loop

OpenAI GPT Powered Test Driven Development. Give Me Tests, I'll Give You Code.

Motivation

With the introduction of ChatGPT, one interesting feature it provides is that it can generate code! However, given a prompt for the desired code, the response is often kinda wonky. So, rather than giving it a prompt, why not give it a test? This is the idea behind loop, a VS Code extension that supports test-driven development by generating code that passes given tests.

Configuring the extension

There are 2 settings that can be used to configure the extension. Notably, you MUST supply your own OpenAI API key. You can see how to generate one here. I would love to be able to provide a key for everyone to use, but unfortunately, I am poor 😅

"loop": {
  "loop.openaiApiKey": "REQUIRED: enter you OpenAI API key here",
  "loop.model": "by default it's gpt-3.5-turbo, but you can select gpt-4 if you are enrolled in their beta",
}
