codelaw for VS Code

Diagnostics, quick fixes, fix-on-save and formatting from codelaw — one linter and formatter for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, JSON, YAML, TOML, Markdown, CSS, SCSS and HTML. The extension holds no lint logic: it starts codelaw lsp and adds commands, so the editor shows exactly what codelaw check reports (SR-EDITOR).

Which codelaw runs: codelaw.path, else the workspace's node_modules/.bin/codelaw, else .venv/bin/codelaw (or beside python.defaultInterpreterPath), else the binary bundled in this extension's platform package. The project's own codelaw wins, so the editor agrees with CI.

Commands: Fix all · Format · Explain rule · Restart server · Show output · Copy debug info. Settings: codelaw.enable, codelaw.path, codelaw.fixOnSave, codelaw.formatOnSave, codelaw.logLevel, codelaw.trace.server.

Troubleshooting

• Where the log is: run codelaw: Show output (or click the status-bar item). It starts with the extension, VS Code and OS versions, every codelaw binary it tried and why it used the one it did, and the server's version.
• A file shows nothing: the log says why, once per file: no covered language, excluded, outside include, or a config that does not load.
• More detail: set codelaw.logLevel to debug (no restart needed) to add one line per check with the rule count, diagnostic count and milliseconds. codelaw.trace.server is the raw protocol, for protocol bugs only.
• Reporting a problem: run codelaw: Copy debug info and paste the result in an issue. It holds versions, the binary path, settings and the last 200 log lines; the log never holds your source text or environment variables.

Developing

npm ci && npm test     # compiles and tests the binary lookup and the logging helpers

version is the one version (L6 decision 9): scripts/version.py --set writes it here and in package-lock.json, and --check fails when either drifts. scripts/vsix.py build makes the eight platform .vsix files, each with its bin/codelaw; scripts/vsix.py check checks them. Every link in this file is absolute: it is the Marketplace and Open VSX page, where a relative link breaks.
