Contributing

To get the extension running locally:

git clone https://github.com/laravel/vs-code-extension.git
cd vs-code-extension
npm install

Open the project in VS Code
Open the command palette and search for "Debug: Start Debugging"
A new VS Code window will open, you'll see "[Extension Development Host]" in the title
Open any folder you'd like to test against
Press ⌘ + R to reload the Extension Development Host project and see changes

Of Note

console.log will appear in your main VS Code "Debug Console" tab, not the Extension Development Host window
info, error, etc from src/support/logger.ts will show up in the "Output" tab (make sure to select "Laravel" from the list) of your Extension Development Host window

The Laravel LSP is a standalone binary that powers language-server behavior, item detection, and autocomplete.

If you are making changes to the LSP, create an .env file at the root of the vs-code-extension with the full path to this variable set:

LARAVEL_LSP_BINARY_PATH=[FULL PATH TO DIRECTORY]/lsp/server

If you make changes to your .env file, you'll have to close the Extension Development Host and start debugging again.
