setup of VS-Code-Extension

[jakobjung10]

Hello everyone!

As i am new to the topic in general, i would be happy about getting support in order to get the VS-Code extension running.

My steps so far:

• I have cloned the ghdl-language-server repository
• I have installed npm and vsce

When executing the command vsce package, i get the following message:

PS C:\Users\Jakob\Documents\GitHub\ghdl-language-server> vsce package ERROR Extension manifest not found: C:\Users\Jakob\Documents\GitHub\ghdl-language-server\package.json

The README-files from the ghdl and ghdl-language-server cause confusion for me. Should the extension work out of the box or are there any previous steps required? If yes, which steps have to be done?

My actual goal is to execute the extension in debug-mode. (vsce package should not be necessary, as it just packages the extension, so the above listed steps might be a bit misleading for my actual goal)... When i press F5 in VS-Code, nothing happens (i am expecting a new window to be launched with activated extension).

Thanks in advance for instructions to get the extension running!
