CMake Tools Multi-Language

Fork of CMake Tools

CMake Tools Multi-Language adds cmake.enabled, If 'false', CMake Tools skips the workspace, can be set at folder level. E.g. Skip folders that do not use CMake.

This fork was made because the author has a workspace with multiple roots (aka projects). Some of them are Python, Fortran or JavaScript projects, and wanted to have a setting to disable this extension on those roots. This stops the extension from running CMake build actions, CTest stubs and Intellisense on non-CMake projects!

PLEASE, if you experience any problems, have any questions, or have an idea for a new feature, create an issue on the GitHub page!

This extension itself does not provide language support for the CMake scripting language. For that we bundle this extension which provides the support. A closed-source extension that provides even better support can also be installed: CMake Language Support
