VSCode integration for code composer studio

Madhurya,

What crashes?

If I right click on a source file I can select "Open With -> Other"

I then selected "External Programs".  VS Code was not in the list for me so I clicked on browse and then selected the executable for the application.  It then shows up like this:

I clicked OK and then the file opened in VS Code.  I can check the box for it to do this for all *.c files.

However I find it does not always open the files in VS Code.  For the next file I find that I have to right click on it in the project explorer and select to use VS Code.  After doing that a couple times it then seems to remember.  On Windows this may say "Code" for you instead of "Visual Studio Code" as the name of the executable is different.

If you like the VS Code interface another option is to use the new CCS Cloud on https://dev.ti.com.  It is based on Eclipse Theia which uses the same editor as VS Code.

Regards,

John

Hi John,
Sorry for the late reply! Still crashes on windows :/ I think it is a VS code issue. Here are more details on my setup-

OS: Windows

VSCODE version:1.61.2

CCS version : 10.4.0.00006 

Best Regards,

Madhurya,

Sorry I don't think I can help with this as it is VS Code crashing.

You may want to just create a project in VS Code that has the same source files as your CCS project.  Then when debugging the files are open in CCS and when you are editing you just use VS Code.  When you save files in VS Code, CCS will detect the file change and reload.

The other option I mentioned was to use CCS Cloud on dev.ti.com which has an option to use a Theia based environment.  This is the same editor as VS Code.

John
