    WebHare extension for Nova

    Experimental WebHare extension for Nova. This extension provides syntax definitions for HareScript and Witty files and a
    language client which connects to a WebHare installation.

    Features

    This extension provides:

    • Syntax highlighting for HareScript and Witty files
    • File diagnostics for HareScript and Witty files and supported XML files
    • Code actions to automatically add missing LOADLIBs and rmove unused LOADLIBs
    • Document formatter for supported XML files
    • Documentation popups on hover
    • Jump to definition
    • A sidebar which can be used to retrieve stack traces
    • A few clips for inserting common code fragments

    Installation

    • Install the dev module in WebHare using wh module get webhare/dev
    • Install runkit by cloning the repository and following the README instructions
    • Install the WebHare extension in Nova through
      the Extension Library (Cmd+Shift+2 or Extensions > Extension Library…)

    Configuration

    The extension can be configured in the extension preferences.

    Options

    Show Documentation Issues

    Check the checkbox to show diagnostics for documentation issues.

    Show Stack Traces For Workspace Only

    Check the checkbox to filter out retrieved stack traces that don't reference files within the current workspace. This setting
    can be overridden in project-specific settings.

    Debug Log Level

    The WebHare lsp module can log debugging information to the debug log with an lsp:server log source value. This setting
    can be used to control the amount of information that is being logged, from 0 (log only errors) to 3 (log everything). This
    is a project-specific setting.

    Language Server Settings

    WebHare Runkit Path

    The path of the runkit binary, defaults to ~/projects/webhare-runkit/bin/runkit.

    Development

    • Clone the webhare-language-nova repository
    • Install the dependencies by running npm install within the repository
    • Start a watch that automatically runs rollup to compile the TypeScript source by running npm run watch within the
      repository
    • Open the repository directory as a project in Nova
    • Activate the project as an extension by choosing Extensions > Activate Project as Extension (if the WebHare extension
      is already installed through the Extension Library, deactivate that extension first)
    • Making any changes to the source files will automatically reload the extension
