Pet Sarcasm 🐾

A VS Code extension that brings an adorable pet to judge your code errors. Your pet roams the sidebar and, whenever you make an error, it stops to leave a "gift" (💩) and a snarky comment.

Features

• Judgmental Pets: Choose between a Cat and a Dog to roam your sidebar.
• Roaming Life: The pet stays in the sidebar, walking and resting until it detects an error.
• Auto-Judgment: The pet poops wherever it stands when it detects build errors, task failures, or diagnostic errors.
• Customizable:
  • Toggle the extension on/off.
  • Choose your default pet character.
  • Enable/Disable auto-opening the sidebar on error.
• Fun Animations: Smooth SVG animations for roaming, squatting, and snarky speech bubbles.

Extension Settings

You can modify these settings in VS Code by going to File > Preferences > Settings (or Cmd+, / Ctrl+,) and searching for "Pet Judge".

• petJudge.autoOpenSidebar: Automatically open the Pet Judge sidebar when a new error occurs (default: true).
  • Note: If disabled, the pet will still judge your code, but you will need to manually open the Pet Judge sidebar to see the animation.
• petJudge.defaultCharacter: The default pet character to display (dog or cat, default: dog).

Commands

• Pet Judge: Trigger Animation (Test): Manually trigger the pet to appear.
• Pet Judge: Toggle On/Off: Quickly enable or disable the pet's judgment.

Known Issues

• The pet might be too cute to handle.

Terminal Errors Not Detecting?

If errors in your terminal (PowerShell, Bash, etc.) aren't triggering the pet, you likely need to enable Shell Integration.

• Look for colored circles in your terminal's left margin.
• If they are missing, check your VS Code settings for Terminal › Integrated › Shell Integration: Enabled.
• Note: On some restricted laptops, Shell Integration may be blocked by security policies.
