Introduction

collective.recipe.vscode is the buildout recipe for Visual Studio Code lover who wants python autocomplete and intelliSense features while developing python Buildout based project, normally buildout eggs are not available in python path even if you provide virtualenv python path. This tool will help not only adding eggs path as python extraPath but also you can manage per project basis vscode settings for linter, autoformatting.

A general question may arise that why we will use this tool, whether we can create Visual Studio Code project settings easily (we have better knowledge over Visual Studio Code configuration)? Well i completely agree with you, but if you want to get benefited from Visual Studio Code autocompletion feature (basically I am lover of autocompletion), you have to add all eggs links and it is hard to manage eggs links manually if the size of project is big (think about any Plone powered project), beside it is good practice allways use project specific linter path. For example my global flake8 linter doesn’t work for my python3 project!

Installation

Install collective.recipe.vscode is simple enough, just need to create a section for vscode to your buildout. Before using collective.recipe.vscode, if you are going to use linter feature, make those are added in eggs section or globally installed.

Example Buildout:

[buildout]
parts += vscode

[vscode]
recipe = collective.recipe.vscode
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
flake8-enabled = True
flake8-path = ${buildout:directory}/bin/flake8
black-enabled = True
black-args = ----line-length 88

Available Options

eggs

Required: Yes

Default: None

Your project’s list of eggs, those are going to be added as extra path for autocomplete and intelliSense.

python-path

Required: No

Default: collective.recipe.vscode will find current python executable path.

The python executable path for current project, if you are using virtual environment then should be that python path. FYI: ${home} and ${project} variable should work.

flake8-enabled

Required: No

Default: False

Flag that indicates flake8 based linting.

flake8-path

Required: No

Default: try to find flake8 executable path automatically.

flake8-args

Required: No

Default: “”

pylint-enabled

Required: No Default: False

pylint-path

Required: No

Default: try to find pylint executable path automatically.

pylint-args

Required: No

Default:

pep8-enabled

Required: No

Default: False

pep8-path

Required: No

Default: try to find pep8 executable path automatically.

pep8-args

Required: No

Default: “”

jedi-enabled

autocomplete-use-omelette

Required: No

Default: False

black-enabled

Required: No

black-path

Required: No

Default: try to find black executable path automatically.

You could provide buildout specific black executable. It is very flexible way to avoid using global pylint. Example of relative path usecase: i.) ${buildout:directory}/bin/black ii.) $project_path/bin/black iii.) ./bin/black iv.) ~/path/bin/black

black-args

Required: No

Default: ‘’

isort-enabled

Required: No

Default: False

isort-path

Default: ‘’

ignore-develop

Required: No

If you don’t want development eggs, should go for autocompletion.

ignores

Required: No

Default: “”

If you want specific eggs should not go for autocompletion.

packages

Required: No

Example Usage

Install vscode recipe with stndard settings:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... develop =
...     %(test_dir)s/develop/vscodetest_pkg1
... eggs =
...     vscodetest_pkg1
...     zc.recipe.egg
...     zc.buildout
... parts = vscode
...
... [vscode]
... recipe = collective.recipe.vscode
... packages = %(test_dir)s/Products
... ignore-develop = False
... eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
... flake8-enabled = True
... flake8-path = ${buildout:directory}/bin/flake8
... black-enabled = True
... black-path = $project_path/bin/black
... black-args = --line-length 88
...              --skip-string-normalization
... """ % globals())
>>> output_lower = system(buildout + ' -c buildout.cfg').lower()
>>> "installing vscode." in output_lower
True
>>> 'tests/develop/vscodetest_pkg1' in output_lower
True
>>> ls(sample_buildout)
-  .installed.cfg
d  .vscode
d  bin
-  buildout.cfg
d  develop-eggs
d  eggs
d  parts
<BLANKLINE>
>>> import json
>>> import os
>>> from collective.recipe.vscode.recipes import mappings
>>> settings_dir = os.path.join(sample_buildout, ".vscode")
>>> vsc_settings = json.loads(read(settings_dir, 'settings.json'))
>>> len(vsc_settings[mappings['autocomplete-extrapaths']]) == 4
True
>>> mappings['flake8-enabled'] in vsc_settings
True
>>> vsc_settings[mappings['formatting-provider']] == "black"
True

VS Code settings with all default options::

>>> os.unlink(os.path.join(settings_dir, 'settings.json'))
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... develop =
...     %(test_dir)s/develop/vscodetest_pkg1
... eggs =
...     vscodetest_pkg1
...     zc.recipe.egg
... parts = vscode
...
... [vscode]
... recipe = collective.recipe.vscode
... eggs = ${buildout:eggs}
... """ % globals())
>>> output = system(buildout + ' -c buildout.cfg').lower()
>>> vsc_settings = json.loads(read(settings_dir, 'settings.json'))
>>> mappings['flake8-path'] not in vsc_settings
True
>>> len(vsc_settings[mappings['autocomplete-extrapaths']]) == 3
True
