This extension provides additional support to developers working with the source code for the
open source Fuchsia operating system.
The extension recognizes Fuchsia-specific artifacts in the Fuchsia Git-based source repository
(also known as fuchsia.git), and adds features to help navigate them, such as:
Links from fuchsia component URLs (beginning with the fuchsia-pkg scheme), in any file, to the
component's "manifest" source file (either .cml or .cmx).
Links from fuchsia component URLs (beginning with the fuchsia-pkg scheme) in terminal output.
component's "manifest" source file (either .cml or .cmx).
References back from the manifest to any known source with a fuchsia-pkg component URL to the
manifest's component. Right-click anywhere in the manifest source (in the VS Code editor), and
select one of the menu options "Go to References" or "Find References".
Activates links to prefixed Fuchsia revision and bug IDs; for example:
fxrev.dev/[revision ID] (and legacy fxr/[revision ID]) link to https://fxrev.dev/[revision ID]
fxbug.dev/[bug ID] (and legacy fxb/[bug ID]) link to https://fxbug.dev/[revision ID]
Minimum Requirements and Implementation Details
You can run the git command.
Your VS Code workspace has exactly one workspace folder that is the root of your cloned fuchsia
repo. (This can be overridden in VS Code "Settings".)
You ran fx set ... (or fx use ...) to set the current build directory, and generate Ninja
build dependencies.
The extension reads build commands from the toolchain.ninja file in your build directory to
determine the package and component names assocated with each manifest (to establish links from
matching component URLs), and uses the git grep command to find references from any text document
in the fuchsia.git repo to a known component URL.
Note that a component URL is linked only if its manifest is included in the current fx set ...
build configuration.
