daslang Test Explorer

VSCode extension that integrates daslang's dastest test framework with the native Test Explorer UI.

Features

Discovers [test] and [benchmark] annotated functions in .das files
Run individual tests, entire files, or all tests at once
Three run profiles: Run All, Run Tests Only, Run Benchmarks Only
Benchmark timing stats shown in the Test Explorer sidebar
Failed test messages with source locations (click to navigate)
File watcher keeps the test tree in sync as you edit

Requirements

VSCode 1.85+
A built daslang compiler (bin/Release/daslang.exe or bin/Debug/daslang.exe)
dastest/dastest.das in the workspace

Installation

From source

cd utils/vscode-daslang-test
npm install
npm run compile
npx @vscode/vsce package

Then install the generated .vsix:

code --install-extension vscode-daslang-test-0.1.0.vsix

Or in VSCode: Extensions sidebar > ... menu > Install from VSIX...

Development

Open utils/vscode-daslang-test/ as a workspace in VSCode, then press F5 to launch the Extension Development Host.

Configuration

Setting	Default	Description
`dascript.compiler`	`""`	Path to daslang compiler (auto-detected from `bin/Release/daslang.exe`)
`dascript.dastestPath`	`""`	Path to `dastest/dastest.das` (auto-detected if in the daScript repo)
`dascript.testTimeout`	`120`	Test execution timeout in seconds

How it works

The extension scans .das files for require dastest/testing_boost and parses [test]/[benchmark] annotations via regex. When you run tests, it invokes dastest with --json-file for structured results and --bench for benchmarks. Test names are filtered with --test-names/--bench-names when running individual items.

Files with expect directives (negative compilation tests) are automatically excluded.
