Syntax highlighting for ClearCase config-spec files
It is possible to use the remote cleartool client with VSCode. To activate, set the configuration vscode-clearcase.remoteCleartool.enable to true. With that set, insert the username to vscode-clearcase.remoteCleartool.webviewUsername. When connecting to the server, the password will be requested. It is stored as long as the VSCode window lives. Alternatively there is a setting for storing the password in the configuration vscode-clearcase.remoteCleartool.webviewPassword.
You can use this extenion in a WSL environment and a windows clearcase installation. Just make sure the configured executeable is the windows one (this is the default). The second important setting is the tempDir value. If you use a windows cleartool binary the temp dir needs to be a windows style path as already set by default. This path needs to be reachable by the windows cleartool executable. Therefor it is not possible to use a wsl linux only path like /tmp/.
If the above settings are correct everything else is handled by the extension transparantly.
If the windows drives are not mounted in the default /mnt/<letter> paths one can use a mapping in the settings
vscode-clearcase.wsl.pathMapping: [
{
"host": "c:\\", "wsl": "/mnt/c",
"host": "d:\\", "wsl": "/external/d"
}
]
A valid ClearCase installation within the system's PATH or a valid executable path setup in the extension preferences value.
