This document is intended for developers who want to contribute to the Chapel extension for Visual Studio Code.
To build and test the extension locally in debug mode, you can use the Run/Debug tab to launch the extension in a new VSCode window (or press F5).
For some debugging purposes, it may be useful to build a local binary of the extension using vsce. To do this, run vsce package -o bin/chapel.vsix from the root of the repository. This can then be installed in VSCode by selecting "Install from VSIX" in the Extensions view, or by running code --install-extension bin/chapel.vsix.
