Developing HERON in VSCode

VSCode has become a very popular development environment for cross-platform developers, with many useful features. While HERON has no direct affiliation with VSCode, some frequently requested resources are placed here in case they are of benefit.

This is a work in progress, please request additional entries if you see something missing.

Run Configurations

You can set up debugging RUN configurations for HERON. An example is included here for user talbpw. Note that you'll have to change paths for the specific files you want to run in the args section of each configuration.

To get to the configurations, in VSCode, go under "Run" then "Open Configurations."
