Developing

CONTRIBUTING.md

To debug core editor issues.

This can be done directly from the VS Code repository and does not involve the monaco editor repository.

  • Clone the VS Code repository: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

  • Open the repository in VS Code: code vscode

  • Run yarn install

  • Select and run the launch configuration "Monaco Editor Playground" (this might take a while, as it compiles the sources):

  • Now you can set breakpoints and change the source code

  • Optionally, you can build monaco-editor-core and link it to the monaco editor repository:

    # builds out-monaco-editor-core
> yarn gulp editor-distro

> cd out-monaco-editor-core
> npm link
> cd ../path/to/monaco-editor

# symlinks the monaco-editor-core package to the out-monaco-editor-core folder we just built
> npm link monaco-editor-core
