Ant for Visual Studio Code

Support for the Ant programming language: highlighting, formatting, and the language features of ant lsp, including diagnostics, completion, hover, go to definition, references, and rename.

Install ant

The extension does not bundle ant:

go install github.com/ant-src/ant/cmd/ant@latest

It finds ant on PATH or in your Go bin directory. Set ant.path to use another one.

Commands

• Ant: Run File runs the current file with ant run
• Ant: Restart Language Server
• Ant: Show Server Output

Tasks

A task of type ant in tasks.json runs a file with ant run, so it can be the default build task or have a keyboard shortcut:

{ "type": "ant", "file": "main.ant", "label": "run main", "group": "build", "problemMatcher": "$ant" }

Development

npm install
npm test                  # grammar tests
npm run test:integration  # tests in VS Code, needs ../ant
npm run package           # builds the .vsix

To release, run npm version patch && git push --follow-tags. CI attaches ant.vsix to a GitHub release and publishes it to the Marketplace.
