alibrescript-vscode

Autocomplete and help text for Alibre Script, the scripting built into Alibre Design.

• Commands
  • alibrescript: Check Configuration reports why autocomplete is not working.
• Features
  • Autocomplete for Alibre Script classes, methods and properties.
  • Hover text explaining what a method does and what each value means.
  • Return types, so mistakes show up before you run the script in Alibre.
  • Real parameter names, so you see Depth rather than arg0.
  • Type stubs bundled with the extension and registered for you.
• Settings
  • alibrescript.enableTypeHints turns the autocomplete on and off.
• Requirements
  • VS Code 1.125 or newer.
  • The Python extension and Pylance, installed with this one.
  • Python 3.6 or newer, for the editor only.
• Usage
  • Put from AlibreScript import * at the top of your file, for VS Code only.
  • Delete that line before running the script in Alibre Design.
  • Alibre Script is Python 2.7, so no f-strings and no type hints.
• Related
  • The Python 3 alibrex package needs alibrex-vscode instead.
