Check feasibility of features from Cake-Vs and Cake-VsCode

[nils-a]

Check whether those features are doable or not.

Incomplete list:

• file icons
• automatic cake installation
• bootstrapper installation
• config file installation
• *.cake file template
• intellisense
• debugging cake
• code snippets
• in-code task actions (CodeLense)
• code outline
• project templates
• cool background image while editing a *.cake file

[nils-a]

file icons is very possible, see #30

[nils-a]

automatic cake installation should be feasible, see #54

[nils-a]

bootstrapper installation, config file installation and .cake file template should be feasible, see #55

[nils-a]

code outline should be feasible, see #61

[nils-a]

in-code task actions should be feasible, see #62

[nils-a]

project templates are very possible, see #63

[nils-a]

code snippets are very possible, see #64

[nils-a]

cool background image while editing a *.cake file is tricky. Setting an image in the editor is possible, but this image would need to be set when a Cake file is opened and the "old" settings need to be restored when the Cake file is closed. I think. Evaluation of this will be done in #65

If intellisense + syntax highlighting are not on the roadmap, please mention that in the marketplace plugin description – my hopes have been dashed

[nils-a]

@forresthopkinsa sorry to hear that. It's certainly on the roadmap - the fact that the are currently not marked checked in this issue only reflects the fact that I currently have no real good idea on how to get that working.

If you have an idea on how to get that working feel free to drop some pointers 😄

[forresthopkinsa]

I wish I did! I'll stay subscribed to this issue to get notified if you ever get that working.

Any chances for debugging support?

[nils-a]

@Leon99 Sadly, no.

[Leon99]

@Leon99 Sadly, no.

Is that a Rider limitation?

[nils-a]

Is that a Rider limitation?

I was unable to find an extension point to enable debugging of a custom language in Rider, so "yes".

(On the other hand, it is entirely possible that this is my "fault" for not finding the correct extension point.)
