Specify IDE ​

By default, code-inspector-plugin will scan the currently running applications in the system and automatically open a running IDE program (automatic recognition only applies to IDEs that support automatic recognition in the table below), so in most cases you do not need to manually specify an IDE.

If you want to specify an IDE, you need to add a file named .env.local to the project root directory and add the following content: CODE_EDITOR=[IDE Encoding Name].

Taking vscode as an example, its corresponding IDE Encoding Name is code, so the following content should be added in .env.local:

# specify IDE is vscode
CODE_EDITOR=code

Automatic Recognition IDE ​

The IDE that supports automatic recognition and the corresponding IDE Encoding Name are shown in the table below:

Other IDE ​

If the IDE you are using is not in the list that supports automatic recognition mentioned above or if it is an unofficial IDE, you need to add a file named .env.local to the project root directory and add the following content: CODE_EDITOR=[IDE Execution Path], the reference of getting IDE Execution Path is as follows.

MAC ​

Taking VSCodium as an example (the other IDE steps are the same), to get the IDE Execution Path in the MAC system, the steps are as follows:

1. Open VSCodium
2. Open the MAC's own Activity Monitor, find VSCodium in the process, and double-click:
3. After double clicking, in the Open File and Port tab of the window, find the corresponding path under the first txt, which is the IDE Execution Path:
4. Copy the IDE Execution Path to the .env.local file:

# .env.local
CODE_EDITOR=/Applications/VSCodium.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron

Windows ​

Taking Webstorm as an example (other IDE steps are the same), to get the IDE Execution Path in the Windows system, the steps are as follows:

1. Find the shortcut of the IDE (if not available, create one), right-click on the shortcut, and select 属性:
2. After opening, find the 快捷 tab, the value of 目标 is the IDE Execution Path：
3. Copy the IDE Execution Path to the .env.local file:

# .env.local
CODE_EDITOR=D:\webstorm\WebStorm 2023.1.3\bin\webstorm64.exe
