Configuration

To override default configurations in VSCode settings

• gauge.launch.enableDebugLogs: Starts gauge lsp server with log-level debug, defaults to false
• gauge.execution.debugPort: Debug port, defaults to 9229
• gauge.notification.suppressUpdateNotification: Stops notifications for gauge-vscode plugin auto-updates, defaults to false
• gauge.create.specification.withHelp: Create specification template with help comments, defaults to true

Run and Debug configuration

To specify the execution options for the tests, add a "type":"gauge" entry with "request":"test" to launch.json. The options of the gage run command are available as properties of the entry. For Maven and Gradle plugins, the corresponding arguments are supported. If there are multiple "request":"test" entries in launch.json, the first definition will be used.

Install from source

$ npm run build

This will create gauge-<version>.vsix file which can be installed via VScode's Install from VSIX.

Note: Manually delete the Gauge extension folder from VSCode extensions folder for a successful uninstallation of VSCode extension

Troubleshooting

If gauge features are not activated, check file associations for .spec and .cpt it maybe used by another plugin. To fix this, add this to user settings

"files.associations": {
	"*.spec": "gauge",
	"*.cpt": "gauge"
}
