development tools • Re: Beta update for BeebAsm VSCode extension

Does this work on Linux or is it Windows-only? My current project is using acme rather than beebasm so I can't really try it now, but if I can overcome my inertia it would probably be good to have a go with this in the future.

Thanks very much for the encouragement! It's been a fun project and the best sort of procrastination when it comes to actually working on Beeb projects

It's designed to be fully cross-platform as we rely solely on JavaScript / TypeScript in the extension. I've tested on Mac and Windows for this version. The only thing about the extension that needs care for Linux/Mac is if you use the build tasks as they reference the Windows .exe versions of BeebAsm and BeebEm but those are fairly easy to switch out.

I agree too! You work on this is much appreciated, the previous updates were a great leap forward.

I'm very used to working with VS Code, BeebASM outputting to BeebEm that moving to another emulator is taking a bit of getting used to... nonetheless, setting break points in the code would be great.

I've followed your guide, but when I type ‘BeebVSC: Create source map’ I get no matching results... everything before that seems to work fine.

I'm using version 0.3.0.

Thanks.

Thanks! You've got the right version for the new functionality, so it's a bit strange it isn't showing up. One guess is if you are clicking in the command palette instead of using the shortcut ctrl-shift-p (or from the menu View -> Command Palette...). I do that by accident far too often.
