Extension development

[anoblet]

Does anyone have any resources on how I can help with extension development? The farthest I've gotten is local/codespaces building/packaging with a new vsix. How do I use the vsix, to replace the official extension and use console.log or something similar to help diagnose?

I'll write the docs about it. Basically when you open the repo in vscode, start a debugging session and select "samples". It will start a second VS instance with the extension loaded.

The first vs instance will be in debugger mode and you will see the console output.
