Thank you for creating a documentation for this extension (!)

How can we start debugging ?

Debug

How do you debug an Extension?

Nothing appears to happen when creating an extension on Windows - silently disappears

Hey,

I realize of course that it says "Untested on Windows" - I thought perhaps this could be the first step towards changing that. :)

So I go to a fresh directory on my PC, type "code ." to start the editor, then ctrl-shift-p and select the "Create a new CC Extension" command. I am asked for the extension ID in the "reverse domain" format (I enter com.example.test and press enter), then the extension name (I enter test, then enter) and that was the last thing to happen, apparently.

I can't find anything in the Problems / Output / Debug Console windows - they're completely empty, even if I open them before running the "Create a new CC Extension" command.

I am a user of VS Code, far from a plugin developer, but I am interested in helping with trying to figure out what goes wrong here.

Any hints on steps I could try to attempt to locate the reason for this?

Thanks!

extension creator: create a new cc extension returrn nothing

I installed and call extension.createExtension on VSCode, but at the step "choose a template to use for the extension" and chosen the topcoat, VSCode seems to have no action. Can you help me solve it?

How to use

Hi
i installed the extension but can not find a way to use it.
Can you explain this a bit more?

Thanks

How does debugging work?

I copied the launch.json into my VS Code work folder. When I launch I can see my extension in After Effects. But how can I really debug it? I created a new extension using the topcoat template. I added a second alert message in the hostscript.jsx file and set a breakpoint on it. How can I make this work? Thanks for your advice :-)

Command failed to execute DebugMode

Greetings,
I received the following error when executing the "Extension Creator: Enable CEP Debug Mode":

Running the contributed command: 'extension.enableDebugMode' failed.

In the mean time, one can simply run the Registry Editor, navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\CSXS.9 (in my case it is CSXS.9, yours might be different) and manually change the PlayerDebugMode flag to "1".

Suggestion: Adding prefix for this vscode extension

Hi, thank you for the library.

It would be nice if there's a prefix added just to sort out the functionalities of this extensions with all other installed extensions in VSCode.

Expected outcome: Take for example, the Bookmarks extension:

Debug extension

How I can run my created extension?

Usage

Hi there!
I'm super keen to use this extension, but I can't for the life of me figure out the usage to scaffolding a new CC Extension within VSCode. Where would I find the documentation to do so?
Thanks!
