Installing Cadl to project local path

This sample shows how to install Cadl locally to a project and have the VS Code extension use its locally installed language server.

See cadl.cadl-server.path in .vscode/settings.json and @cadl-lang/compiler dev dependency in package.json.

Steps

1. Install Cadl to project:

npm install --save-dev @cadl-lang/compiler

2. Configure path in VS Code

• File -> Preferences

• Search for Cadl

• Click on Workspace tab

• Set cadl.cadl-server.path to ${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/@cadl-lang/compiler

  (NOTE: If the Cadl project is not at the root of the workspace, adjust the path accordingly. For example, ${workspaceFolder}/path/from/workspace/to/project/node_modules/@cadl-lang/compiler)

3. Commit settings.json and package.json changes
