Hi everyone,

I just released a new version of my Visual Studio Code extension "code-d"

The last release was 2 years ago so really it will feel like a brand new extension to everyone who has only used the stable serve-d release (and not nightly or beta) before.

Along with usual updates and improvements to DCD, DScanner and dfmt this release comes with:

• single file editing support
• New walkthrough & compiler installer for new users (installing D has never been easier before!)
• Updated auto completion UI (big thanks to RUSshy)
• new smart snippets
• much improved debugging support
• project building improvements
• error/linting improvements
• new auto fix suggestions
• better integration of D-Scanner
• better integrated ddoc viewer
• new highlight provider
• workspace trust support (run serve-d securely in untrusted workspaces)

...and much more

get it now for VSCode from

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=webfreak.code-d
https://open-vsx.org/extension/webfreak/code-d
https://github.com/Pure-D/code-d/releases/tag/v0.23.0

Fun fact: in a week is code-d's 6th Birthday, meaning I nearly had this project ongoing for a quarter of my life now, lol

If you are not a VSCode user, this release also did a new stable release for serve-d, so other LSP compatible editors (there are new guides in the repository) can be used as well.

Thank you so much for your work on this extension.

By chance, do you consider to make your extension compatible for vscode.dev ?

Kind regards
Andre

vscode.dev might take some work to get working properly. Meanwhile you can already use gitpod.io, there is also a template here: https://github.com/Pure-D/code-d-gitpod (though it needs some updating now)

Nvm about my previous message, there are no issues, i was using a local version of serve-d

Congrats on release! it's finally here!

One little issue i found:

For functions all fine

But for variables, the type is only visible when the line is selected in the completion box

Can VIM be supported? Many programmers program with VIM.

serve-d (the underlying LSP server) is supported with ycmd: https://github.com/Pure-D/serve-d/blob/master/editor-vim.md

You can also search for other LSP clients for your editor if you don't like ycmd, it should work with any of them.

for nvim with coc's I do

{
	"languageserver": {
		"d": {
			"command": "/home/burner/.dub/packages/serve-d-0.7.0/serve-d/serve-d",
			"filetypes": ["d"],
			"trace.server": "on",
			"rootPatterns": ["dub.json", "dub.sdl"],
			"initializationOptions": {
			},
			"settings": {
			}
		}
	},
	"suggest.autoTrigger": "none",
	"suggest.noselect": false
}

Which works very nicely.
