The kube-scope-weave extension add Weave Scope functionality to the core VS Code Kubernetes extension experience.

Features

Scope is a tool for visualizing and interacting with your Kubernetes applications that works against any Kubernetes cluster. This extension, which depends upon the VS Code Kubernetes extension for core Kubernetes support, enables:

• installing Weave Scope using the Helm stable Weave Scope chart.
• opening Scope to the appropriate context at:
  • Cluster
  • Node
  • Namespace
  • Service
  • Pod

How to run

1. First of all, get all the prerequisites:
   • Helm + Tiller
   • VS Code Kubernetes extension - its API is used to create new behavior inside the core Kubernetes experience without having to rewrite any Kubernetes client
2. Clone this repo and run npm install to have all the dependencies installed
3. Open the project in VS Code and hit F5 to run a new instance with Scope plugin support
4. Run Scope: Install Weave Scope command (bring the command panel up with Ctrl+Shift+P)
5. Now open the Kubernetes extension - the Open Weave Scope action should appear in the dropdown when right-clicking on the cluster or some of the individual K8s resources

See the this doc for more information on how to run and test VS Code extensions.

Known Issues

• Detection of existing Scope installations is done by looking for the frontend endpoint in the current namespace. If it cannot be found, a new installation is created.
• Currently, the default namespace is used in the Kubernetes extension. This will be a selection in the future.
