This repository is just a test to play with Language Servers (LS) and understand how they could be shared between different IDEs.
The LS will detect log lines in a code file and add a codelens and a hover to them.
This logic will be shared between VS and VSCode, but unfortunately, VS doesn't support codelenses... yet, but it does support hover.
Note that VS does not support markdown in Hovers.
Another issue I found while developing the VS extension is that native hovers will overrule the ones coming from our Language Servers. I still have to find documentation about why this is happening and how to avoid it. In VSCode, the hovers will be added to the ones provided by other providers.
This is a monorepo with 3 projects:
- language-server: Written in
Rustto easily create binaries for different platforms and even webassembly for web extensions support. - vscode-log-extension: VSCode extension written in
TypeScript. - vs-log-extension: Visual studio extension written in
C#. - test-project: Project with some
JavaScriptfiles to test the extension behavior.
You can take a look at vs_capabilities.json and vscode_capabilities.json if you want to learn which are the capabilities that VS2022 and VSCode support (2022-07-13).
Note that there's a powerpoint file with a small presentation about Language Extensions and language servers.
