Description

The vscode module installs and manages microsoft's visualstudio code, it's extensions, and user preference settings on Windows systems.

visualstudio code is an ide used by developers to write code.

Setup

Setup Requirements

The vscode module requires the following:

  • Puppet Agent 4.0 or later.
  • Access to the internet.
  • Windows Server 8 and up.

Beginning with vscode

NOTE: The vscode class currently only works on windows.

To get started with the vscode module simply include the following in your manifest:

class { 'vscode':
    package_ensure => 'present',
}

This example downloads and installs vscode version 1.12.2. After running this you be have visual studio code installed and ready to go.

A more advanced configuration including all attributes available:

class { 'vscode':
   package_ensure                => 'present',
   vscode_download_url           => 'https://company-name.s3.amazonaws.com/binaries/vscode-latest.exe',
   vscode_download_absolute_path => 'C:\\Windows\\Temp',
   create_desktop_icon           => true,
   create_quick_launch_icon      => true,
   create_context_menu_files     => true,
   create_context_menu_folders   => true,
   add_to_path                   => true,
   icon_theme                    => 'vs-seti',
   color_theme                   => 'Monokai Dimmed',
 }

The above is just an example of the flexibility you have with this module. You will generally never need to specify every or even so many parameters as shown since the defaults for installation apply almost every feature available during install time. The one parameter you might use is the vscode_download_url. This will allow you to another http url to download vscode from that is not pinned to version 1.12.2 like this module from microsoft's visualstudio code download page.

Usage

Install vscode an extension

Lets look at an example of installing visual studio code along with installing a plugin to help you with puppet development

class { 'vscode':
    package_ensure => 'present',
}

vscode_extension { 'jpogran.puppet':
  ensure  => 'present',
  require => Class['vscode'],
}

Uninstall a vscode extension

class { 'vscode':
    package_ensure => 'present',
}

vscode_extension { 'jpogran.puppet':
  ensure  => 'absent',
  require => Class['vscode'],
}

Customize color them and icon theme

class { 'vscode':
    package_ensure => 'present',
    color_theme    => 'Monokai Dimmed',
    icon_theme     => 'vs-seti',
}
