That's a shame as it would be so useful. I found a thread on stackoverflow and it seems it can be programmed info extensions

It’s totally feasible, but needs to be added to the extension.
I think that vscode has a standard way to do this, but I must investigate.

If some of you are interested in contributing, you are welcome!
I think there are two main features that will greatly contribute to the experience:
- setting conditional breakpoints (the gdbremote protocol is a complicated to send this informations)
- adding the profiling options as the bartman extension

Before diving in these big works, I work for some little features as your request.

Hahahah sorry I misread your post as "added this feature"

[prb28]

@BippyM, Here is a pre-release for tests https://github.com/prb28/vscode-amig...s/tag/pre_0.22
Download the VSIX file.

To install type F1 and select "Extensions: install from VSIX..."


You will find a new build sequence in the terminal (no more output quest) and the variable format modification by right click.
And certainly some new bugs !


Be careful there are some breaking changes in the tasks and launch configuration to stop the debug if the build does not succeed.

Hope it will help you in your quest of mastering assembly !

Will give this a go soon work has been hectic

So erm..

How does this work??? I have it installed. Winuae just flashes up and closes. FSUae runs, but there's nothing when disassembling.

I'll give you a link to a zipped working workspace, that will help.
Just fixing a bug before.

Try this workspace : https://github.com/prb28/vscode-amig...indows_x64.zip
The amiga-assembly-0.22.0.vsix extension is inside. You have to install it in you vscode.

I just installed the whole lot in a few minutes and getting the sample app running in the debugger.

It's just incredible. I could achieve some debugging using a gdb server (Bebbo's) and another IDE but it was difficult to configure and ended up not working anymore. Now all integrated like this it's just great (and the sample app is all I was looking for too)

A few remarks

- The first time, WinUAE "rom loaded" popup blocks the execution and the debugger fails. Click on OK => fixed

- in the debugger, all commands (including help) return as json output. Not very convenient. VS code upgrade? See the result of "bt":

bt
{"output":["#0  0x00c0b426 in WaitVbl () at K:/jff/data/C++/games/AmigaTest/main.c:50\n","#1  main () at K:/jff/data/C++/games/AmigaTest/main.c:301\n"],"token":23,"outOfBandRecord":[],"resultRecords":{"resultClass":"done","results":[]}}

anyway, FREAKING AWESOME THIS!

I've never seen these... and your source is in C.

Aren't you using the Bartman C extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=BartmanAbyss.amiga-debug#review-details) for visual studio code ?
It's really awesome I agree with you but it's not the same .

[jotd]

of course I'm using Bartman extension. Else I wouldn't be able to create a sample app & debug it.
anyway, I could develop whole games without debugging. I can handle a few formatting annoyances.

I have dupicated my workspace in the hopes of starting a new project.. However whenever I try and build I get the error below:

ALso I want to have multiple projects using just the one install. What is the best way to go about this?

As in I don't want the bin/include/ folders duplicated in each project, what is the best way to do this?

[BippyM]

Nevermind.. I should read your instructions more closely, fixed

Hi, I've got back to my asm project (ups and downs, lack of time, etc...) after a while, only to discover it won't build/run/debug anymore.

Of course in the meantime VSCode has updated a few times, so maybe something has changed...

1st error: solved reading from issues in github: vasm path had to be put absolute.
2nd error: doesn't build anymore (I have a project with a main source in the root folder, and everything else inside a subdir). Tried to overcome with a custom Makefile and:

             "buildWorkspace": false,

...but unfortunately I can't debug this either. The debug config will launch fs-uae, but nothing else happens (after a few seconds I see the spinning beach ball on a Mac... it seems stuck and I have to stop the debugger).

Any clues? What I really don't understand is why it doesn't build automatically anymore. I am using git source control, and pretty sure I didn't change anything since last time it worked (a couple of months ago...).

Maybe it's a problem os file signing on mac : https://github.com/prb28/vscode-amig...working-on-osx

Not sure if it's related but VS Code 1.56.1 gets stuck trying to launch my program on Windows with extension 0.21.1.

Rolling back to 1.55.2 works fine.
