing the Windows version of ConTeXt, which comes with a VSCode
extension, in

<ConTeXt>\tex\texmf-context\context\data\vscode\extensions


with instructions to run (from within the VSCode terminal):

code -- extensions-dir <above directory> -- install-extension context


The trouble is that the current ConTeXt installation (as of 65 minutes
ago), doesn't seem to contain an extension in the format that VSCode
understands.  Running that command produces the errors:

Installing extensions...
Extension 'context' not found.
Make sure you use the full extension ID, including the publisher, e.g.:
ms-dotnettools.csharp
Failed Installing Extensions: context:


For what it's worth, I'm running VSCode 1.46.0.

How can I install the VSCode ConTeXt extension?

Thank you,
Alasdair

Here i just run this (seems to work with latest update):

data/context/vscode-context.cmd

(I only occasionally check vscode and will look into it again when there 
is easy suffix dependent runner support. Of course I do generate the 
syntax files.)

Thank you very much, but in fact that script file "vscode-context.cmd"
really just contains the same command for installing extensions as I quoted
above - and so produces the same errors.  Maybe I'll go back to trying
SciTe - I gave it a bit of a go, but wasn't successful.  Of all the
information on the context-wiki, and the Pragma webpage - where would I go
to find the most up-to-date information about configuring an editor to work
with ConTeXt in Windows?

Thanks again,
Alasdair

You could try Atom and install the ConTeXt module from github.com/massifrg/language-context.
Original language-context is outdated, but upstream didn’t react to mails from Massi and me.
This version also isn’t perfect, but I’m using and occasionally updating it. (I should re-base it on the current work done for the wiki.) There’s also still no run command.

Additionally you should install 
- language-latex (contains plain TeX commands)
- language-lua
- atom-ide-terminal (for running ConTeXt in place)
- file-icons (only icon package that contains TeX icons)
- pdf-view (not very good, but good enough for simple cases)

Best, Hraban

Thanks again, I've fiddled with SciTE, but when I attempted to compile a
context file, I was told that "texexec" wasn't in my path, so somehow,
somewhere, I must have picked up an old version of the compile command.
Also, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of getting SciTE to use a
monospaced font.  I've fiddled with the customization files to no avail
whatsoever.  I think I have Atom already, but surely there should be some
easy way of getting other text editors working?

Hi Alasdair,

i fiddled with SciTE some years ago and ended with a file myproperties.properties in the programdata\scite directory.

In this file i set the fonts and my context command as follows:
----
# Codepages
# UTF-8
code.page=65001
output.code.page=65001
# Byte
# code.page=0

position.left=25
position.top=25
position.width=1870
position.height=1000

font.base=font:Consolas,size:15
font.monospace=$(font.base)
font.errorfont=$(font.base)
font.comment=$(font.base)
font.text=$(font.base)
font.text.comment=$(font.base)
font.embedded.base=$(font.base)
font.embedded.comment=$(font.base)
font.vbs=$(font.base)

command.1.$(file.patterns.context)=cmd /c context $(FileNameExt) && start sumatraPDF $(FileName).pdf -reuse-instance
----

The last line of SciTEGlobal.properties is
import myproperties

This works ok for me.


Greetings Lutz

Did you read $TEXROOT/texmf-context/context/data/scite/context/documents/scite-context-readme.pdf ?

I don’t know if that answers your questions and if it’s still current.

I was able to install vscode extension by symlinking...

How to do that? 

I do not see such setting - see attached screenshot.

I've the same question?

Same here.

I also wonder about snippets, are there some?

To write markdown, I can get great support with *any* editor - Emacs,
Vim, Oni2, ST3(4) and same is true for PHP/HTML/CSS coding which I plan
to do, but ConTeXt support and LSP features are not so great in
comparison while I'd not like being forced to change (ConTeXt) markup
due to editor-related issues. 

Anyone?

Are those extensions only for VSCode or they should work with other
clients/editors (Emacs, Vim, ST) all of which have LSP support?

Dear Dalyoung,

Thanks! That got me up and running. Maybe this can help others (or maybe it
is well-known):

* Since January, the editor supports a global tasks.json file (if I
understood
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41046494/making-global-tasks-in-vs-code
correctly).
I updated, and indeed, that seems to work.
* I noticed that valid macros are recognized while typing, even if one has
not used them before. When one starts typing the text is non-bold, and when
it is a known macro it gets bold. That was useful.

Best regards, Mikael

For the first question, I don’t know either.
For the second question, I’d like to explain what I did for compiling TeX file in vscode.
Since I use vscode in MacOsX, you may find your way in Linux.

There is a tasks.json file in .vscode folder.
I added the following script in the “tasks":[ ]  and save it.
(You have to modify the  "texmf-osx-64/bin” path in the following script from your machine.

    {
            "label": "ConTeXt LuaMetaTeX",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "export PATH=/Users/graph/ConTeXtLM/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin:$PATH;mtxrun --autogenerate --script context --autopdf --purge '${file}'",
            "args": [],
            "options": {
                "cwd": "${fileDirname}"
            },
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            }
     },

When you want to compile a ConTeXt file, find “terminal > Run Build task” in the menu,
then “ConTeXt LuaMetaTex” will pop up.
Or just use the key “command-shift-B” instead using menu item.

I hope that it may help.

Best wishes,

Dalyoung

Hi!

To make a symlink worked well here, in the sense that I got a context
extension in vs code, and when opening a context file it was recognized as
such. I could go into the extension settings and enable color syntax.
Questions:

1) Is there a way to get autocompletion on all context commands (not only
the ones I have in the document)? If so, how?
2) Is there a nice way to compile the tex file from within vs code? As of
now, I opened a terminal and compiled from that, but that feels like the
wrong way of doing it.

I'm on linux and with the latest standalone (lmtx if that matters).

It might make sense to not copy the files but symlink the folder (then it automatically receives updates).
i.e.
ln -s $TEXROOT/texmf-context/context/data/vacode/extensions/context ~/.vscode/extensions/

Don’t know how symlinking in Windows works, though.

Dear Alasdair McAndrew,

I am using vscode in iMac, so my setting may not work for you.



1. First, find files for vscode in your TeX folder.

In my case, 

/ConTeXt-homefolder/tex/texmf-context/context/data/vacode/extensions/context/*.*

2. In a homefolder, there is a hidden folder “.vacode”.

Copy context/*.* to  ./vscode/extensions/context/*.*

3. Open vscode and enable context-extension.

Since it was long time ago, my memory may not be correct.
However, I hope that it may give you an idea.

Best wishes,

Dalyoung
