RALE Support

The extension can automatically inject the TrackerTask.xml and the code snippet required to start the tracker task. To do this you need a few simple things:

• In your VS Code user settings add the brightscript.debug.raleTrackerTaskFileLocation setting. (See Extension Settings for more information)
• Add the entry point comment ' vscode_rale_tracker_entry to your code.
  • This is optional as you can still include the the code to create the tracker task yourself.
  • We recommend adding it to the end of your screen.show() call. For example: screen.show() ' vscode_rale_tracker_entry
  • This can be added anywhere in the channel including source files but it must be on or after the call to screen.show()
• Set the injectRaleTrackerTask value to true in launch.json. For example:

{
  "type": "brightscript",
  "rootDir": "${workspaceFolder}/dist",
  "host": "192.168.1.2",
  "injectRaleTrackerTask": true
}
