Development Environment
Dev Container
Install Docker. Once installed, a clean dev environment with a Docker container native to VSCode is spun up automatically.
- Command palette (โงโP) > Dev Containers: Reopen in Container
- F5 for debug
- May need to select interpreter (e.g.,
/opt/venv/bin/python
) first
- May need to select interpreter (e.g.,
VSCode Extensions (Dev Container)
- Atom Keymap
- Bash IDE
- Better Comments
- Docker
- EditorConfig
- GitHub Copilot
- GitHub Copilot Chat
- gitignore
- GitLens
- Markdown All in One
- MS Visual Studio Live Share
- Python
- Shellcheck
Manual Docker Instance
If VSCode isn't present or only the python portion (cf. __init__.py
) is being worked on, it's possible to just run a Docker container on its own. The container installs the correct version of python and any dependencies (e.g., ipython, rich) in requirements.txt
.
# navigate to directory with Dockerfile
cd .devcontainer/
# build image
docker build -t nonsteamlaunchers .
# run container
docker run -it --rm --name=mynonsteamlaunchers --workdir=/app -v $(pwd):/app nonsteamlaunchers bash
# exit container
exit
Python virtual environment
Useful for the python module(s), but extra compared to the dev container portion that covers the core shell script.
# create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# install dependencies
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Additional tooling
Additional tooling includes but is not limited to:
asdf
- Install asdf
- Usage
# add python plugin asdf plugin-add python # install stable python asdf install python <latest|3.11.4> # set stable to system python asdf global python latest # add poetry asdf plugin asdf plugin-add poetry https://github.com/asdf-community/asdf-poetry.git # install latest version via asdf asdf install poetry <latest|1.5.1> # set latest version as default asdf global poetry latest
shellcheck
.shellcheckrc
excludes various bash language rules. Useful to control noise vs. legitimate warnings/errors when using the shellcheck extension.
