Experimental Erlang/OTP Support for Visual Studio Code

This experimental extension provides Erlang/OTP support for Visual Studio Code.

A Whatels server is required to be running for auto completion to work. See VSCode Erlang for an extension without the Whatels dependency (albeit without support for project modules/current module auto completion).

Getting Started

You will need Erlang 18+, a recent version of NodeJS (4.3+) and TypeScript (17.5+) installed. The instructions were tested on Linux and OSX (the extension itself should work on Windows too, but that's not tested).

1. Clone this repository to ~/,vscode/extensions,
2. Run npm install to retrive dependencies,
3. Run tsc to compile the extension,
4. Run Whatels server (see the next section),
5. Set "erlang.enableExperimentalAutoComplete": true in your VSCode settings,
6. Run/Restart VSCode.

Running the Whatels Server

See the instructions and get Whatels at: https://github.com/yuce/whatels
