We published a WarpScript Plugin for VSCode. This is the best way to author WarpScript.

How it works

First, install the plugin in VSCode (More info), then launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), copy paste this command :

ext install senx.warpscript-language

Main features

• Syntax highlighting
• Code completion
• Remote execution (command Ctrl+Shift+P > “Run WarpScript” or Ctrl+Alt+E) or “Exec WS” button
• Remote execution for code selected (command Ctrl+Shift+P > “Run WarpScript on selection” or Ctrl+Alt+A)
• Hover definition and help
• Workspace macros (@workspace/relative/path/to/macro/file the linked file containing a macro)
• Clickable links to navigate between workspace macros
• Snippets
  • macro
  • mapper
  • bucketize
  • reduce
  • filter
  • apply
• Embedded Warpview Dataviz
• Embedded base 64 image viewer (visible only if returned JSON contains at least one base64 image)
• WarpScript execution history in output window using the format (files are clickable):
  • [EXEC_START_DATE] file:///os_temp_dir/executed_warpscript.mc2 => file:///os_temp_dir/result.json exec_time fetched_data op_count main_filename.mc2 endpoint
  • [EXEC_START_DATE] ERROR /path/to/script/in/error.mc2:error_line reason_of_failure
• WarpScript and resulting JSON are sent gzipped between the client and the server

Tips

• To slow down autocompletion, you can use VSCode built in configuration editor.quickSuggestionsDelay
• // @endpoint http://xxx/api/v0/exec at the beginning of the script change the remote execution endpoint
• // @localmacrosubstitution false at the beginning of the script deactivate the local macro substitution
• // @preview none at the beginning of the script disable the preview. GTS or image force the focus to the GTS or image preview after execution.
• In your settings.json you can add “proxy.pac“: “/path/to/your/proxy.pac” for this extension to use proxy.pac rules to connect directly or through SOCKS proxies depending on the selected endpoint.
• You can set the VSCode default language to warpscript (Ctrl+, search for default language settings). Every new file (Ctrl+N) will be considered as a WarpScript.

Graph interactions

• Alt + Mouse wheel : Zoom
• Click + Drag : Select to zoom
• Shift + Click : Pan
• Double Click : Restore zoom

Now, it is easier to code with WarpScript. Happy coding.
