Setup

There are two settings you need to configure to make the tests work:

• acutestExplorer.testExecutable Relative path in the workspace root folder to executable that contains all tests (i.e. \bin\sampleapp.exe or /bin/sampleappbin)
• acutestExplorer.testsourceFile Relative path in the workspace root folder to test source code containing TEST_LIST definition (i.e \test\sampleapp.c or /test/sampleapp.c)

You can access these settings in File->Preferences->Settings

Compiling/Running code

• install the Test Explorer extension
• fork and clone this repository and open it in VS Code
• run npm install
• run npm run watch or start the watch Task in VS Code
• start the debugger

To create vsix extension:

• install vsce with npm install -g vsce
• run vsce package

You should now see a second VS Code window, the Extension Development Host. Open a folder in this window and click the "Test" icon in the Activity bar. Now you should see the fake example test suite in the side panel:
