VSCode Build Log Tracker

When working on the VSCode source code, many of us run yarn watch in an external terminal.

This extension tracks the build log generated by yarn watch (located at .build/log) and brings in the errors into the problems view.

See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build for more information on how to build VSCode.

Usage

  • Run yarn watch in the vscode folder
  • Open VSCode on that folder, Install the extension && check the problems view
  • The extension activates if the workspace folders contains a file .build/log.
  • The extension does not show problems in currently open documents.

Enjoy!
