1# Welcome to your VS Code Extension

3## What's in the folder
4
5* This folder contains all of the files necessary for your extension.
6* `package.json` - this is the manifest file in which you declare your extension and command.
7 * The sample plugin registers a command and defines its title and command name. With this information VS Code can show the command in the command palette. It doesn’t yet need to load the plugin.
8* `src/extension.ts` - this is the main file where you will provide the implementation of your command.
9 * The file exports one function, `activate`, which is called the very first time your extension is activated (in this case by executing the command). Inside the `activate` function we call `registerCommand`.
10 * We pass the function containing the implementation of the command as the second parameter to `registerCommand`.
11
12## Get up and running straight away
13
14* Press `F5` to open a new window with your extension loaded.
15* Run your command from the command palette by pressing (`Ctrl+Shift+P` or `Cmd+Shift+P` on Mac) and typing `Hello World`.
16* Set breakpoints in your code inside `src/extension.ts` to debug your extension.
17* Find output from your extension in the debug console.
18
19## Make changes
20
21* You can relaunch the extension from the debug toolbar after changing code in `src/extension.ts`.
22* You can also reload (`Ctrl+R` or `Cmd+R` on Mac) the VS Code window with your extension to load your changes.

24## Explore the API
25
26* You can open the full set of our API when you open the file `node_modules/@types/vscode/index.d.ts`.

28## Run tests
29
30* Install the [Extension Test Runner]https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.extension-test-runner
31* Run the "watch" task via the **Tasks: Run Task** command. Make sure this is running, or tests might not be discovered.
32* Open the Testing view from the activity bar and click the Run Test" button, or use the hotkey `Ctrl/Cmd + ; A`
33* See the output of the test result in the Test Results view.
34* Make changes to `src/test/extension.test.ts` or create new test files inside the `test` folder.
35 * The provided test runner will only consider files matching the name pattern `**.test.ts`.
36 * You can create folders inside the `test` folder to structure your tests any way you want.
