Requirements
Please refer to VS Code's prerequisites.
Differences:
- We require at least node v12 but later versions should work
- We use fnpm to build .deb and .rpm packages
Development Workflow
yarn
yarn vscode
yarn watch # Visit http://localhost:8080 once completed.
To develop inside of an isolated docker container:
./ci/dev/container/exec.sh
root@12345:/code-server# yarn
root@12345:/code-server# yarn vscode
root@12345:/code-server# yarn watch
Any changes made to the source will be live reloaded.
If changes are made to the patch and you've built previously you must manually
reset VS Code then run yarn vscode:patch
.
Some docs are available at ../src/node/app on how code-server works internally.
Build
yarn
yarn vscode
yarn build
yarn build:vscode
yarn release
cd release
yarn --production
node . # Run the built JavaScript with Node.
Now you can make it static and build packages with:
yarn release:static
yarn test:static-release
yarn package
The static release will be in ./release-static
and .deb, .rpm and self-contained release in ./release-packages
.
