A Visual Studio Code extension for building, running, and debugging applications on WendyOS devices.
The Wendy extension provides comprehensive integration with the Wendy platform, allowing developers to build, run, and debug Swift applications for WendyOS devices directly from Visual Studio Code. This extension streamlines the development workflow by managing device connections, providing convenient debugging configurations, and offering direct access to Wendy documentation.
- Device Explorer: View and manage your WendyOS devices in the sidebar
- One-Click Device Selection: Easily switch between multiple devices for deployment and debugging (Note: currently only 1 device is supported)
- Auto Discovery: Automatically detect WendyOS devices on your network
- Project Detection: Automatic detection of Swift package projects
- Build and Run: Build and deploy your Swift packages to WendyOS devices with one command
- Task Integration: WendyOS tasks are fully integrated with VS Code's task system
- Debug Configuration Provider: Automatically creates appropriate debug configurations for your Swift targets
- Remote Debugging: Connect to remote WendyOS devices for debugging
- LLDB Integration: Full debugging support using LLDB with breakpoints, variable inspection, and more
- Quick Access: Access WendyOS documentation directly from the extension
- Integrated Help: Find answers to common questions without leaving your development environment
- Visual Studio Code 1.96.0 or newer
- Swift for Visual Studio Code extension
- Wendy CLI installed and accessible
- Swift SDK for WendyOS (for debugging)
- Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
- Ensure the Wendy CLI is installed (
wendy --versionshould work in your terminal) - Configure the Swift SDK path if needed for debugging
This extension contributes the following settings:
wendyos.cliPath: Path to the Wendy CLI executable. Leave empty for automatic detection.wendyos.swiftSdkPath: Path to the WendyOS Swift SDK artifact bundle (required for debugging).wendyos.devices: List of Wendy devices (managed by the extension).wendyos.currentDevice: ID of the currently selected Wendy device (managed by the extension).
- Open a Swift package project
- Add a WendyOS device using the "+" button in the Wendy Devices panel
- Select the device as your current device
- Use the Run or Debug buttons to deploy and run your application on the device
- Make sure you've configured your Swift SDK path via the settings
- Select your target device in the Devices panel
- Open the Debug panel and select "Debug Wendy Application"
- Start debugging to deploy and connect to your application
- Swift SDK path must be configured manually for debugging
- Debugging requires port 4242 to be accessible on the target device
- wifi configuration
- Added automated release process via GitHub Actions
- Initial release with basic device management, build and debugging support
This extension uses an automated release process via GitHub Actions. For details on how to release new versions, see Release Process Documentation.
