Answer Set Programming Language Support (for Clingo)

| Potassco | Potassco on Github | Clingo |

Features

This Extension uses Clingo Answer Set Solver (bundled), developed by Potassco (University of Potsdam). We added multi-file support with v0.4.0!

If you have any suggestions for a new feature or anything else please E-Mail me: frankreiter@uni-potsdam.de

Usage

Just right click anywhere on a logic program (.lp) file and select > Compute all Answer Sets or > Compute the first Answer Set. A new Terminal will open with the results!

If you want to add additional startup arguments you can use the > Compute Answer Sets (config.json) option.

First generate a sample config.json file with the ASPLanguage: Initialize clingo config file in current working directory command (Press Ctrl+Shift+P).

This will create a config file with all supported arguments/settings in your current working directory. If you want to use your own config file, just change the config file name in the extension settings. Additionally you can use arguments not directly supported by the config.json by passing them in the "customArgs" setting as a String.

You can also specify additional files to interpret in this config using the relative path from the current working directory.

See the Clingo Documentation for more details on the config settings!

If you want to use your own Version of Clingo from PATH with this extension, please enable "Use PATH Clingo" option in settings!

Requirements

For the extension to work properly, please install the Answer Set Programming syntax highlighter by abelcour (abelcour.asp-syntax-highlight)
