Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• arxmlLanguageServer.ignorePattern: Allows to define regex pattern with which files can be excluded from indexing. However, this works only for files in a workspace folder. Open files will always be indexed (index will be removed if file is closed)

XML features

This extension does not provide any normal XML features as they can be obtained using redhat.vscode-xml.

This will give features like code completion and others (check extension webside).

To achive this, a xml file must be created with the following content:

<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
    <uri
        name="http://autosar.org/schema/r4.0"
        uri="file:///<your_path>/AUTOSAR_00052.xsd"
    />
</catalog>

The latest xsd can be found here: AUTOSAR_FO_MMOD_XMLSchema.zip

In vscode settings you need to add the path to the created xml:

"xml.catalogs": [
    "<your_path>/catalog.xml"
],
"xml.symbols.excluded": [
    "**/*.arxml"
],
"files.associations": {
    "*.arxml": "xml"
}

xml.symbols.excluded will make sure, that the xml extension does not interfere with this one.

Detailed information on the XSD settings can be found here: https://github.com/redhat-developer/vscode-xml/blob/main/docs/Validation.md#xml-catalog-with-xsd
