VSCode: Vala Development
How to setup VSCodium (Open Source Visual Studio Code) for Vala development.
Add the GPG key of the repository:
wget -qO - https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/raw/master/pub.gpg | gpg --dearmor | sudo dd of=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/vscodium.gpg
Add the repository:
echo 'deb https://paulcarroty.gitlab.io/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo/debs/ vscodium main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/vscodium.list
Update package information and install vscodium:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install codium
- 1.
- 2.Run VSCodium
- 3.From within VSCodium, open the Extensions tab (
Ctrl + Shift + X) - 4.Click
... > Install from VSIX...on top of the Extensions sidebar - 5.Select the previously downloaded *.vsix file and click
Install
Now you can install the Vala Language Server. For this, open a Terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt install vala-language-server
- 1.
- 2.Run VSCodium
- 3.From within VSCodium, open the Extensions tab (
Ctrl + Shift + X) - 4.Click
... > Install from VSIX...on top of the Extensions sidebar - 5.Select the previously downloaded *.vsix file and click
Install
sudo apt install lldb
Make sure to restart VSCodium and then you are nearly ready to start: When you start the debugger the first time in a project, it will ask for a run configuration. Here's a minimal one which should be enough to get you started:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [{
"type": "lldb",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/build/src/com.github.myteam.myapp",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
}]
}
