VS Code Extension Development#

Quick Publish Workflow#

npm run build    # Compile TypeScript + bundle views
npm run publish  # Bump version + package + publish to marketplace

That's it! The publish script handles version bumping automatically.

Scripts Reference#

Script Description
npm run build Compile extension (views + esbuild)
npm run compile Alias for build
npm run publish Bump patch version + package + publish
npm run package Create .vsix without publishing
npm run views Generate embedded JS from views/*.js

File Structure#

  • extension.ts - Main extension code
  • views/ - Embedded webview JS (process-tree, ast-tree)
  • generated-views.ts - Auto-generated from views/ (don't edit)
  • out/ - Compiled output (gitignored)
  • themes/ - Color themes
  • syntaxes/ - KidLisp syntax highlighting

Key Webview Functions#

  • getWebViewContent() - Main AC sidebar panel
  • getKidLispWebViewContent() - KidLisp.com window
  • getNewsWebViewContent() - News window
  • getWelcomePanelHtml() - Welcome/architecture panel

CSP Notes#

Each webview needs proper Content-Security-Policy for:

  • frame-src / child-src - Allow iframes (localhost:8888, aesthetic.computer)
  • script-src - Use nonces for inline scripts
  • connect-src - For WebSocket/fetch if needed

Testing Locally#

  1. Press F5 in VS Code to launch Extension Development Host
  2. Or install the .vsix: code --install-extension aesthetic-computer-code-X.X.X.vsix

Troubleshooting#

  • Marketplace shows old version: Cache lag, wait 2-5 minutes or bump version again
  • TypeScript errors: These are often strict-mode warnings, build still succeeds
  • Webview blank: Check CSP frame-src includes the iframe URL
