Requirements

The vsleet: Local Solution command internally triggers python.execInTerminal, which relies on the official VS Code Python extension. The other commands do not require any dependencies.

Authentication

Although you can use the vsleet: New Problem and vsleet: Local Solution commands freely without authentication, you need to be authenticated to leetcode.com to run vsleet: Run Solution and vsleet: Submit Solution.

1. Login to leetcode.com from any browser.
2. Copy all cookies for leetcode.com.
3. Run the vsleet: Paste Cookie command.
4. Paste the cookies copied from the browser.

If you are using chromium based browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, you can use our extension to copy cookies: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/vsleet/ihgifhobfmjhcelknpbjhpabkcghjmfh?hl=en

If you are an advanced user, feel free to copy cookies using browser devtools.

The vsleet: Paste Cookie command expectes a cookie string in the format:

csrftoken=ABCDEF1234567890;LEETCODE_SESSION=ABCDEF1234567890;

Specifically, the csrftoken and LEETCODE_SESSION cookies are required.

Known Limitations

• The extension only supports python3 for now.
