vscode-cyagen

vscode-cyagen is based on the same idea as cyagen but realized as a vscode extension.

Features

File generator to reduce the manual efforts to prepare another scripting files which contains C code identifiers from a given C source file. The default embedded templates are to generate GoogleTest scripts.

  • Scan C source file using the simple pattern matching to capture its identifiers in the code
  • Generate text based files by rendering the given set of template files (*.njk, in nunjucks format).
  • Supported identifiers are inclusion, local variables, and functions; refer to cyagen
  • Demo: to generate the Google Test skeleton files to test a C file which is active in editor. Demo

Tip: The default template set for Google Test provides the full fledged cmake build scripts but this cmake project is compatible only with Unix-like system.

Tip: you can prepare your own template set by adding an entry in vscode-cyagen.templates.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

  • vscode-cyagen.templates: the array of template set; every set has to have the below settings
    • label: the name or label for this set; to be displayed as a selection option when trying to generate. e.g., gtest or cantata; this extension doesn't include the template set for cantata but you can complete by referring to gtest ones.
    • templateFolder: the template folders containing template files to be used for file generation.
      • All the template files should be compatible with nunjucks format and .njk file extension.
      • The template folder can be recursive; you can have sub folders for further template files; the same structure of folders to be created as output.
      • {{sourcename}} in template file or folder name: to be replaced with source file name without file extension
    • outputFolder: the output root folder where the generated files are placed.
  • vscode-cyagen.localStaticVariableMacroName: the user defined macro name string which is used for the definition of a local static variable. e.g., LOCAL_STATIC_VARIABLE. Using this special macro, it makes test script access to local static variable. more details are found in README.md generated with gtest
