Contributing

I love your input! I want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features
  • Becoming a maintainer

Develop using VSCode

What's in the folder

  • package.json - this is the manifest file that defines the list of extensions of the extension pack.
  • src/extension.ts - this is the entry point of the extension
  • src/amentTaskProvider.ts - this is provides the ament tasks
  • tests/problem-matcher.test.ts - this is the testing script

Get up and running straight away

  • Press F5 to open a new window with your extension loaded.
  • Open Extensions Viewlet and check your extensions are installed.

Make changes

  • You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after making changes to the files listed above.
  • You can also reload (Ctrl+R or Cmd+R on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes.

If you want to add another task, follow the how to add directions

  • To create your extension package run vsce package
  • To start using your extension with Visual Studio Code

code --install-extension ament-task-provider-0.1.5.vsix

Report bugs using Github's issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

  • A quick summary and/or background
  • Steps to reproduce
  • Be specific!
  • Give sample code if you can.
  • What you expected would happen
  • What actually happens
  • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

People love thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.

Use a Consistent Coding Style

I'm using prettier to enforce styling. If you open this repository in VSCode using the dev container, everything should be set up for your already 😄
