RobotPy for VS Code

A VS Code extension that adds commands and graphical menus for RobotPy.

It can be installed from the VS Code extension marketplace (link tbd).

Warnings

This extension is designed for beginners and does not attempt to expose all RobotPy features. It cannot be used to create a new RobotPy project. It has the following opinionated behaviors:

• The extension will always create a venv in a folder named .venv, and will immediately configure the VS Code Python extension to use it.
• When opening a RobotPy project, it will automatically upgrade the robotpy_version in pyproject.toml and run robotpy sync.

Usage

Once the extension is installed, two new menu items will appear next to the Run button in the editor title bar. The robot button deploys code to a robot (robotpy deploy), while the computer button launches the simulator (robotpy sim). You can also access RobotPy commands from the command palette by pressing Ctrl-Shift-P (or Cmd-Shift-P on macOS).
