VSCode extension for Red

An extension with rich support for the Red language, with features including the following and more:

• hint all syntax errors
• auto completion
• goto definition
• navigate to any symbol definition
• hover to view signatures
• Interpret or compile Red source file

Quick Start

1. Install the extension

2. Install Red

Note:

• For Windows user, need to run red.exe --cli
• latest automated build version should be installed for 0.4.x, and this extension not worked with last stable version

3. Turn on/off the intelligence feature

You can turn on/off the intelligence feature in the User or Workspace Settings file (settings.json) as follows.

For Example, turn off it:

"red.intelligence": false

Compile Red Source File

Specify the full path of the red toolchain

For compiling Red source file, you need to configure the path to the Red toolchain in the User or Workspace Settings file (settings.json) as follows.

"red.redPath": "/home/user1/tools/red-latest"

For Windows user: c:/work/red/red.exe or c:\\work\\red\\red.exe or c:\work\red\red.exe will all be accepted.

Specify the full path

You can also configure the directory for output files of the compiler. The current work space (project) directory is used by default.

(Note: If no work space directory, the output files are in the same folder as the Red source file.)

"red.buildDir": "/home/user1/debug"

If you are using Linux and prefer to use the Windows version of Red through Wine until GUI support is available for Linux, you can point red.redPath to a small shell script.

Shortcuts

Configurations

The following Visual Studio Code settings are available for the Red extension. These can be set in user preferences or workspace settings.

{
    // Path to Red toolchain
    "red.redPath": "",

    // Directory to put compiling result of Red Source file.
    "red.buildDir": "",

    // Whether to enable or disable intelligence.
    "red.intelligence": true
}

The following commands are available for the Red extension. These can be associated with keyboard shortcuts via the keybindings.json file.
