VSCode Remote Container for OCaml

Try Out Development Containers: OCaml

This is a sample project that lets you try out the VS Code Remote - Containers extension in a few easy steps.

CURRENT BUGS

• Launch.json and tasks.json are there but buggy, launching the program via F5 leads to an error as
• eval $(opam env) needs to be called for every new terminal
• Therefore, manual compilation/running via a integrated terminal is needed for now

Setting up the development container

Follow these steps to open this sample in a container:

1. If this is your first time using a development container, please follow the getting started steps.

2. To use this repository, you can either open the repository in an isolated Docker volume:

   • Clone this repository to your local filesystem.
   • Press F1 and select the Remote-Containers: Open Folder in Container... command.
   • Select the cloned copy of this folder, wait for the container to start, and try things out!

Things to try

Once you have this sample opened in a container, you'll be able to work with it like you would locally.

Note: This container runs as a non-root user with sudo access by default. Comment out "remoteUser": "opam" in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json if you'd prefer to run as root.

Some things to try:

1. Edit:
   • Open main.ml
   • Try adding some code and check out the language features.
2. Terminal: Press Ctrl+Shift+` and type uname and other Linux commands from the terminal window.
   • Source your ocaml installation via eval $(opam env)
