Context Menu Commands

This extension will let us run commonly used terminal commands from the explorer context menu.

Features

• Removes the need to type: gulp watch --preamp --asset='{filepath}' to watch directories.
• Deploy to staging and production from context menu.
• Start development or production node server from context menu.
• Run cart from context menu.

Requirements

If you need to set a default node version use this command:

> nvm alias default {node version}

If you get an error related to the node-sass package, run this command:

> npm rebuild node-sass

And for now... be on the right team at the right company :)

How to Use

Right click on a folder in the vscode explorer and you will get a list of allowed actions at the bottom of your context menu.

Available Actions

1. Gulp Watch This

Prerequisites

Currently this option is available on all folders. Will run a check to make sure you are in a "preamp" parent directory.

Action

Runs the gulp watch terminal command on the selected folder path.

> gulp watch --preamp --asset='{relative path of folder}'

2. Deploy to Staging

Prerequisites

Available on the "control", "test", "test2" experience folders nested under v2 -> siteConfig -> frontier -> experience.

Action

Runs the npm script in the terminal to deploy cart to staging.

> npm deploy:staging:{selected experience folder}

3. Deploy to Production

Prerequisites

Available on the "control", "test", "test2" experience folders nested under v2 -> siteConfig -> frontier -> experience.

Action

Runs the npm script in the terminal to deploy cart to staging.

> npm deploy:prod:{selected experience folder}

4. Run Node: Development

Prerequisites

Add "checkout.node" to your workspace with cart! Available on the checkout.node folder.

Action

Runs the npm script in the terminal to start the node development server.

> npm run dev

5. Run Node: Production

Prerequisites

Add checkout.node to your workspace with cart! Available on the checkout.node folder.

Action

Runs the npm script in the terminal to start the node production server.

> npm run prod

Known Issues

• No node version checking before running commands related to npm.
• Gulp watch context menu item is available on all folders. Compatiblity check doesn't run until after running gulp watch command.
• Deploy to staging or production command only checks for folder name. Need to implement deeper checks.
• No checks to see if duplicate scripts are currently active. Will implement check and handlers to handle those situations.

Future Plans

• contributes.configuration will be supported in future releases. This will give us the ability to add custom commands, command groups and logic checking.
• Spin up cart from context menu.
