VS Code Extension

EVAnalyzer File Support is a VS Code extension for EVAnalyzer’s three JSON-based file formats, developed in the evanalyzer-vscode repository. See Downloads to get the latest release.

Extension	Contents	Schema
.evapipe	Pipeline templates	pipeline_template.schema.json
.evaproj	Project files	Project File Schema
.evapt	Project templates	project_template.schema.json

What it does

Editing

The extension associates all three extensions with VS Code’s built-in JSON language support and registers each one’s JSON Schema, so opening any .evapipe, .evaproj, or .evapt file gives you:

• Syntax highlighting, bracket matching, and code folding
• Red squiggles on invalid fields or values
• Hover documentation pulled from the schema’s descriptions
• Autocomplete for property names and enum values

Creating

Three commands walk the relevant JSON Schema and prompt you only for the fields it actually requires, then write out a valid starter file:

• EVAnalyzer: New Project…
• EVAnalyzer: New Project Template…
• EVAnalyzer: New Pipeline Template…

Run them from the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P), or right-click a folder in the Explorer and choose New EVAnalyzer File. Once the required fields are filled in, the wizard also offers to fill in any optional fields.

Tip

Since the wizard reads the same JSON Schema that EVAnalyzer itself generates (see the Project File Schema reference), a project scaffolded this way is guaranteed to match whatever version of EVAnalyzer produced that schema.

Installation

The extension isn’t published to the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX yet, so install the packaged .vsix directly:

1. Download evanalyzer-file-support-*.vsix from the latest release (also linked from Downloads).

2. Install it:

   code --install-extension evanalyzer-file-support-*.vsix

   Or in VS Code: open the Extensions view, click the … menu, choose Install from VSIX…, and select the downloaded file.

Building from source

To build the extension yourself instead - for example, to try an unreleased change:

git clone https://github.com/evanalyzer/evanalyzer-vscode.git
cd evanalyzer-vscode
npm install
npm run package
code --install-extension evanalyzer-file-support-*.vsix

npm run package type-checks the project, bundles it, runs its test suite, and produces a .vsix file - the same format used for the published release.

Note

Once the extension is published to the Marketplace/Open VSX, this page will be updated with a direct install link.

Requirements

VS Code 1.85.0 or later.
