Requirements

• Local installation of git

• Hound config with keys in the "repos" following a namespace/repo structure

  {
      ...
      "repos": {
          "szinsli/vscode-hound": {
              "url": "git@bitbucket.org:szinsli/vscode-hound.git"
          },

          }
      }
  }
  

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

• hound.url: API endpoint for your hound installation e.g. http://localhost:6080

• hound.repoPattern: pattern to use to create a repo URL for a given namespace and repo name.

  • namespace: the owner namespace of the repo

  • repo: the name of the repo itself

    e.g. git@github.com:${namespace}/${repo}.git

• hound.localRepoRoots: array of directories for this extension to search for repos non-recursively

  e.g. ["~/projects"]

• hound.launchers: array of launcher configs containing:

  • launch: command to launch when a search result is selected.

    Takes the following substitutions (using the ${substitution} syntax):

    • folder: the local repo directory path
    • fileName: the relative filepath of the match within the repo
    • lineNumber: line number of the match

  • matchers: an array of rule objects. Any single match will enable the launcher.

    Can contain one of the following:

    • containsFile: the launcher will match if the repo contains a file with this name (e.g. {"containsFile": "index.html"})
    • nameMatchesRegex: the launcher will match if the supplied regex matches the repo name (e.g. {"nameMatchesReges": "some.*thing"})
    • hasExtension: the launcher will match if the selected file has the supplied extension (e.g. {"hasExtension": "java"})

  • example:

    "hound.launchers": [
      { 
          "launch": "code ${folder} -g '${folder}/${fileName}:${lineNumber}'",
          "matchers": [
              { "containsFile": "package.json": },
              { "hasExtension": "ts" }
          ]
      },
      {
          ...
      }
    ]
