This is a simple extension to add TinyGo support to Visual Studio Code.

The following features are supported.

• Set the right environment variables in the .vscode/settings.json of your workspace
• Add support for 'preview' functionality
• Add debug settings to .vscode/settings.json, .vscode/launch.json and .vscode/tasks.json of your workspace

To use it, click on the TinyGo status bar element at the bottom of the screen and select a target. Alternatively, you could open the command palette and search for TinyGo target.

Debugging can be started via Run > StartDebugging (F5). At this time, debug using openocd is supported. The interface used by openocd can be changed from the following.

Notes:

• It is probably necessary to reload the window once you've set a new TinyGo target. You will be prompted for this if it's necessary.
• If the Go extension asks you to rebuild tools because the GOROOT changed, don't do that. It will result in errors and not do what you expect. This is something that should be improved in a future version.

This extension depends on the following:

• The Go extension for VS Code. This extension should be automatically installed as a dependency.
• The TinyGo compiler, version 0.15 or later. See installation instructions for your operating system.
• The Cortex-Debug extension for VS Code. This extension should be automatically installed as a dependency.
• for debug support
  • The TinyGo compiler, version 0.23 later. See installation instructions for your operating system.
  • See Debugging - Debug Tinygo programs using GDB. At least tinygo gdb must work.

For easy development, you can modify the package.json file a bit:

- "main": "./dist/extension.js", + "main": "./out/extension.js",

There is probably a better way, but this works.

To create an extension as a package, run the following command:

vsce package 

This creates a new vscode-tinygo-<version>.vsix file that you can install directly in VS Code.
