This extension brings the Vyper smart contract language for Ethereum to Visual Studio Code (a mix between editor and IDE). Like Vyper itself (and even more so) this extension is alpha software and should just be used to toy around with vyper. Compatibility with later versions cannot be guaranteed.
This extension is basically the result of hacking the Python highlighting support together with the ability to call command line tools from the Go extension and displaying the results of the StdError in a user-friendly way.
- Provides the
Vyper: Build Contractcommand that when called on a saved file shows the actual build errors. - Syntax Higlighting for Vyper (*.vy, *.v.py) files inclusive Vyper specific types like
int128. - Build on Save
Vyper for VS Code in action:
Visual Studio Code 1.2 or later
Requires a virtual Vyper 0.0.3 env to be set up exactly as described in the Vyper tutorial.
This means that the folder ~/vyper-venv/bin should contain a python and a vyper executable.
The path to the virtual Python environment can be set in the User Settings (Ctrl+Shift+P) + 'Open User Settings' via the vyper.virtualEnvPath variable.
The 'Build on Save' feature can be disabled with the vyper.buildOnSave setting property.
This extension is not published (and maybe never will).
