Carven for VS Code

Language support for Carven: diagnostics, completion, hover, navigation, rename, semantic highlighting, formatting and quick fixes.

Get started

1. Install the Carven toolchain and add its commands to PATH before starting VS Code.
2. Install carven-vscode-0.1.0.vsix with Extensions: Install from VSIX.
3. Open a trusted project folder and a .cv file.

Requires VS Code 1.142 or newer. The extension starts carven-lsp from PATH; VS Code provides its JavaScript runtime, so no separate Node installation is needed. For remote workspaces, install the toolchain on the remote host.

Use

Use the usual VS Code actions: Go to Definition, Find All References, Rename Symbol, Format Document, Quick Fix and Organize Imports. The Carven status item shows the active project and any configuration errors.

Projects use build.cv or xmake.lua; Xmake projects also require xmake on PATH. Set carven.target to select a target, or carven.xmakePath to select Xmake. To try a local build, set carven.serverPath to the absolute path of carven-lsp.

Run Carven: Reload Project to refresh project configuration, or Carven: Restart Language Server after updating the toolchain.
