auto-commit-msg

auto-commit-msg copied to clipboard

I'm using this in a workspace where i don't care about commit messages, it's a static repo, of markdown files.

And while this is useful, i would rather it automatically populate the message onsave that way all i have to do is click one button.

Ah, nice idea

I couldn't find that event here :( https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/activation-events

Oh wait that is when the extension activates (like on startup), not when it runs.

Let me know if you find anything. Or any extensions to base on.

Other extensions I know of listen use the format on save flow, so listening to format event rather than save event. Maybe I can hook into that? Can't see anything useful for formatting or saving here. https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode/search?q=save

An alternative would be to add another button, or a mode, or keyboard shortcut. To generate and commit in one move, at the loss of seeing the message in between.

Perhaps this would work too? Not sure not the best coder in the world. it seems VS Code referees to any source file. as "text"

onDidSaveTextDocument: Event<TextDocument>

There's also createFileSystemWatcher(globPattern: GlobPattern, ignoreCreateEvents?: boolean, ignoreChangeEvents?: boolean, ignoreDeleteEvents?: boolean): FileSystemWatcher

Your solution of a hot key to both would also solve the problem, have a look at those API references and let me know if either are useful

I found https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api in the docs

I am seeing stuff print when using onDidSaveTextDocument like this.

  context.subscriptions.push(disposable);
  context.subscriptions.push(
    vscode.workspace.onDidSaveTextDocument(e => {
      console.log(`Running because of file change: ${e}`)
      vscode.window.showInformationMessage(`Running because of file change: ${e}`)
    })
  )

Use in VS Code
