When working on the VSCode source code, many of us run yarn watch
in an external terminal.
This extension tracks the build log generated by yarn watch
(located at .build/log
) and brings in the errors into the problems view.
See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build for more information on how to build VSCode.
- Run
yarn watch
in the vscode folder - Open VSCode on that folder, Install the extension && check the problems view
- The extension activates if the workspace folders contains a file
.build/log
. - The extension does not show problems in currently open documents.
Enjoy!
