On Windows 10, I have MiKTex (as admin) installed and updated. Within VS Code, I have installed the LaTeX Workshop extension, but my document will not compile. I require lualatex, so I have moved that "recipe" to the "first" position in LaTeX Workshop's .json file, but compiling throws the message Recipe terminated with error. Looking at the console shows Undefined control sequence with my document's file path c:\Users\...etc... -- this is relating to the first line of the document [1,1] where I have the typical \documentclass[12pt]{article}.
It seems that the extension isn't able to locate the Path to the LaTeX executables...does this sound right? It is almost like it is looking in my files own directory for the LaTeX classes and packages, etc. In my Windows System Environment Variables, the path to C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\ seems to be correctly configured. Oddly, if I try to compile using pdflatex, it does not seem to encounter this specific issue (rather showing the error that I need to use lualatex, which I am trying to do).
Has anyone had this issue, or knows a way to fix it?
1: It might be some problem related to "pdftex vs pdflatex"... Now I have the same but looking for the solution... (Win10; VSCode + Latex Workshop extension; WSL2; TexLive 2020 on Ubuntu 20.04;)
2: I've found something... in: "latex-workshop.latex.tools"
{
"name": "pdflatex",
"command": "pdftex",
"args": [
"-synctex=1",
"-interaction=nonstopmode",
"-file-line-error",
"%DOC%"
],
"env": {}
},
I changed "command": "pdftex" to "command": "pdflatex"
Now it is working.
Make sure you got TeX Live installed. The installation takes some time, but as you've installed it, it should work.
I've come across a few posts online but still befuddled and nothing concrete. Maybe someone can decode the below for me, seems like they figured it out but I've never made a plugin before so not sure where to start. Maybe can outline a file structure and I can take it from there? Thanks in advance

I could not get plugins to load using the external url method, but loading plugins locally works.
You need to create a new plugin
mkdir -p ~/.c9/plugins/myPlugin/snippets;
cd ~/.c9/plugins/myPlugin/snippets;
printf '# scope: javascript\nsnippet test\n\tif (${1:true}) {\n\t\t${2}\n\t}\n\t$0' > javascript.snippets;
echo '{"name":"myPlugin", "plugins": {}}' > ../package.json
Then open your init script (click on AWS Cloud9 > Open Your Init Script in the menu bar) and add code for loading the plugin
services["language.complete"] = services["languageComplete"];
services.pluginManager.loadPackage([
"~/.c9/plugins/myPlugin/package.json",
])
To add more snippets edit ~/.c9/plugins/myPlugin/snippets/javascript.snippets
NOTE: snippet file needs to be indented with tabs not spaces
I pieced this together from the two links below.

Is it possible to add custom code snippets in Visual Studio Code? And if so, how? VSCode is based on Atom, so it should be possible.
Hit > shift + command + p and type snippets
Select Preferences: Configure User Snippets
Choose the language type for which you want to add the custom snippet in the vscode inputbox
vscode has comments to explain on how to add a snippet, as described on :> vsdoc or you can follow the next link with a short guide:
Lets say, we want to open custom snippets for the language GO. Then we can do:
Hit > command + p
Type: go.json + enter And you land on the custom snippet page
Snippets are defined in a JSON format and stored in a per-user (languageId).json file. For example, Markdown snippets go in a markdown.json file.
Using tools:
Snippet Generator extension (recommended)
Online snippet generator
Option 1 - Use the Snippet Generator extension.
It supports code to JSON conversion with optional scope support and space to \t conversion.
Demo:
Option 2 - Another extension is snippet-creator (deprecated).
After installing it, all you have to do is to :
Select the code that you want to make a snippet.
Right-click on it and select "Command Palette"(or Ctrl+Shift+P).
Write "Create Snippet".
Choose the type of files needed to be watched to trigger your snippet shortcut.
Choose a snippet shortcut.
Choose a snippet name.
Option 3 - check this website. you can generate snippets for vs code, sublime text, and atom.
Once snippet being generated on this site. Go to the respective IDE's snippet file and paste the same. For example for a JS snippet in VS code go to File->preference->user snippet then it opens javascript.json file then paste the snippet code from an above site inside this and we are good to go.
As of version 0.10.6 you can add custom snippets. Read the documentation on Creating your Own Snippets.
You can find/create custom snippets by placing the json file in C:\Users\<yourUserName>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\snippets.
For example, a custom javascript snippets would be in a \snippets\javascript.json
You can also publish you snippets which is a really neat feature as well. John Papa created a nice angular + typescript snippet you can download as an extension in the marketplace.
Here is an example snippet taken for the documentation on a javascript for loop:
"For Loop": {
"prefix": "for",
"body": [
"for (var ${index} = 0; ${index} < ${array}.length; ${index}++) {",
"\tvar ${element} = ${array}[${index}];",
"\t$0",
"}"
],
"description": "For Loop"
},
Where
For Loop is the snippet name
prefix defines a prefix used in the IntelliSense drop down. In this case for.
body is the snippet content.
Possible variables are:
$1, $2 for tab stops
${id} and ${id:label} and ${1:label} for variables
Variables with the same id are connected.
description is the description used in the
IntelliSense drop down
You can check out this video for a quick short tutorial

Go to File --> Preferences --> User Snippets. Select your preferred language.
Now type the following code to make a for loop snippet:
"Create for loop":{
"prefix": "for",
"body":[
"for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)",
"{",
" //code goes here",
"}"
],
"description": "Creates a for loop"
}
You are done.
Type "for" in the editor and use the first prediction.
SHORTCUT
install snippet-creator extension (now deprecated).
Highlight the code that you need to make snippet.
press ctrl+shift+P and type "Create snippet" on the command palette and
press ENTER.
select language for which you want to create snippet(eg:-CPP), then type
snippet name, type snippet shortcut and then type snippet description.
You are now good to go.
Type the snippet shortcut in the editor that you entered in step 4, and select the prediction (if no prediction comes press ctrl+space) that comes first.
Hope this helps :)
Note: goto File->Preferences->User Snippets. Then select the language in which youcreated the snippet. You will find the snippet there.
You can add custom scripts, go to File --> Preferences --> User Snippets. Select your preferred language.
If you choose Javascript you can see default custom script for console.log(' '); like this:
"Print to console": {
"prefix": "log",
"body": [
"console.log('$1');",
"$2"
],
"description": "Log output to console"
},
There's a VSCode Plugin called: snippet-creator (now deprecated).
After installing it , all you have to do is to:
Select the code that you want to make it a snippet.
Right click on it and select "Command Palette"(or Ctrl+Shift+P).
Write "Create Snippet".
Choose type of files needed to be watched to trigger your snippet shortcut.
Choose a snippet shortcut.
Choose a snippet name.
That's All.
Note : if you want to edit your snippets , you will find them in [fileType].json
Example : Ctrl+P , then select "javascript.json"
I tried by adding snippets in javascriptreact.json but it didn't worked for me.
I tried adding snippets into global scope, and it's working like charm.
FILE --> Preferences --> User snippets
here select New Global Snippets File, give name javascriptreact.code-snippets.
For other languages you can name like [your_longuage].code-snippets
This is an undocumented feature as of now but is coming soon. There is a folder you can add them to and they will appear, but it may change (its undocumented for a reason).
Best advice is to add this to the uservoice site and wait til its final. But it is coming.
On MacOS:
Open the VSCode
Code -> Preferences -> User Snippets
Search for "python" (or any language)
Write your snippet like this:
{
"Write pdb": {
"prefix": "pdb",
"body": [
"import pdb; pdb.set_trace()",
"$2"
],
"description": "Write pdb.set_trace() to debug Python scripts"
}
}
Save the file with command + S.
VSCode introduce this in version 0.5, see here.
Snippet syntax follows the TextMate snippet syntax and can write in User Preferences.
If you'd rather not deal with writing your snippets in JSON, check out Snipster. It lets you write snippets as you would write the code itself - not having to wrap each line in quotes, escape characters, add meta information, etc.
It also lets you write once, publish anywhere. So you can use your snippet in VS Code, Atom, and Sublime, plus more editors in the future.
This may not be a real answer (as some have answered above), but if you're interested in creating custom code snippets for other people, you can create extensions using yeoman and npm (which by default comes along with NodeJS) . NOTE: This is only for creating snippets for other's systems. But it also works for you too! Except you need JS code for whole thing.
You can add custom scripts, go to File --> Preferences --> User Snippets. Select your preferred language.
Like mine code is go, I do it as below:
"channel code": {
"prefix": "make_",
"body": [
"${1:variable} := make(chan ${2:type}, ${3:channel_length})",
"$4"
]
}
explanation: $1 will take your tabs & to give hints what are those tabs values, we make it like ${1:some_variable} which could give us hints what are those
I hope, it helps!
I have a simple dart class I am trying to test.
To test it I need to open a txt file, feed the content to an instance of the class and check that the output is correct.
Where do I place this txt file? The txt file is useless outside of testing.
Also, related, how do I acess its directory consistently? I tried placing it in the test folder, but the problem is that:
System.currentDirectory
Returns a different directory if I am running the test on its own or the script calling all the other test dart files on at a time
I check if System.currentDirectory is the directory containing the pubspec.yaml file, if not I move the current directory upwards until I found the directory containing the pubpsec.yaml file and then continue with the test code.
Looks like package https://pub.dev/packages/resource is also suitable for this now.
I have still not found a definitive answer to this question. I've been looking for something similar to the testdata directory in Go and the src/test/resources directory in Java.
I'm using Android studio and have settled on using a test_data.dart file at the top of my test directory. In there I define my test data (mostly JSON) and then import it into my individual tests. This doesn't help if you need to deal with binary files but it has been useful for my JSON data. I'll also inject the JSON language with //language=json so I can open the fragment in a separate window to format.
//language=json
const consolidatedWeatherJson = '''{
"consolidated_weather": [
{
"id": 4907479830888448,
"weather_state_name": "Showers",
"weather_state_abbr": "s",
"wind_direction_compass": "SW",
"created": "2020-10-26T00:20:01.840132Z",
"applicable_date": "2020-10-26",
"min_temp": 7.9399999999999995,
"max_temp": 13.239999999999998,
"the_temp": 12.825,
"wind_speed": 7.876886316914553,
"wind_direction": 246.17046093256732,
"air_pressure": 997.0,
"humidity": 73,
"visibility": 11.037727173307882,
"predictability": 73
}
]
}
''';
Using the Alt + Enter key combination will bring up the Edit JSON Fragment option. Selecting that open the fragment in a new editor and any changes made there (formatting for example) will be updated in the fragment.
Not perfect but it solves my issues.
I am trying to use the LOVE graphics library for Lua, and use Sublime text 2 to write in. The LOVE website says i can use this code:
{
"selector": "source.lua",
"cmd": ["C:/Program Files/LOVE/love.exe", "$file_path"],
"shell": true
}
to create a build system that will allow me to run my scripts directly from inside Sumblime text. but when i use this build system with ctrl+B it says:
" 'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
it is stopping at the space in "Program Files". how do i stop it doing this?
The problem is the space in the filename that is being wrongly used as a parameter delimiter.
Depending on your environment you can either double quote the executable name or use dir /x to get the short (8.3) filename for the path.
You can just move "LOVE" directory in C Drive like
C:\LOVE
It will work.
