*My notes from getting vscode and Leointeg working today. Both tools are completely new to me.*
Chocolatey and Miniconda/Anaconda setup recipe for leointeg, a plugin to enable Visual Studio Code to use Leo Editor as an engine for working with outlines and nodes and clones. Starting point: a Win10 admin command prompt with Chocolatey installer, Conda, and Git in PATH. I pinned python to 3.6 as that is Leo's current minimum python version. Adjust to suit your preference. Admin prompt :: Install Visual Studio Code & python support, Node.js choco install vscode vscode-python nodejs Normal command prompt: :: Create anaconda environment for Leo & Leo-integ conda create -n vscode-leo conda activate vscode-leo conda install python=3.6 :: Install Leo & dependencies pushd code pip install --editor .\leo-editor :: Install Leointeg python dependencies pip install websockets :: Install Leointeg & Node.js dependencies git clone https://github.com/boltex/leointeg cd leointeg npm install npm audit fix Run vscode Open Folder >> path\to\leointeg "This workspace has extension recommendations" >> Install All Open command pallete [Ctrl-Shift-P] - type "select inter" and chose "Python: Select interpreter" from the list. Status bar will indicate search for and caching of python environments, followed by list of conda environments. >> Choose the leointeg one, e.g. c:\tools\miniconda3\envs\vscode-leo\python.exe - Using same technique, change 'Default Terminal' to Command Prompt instead of Powershell. (Apparently if you use Powershell there's more manual things to do.) Run Extension - [Ctrl-Shift-D] to open debugger side panel, then - Press play button (right pointing green triangle) - [F5] Vscode will open a new window in foreground. The background vscode window should have a highlighted bottom status bar and show the leointeg conda python environment. The foreground window should be titled "Extension Development Host". From it Open Folder and point to your Leo stuff. A "Welcome to Leointeg" page opens. Switch back to the original vscode window. Open a terminal in vscode [Ctrl-Shift-`] and start the leobridge server manually. python leobridgeserver.py Now switch to the dev host and in left hand menu >> Leo Integration >> [Connect to Server]. When connection is established an [Open Leo File] button should replace [Connect to Server]. …. *When things don't work, look to the [Debug Console] panel in the original Vscode window. * *What seems to be needed in every new vscode session:* 1. *Selecting the python interpreter* 2. *Running "python leobridgsever.py" * *I'm confident there's a way to automate this, somewhere.* Sources - How to run the Leointeg extension: https://github.com/boltex/leointeg/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md - Setting and using Python environments in Vscode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
