Shows PLC variable values from TcStarep.log on hover in TeachTalk source files (.tts, .ttd, .ttp).
Features
- Hover Tooltips: Hover over a variable name to see its values from the Starep log.
Values are grouped by instance and displayed in a compact table.
- Automatic Log Discovery: The extension automatically locates the
TcStarep.log within the
archive directory structure (starep_*.tgz_/PLC/).
- Caching: Parsed logs are cached per report directory for fast repeated lookups.
- Configurable: Control which file extensions are supported, how many instances to show,
and whether pointer-only entries are displayed.

How It Works
- When you open a
.tts, .ttd, or .ttp file inside an extracted Starep archive,
the extension searches for the corresponding TcStarep.log.
- The log is parsed asynchronously and cached.
- When you hover over a variable name, the extension looks up all matching entries
in the log and displays their values grouped by instance.
Requirements
- VS Code 1.85.0 or newer
- TeachTalk files must be located within an extracted Starep archive directory structure
