"profileSwitcher.rules": [

    "profile": "python",
    "fileExts": ["py"]
  },
  {
    "profile": "test",
    "fileExts": ["bat"]
  }
]

使用方法

Steps
  • 确保在所有需要的配置文件上安装此扩展, 或者把扩展设置为"将扩展应用于所用配置文件".
  • 设置中搜索profileSwitcher.rules,将其设置为"将设置应用于所有配置文件".
  • 命令面板中输入 open app setting json ,选择Preferences: Open Application Settings(Json) 命令, 将打开默认Profile的settings.json.
  • 接下来在默认Profile的settings.json中配置 profileSwitcher.rules
  • 命令面板输入 Gen template ,选择Profiles: Generate template 命令生成配置模板文件.
  • 根据需要修改模版, 再复制到settings.json.

[!Note] 模板是通过读取你创建的所有配置文件的名称生成的(不包括默认配置), 不需要的选项可以删除.

  • 扩展会根据配置的规则以及打开的vscode窗口的工作区状态自动切换配置文件.

配置选项

Options

在 VSCode 设置中可以配置 profileSwitcher.rules,规则包含以下字段:

  • profile: 配置文件名称
  • folders: 指定文件夹,当打开这些指定文件夹下的子文件夹时使用指定的配置文件. 优先级最高.
  • projectManifestFile: 使用文件匹配模式,当工作区包含匹配的不同编程语言特有的项目清单文件(比如Cargo.toml,package.json)时使用指定的配置文件. 此选项比通用的pattern选项优先级更高.
  • pattern: 使用文件匹配模式,当工作区包含匹配的文件时使用指定的配置文件.
  • fileExts: 根据文件扩展名切换配置文件. 只在窗口没有工作区打开但打开了文本文档时切换一次, 窗口内没有文档打开时计数归零.

命令

  • Profiles: Gen template: 生成配置模板文件
  • Profiles: Reload configuration: 重新加载配置(当更改vscode配置文件即profiles后使用)

Usage

Steps
  • Make sure to install this extension on all the profiles you need, or set the extension to "Apply extension to all profiles".
  • In settings, search for profileSwitcher.rules and set it to "Apply setting to all profiles".
  • In the command palette, enter open app setting json, select the Preferences: Open Application Settings(Json) command, which will open the settings.json of the default Profile.
  • Next, configure profileSwitcher.rules in the settings.json of the default Profile
  • In the command palette, enter Gen template, select the Profiles: Generate template command to generate a configuration template file.
  • Modify the template as needed, then copy to settings.json.

[!Note] The template is generated by reading all the profile names you created (excluding the default profile), and options you don't need can be deleted.

  • The extension will automatically switch profiles based on the configured rules and the workspace state of the opened vscode window.

Configuration Options

In VSCode settings, you can configure profileSwitcher.rules with the following fields:

  • profile: Profile name
  • folders: Specify folders, when subfolders under these specified folders are opened, use the specified profile. Highest priority.
  • projectManifestFile: Use file matching patterns, when the workspace contains matching project manifest files specific to different programming languages (such as Cargo.toml, package.json), use the specified profile. This option has higher priority than the generic pattern option.
  • pattern: Use file matching patterns, when the workspace contains matching files, use the specified profile
  • fileExts: Switch profiles based on file extensions. Switches only once when the window has no workspace open but a text document is opened, and the count resets when no document is open in the window.

Commands

  • Profiles: Gen template: Generate configuration template file
  • Profiles: Reload configuration: Reload configuration (use after changing vscode profiles)
