This repo helps YottaDB developers better develop routines from within Visual Code Studio. Each save of a routine file from within Visual Code studio will cause the routine to load and compile within YottaDB
Visual Code Studio - https://code.visualstudio.com/
Run On Save VSCode extension - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pucelle.run-on-save
Remote SSH extension - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh
- Install VSCode
- Add the Remote SSH extension - File - Preferences - Extensions - Remote SSH
- Once installed, a green button should appear to the bottom left of the VSCode window labelled Open a Remote Window Click on this and select Connect to Host
- Select Add New SSH Host
- Enter ssh username@192.168.240.1 -A Where username is the username under which yottadb was installed and 192.168.240.1 is the IP address of the server running YottaDB
- A pop up box should appear titled Host added! Click Connect
- Select Linux as the platform for the remote host and then proceed to enter the password
- Once connected, you should be able to Open Folder and navigate to the .yottadb folder in the user's home directory.
- Navigate to the routines directory for the YottaDB installation e.g. /root/.yottadb/r1.30_x86_64/r
- You should then be able to see the YottaDB routines listed and be able to double click a routine for editting
- On the server running YottaDB, add the ydbcompil executable file and allow it to be accessed via the system path i.e. move the file to /usr/local/bin Ensure that ydb is also accessable via the system path i.e. ln -s /usr/local/yottadb/ydb /usr/local/bin/ydb
- Back in VSCode Studio, Click File - Preferences - Extensions and add Run On Save by pucelle (Please note that there are a number of extensions with the same name. Take time to add the correct one)
- Click on the cog icon for the extension and then Extension Settings
- Click Edit in settings.json
- Copy and paste the text from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RamSailopal/YottaDB-VSCode/main/settings.json
- Save the file
A terminal will now open at the bottom of a code edit window and when a routine is amended and saved, the ydbcompil executable will automatically run to compile the code within YottaDB. Any compilation errors will show in the terminal window.
The M/MUMPS/Cache language syntax highlighting and basic formatting extension by David Silin can also by added by following the same procedure as above to add syntax highlighting when editting routines.
