VSCode extension
I tried installing caide on VSCode but I found no such extensions in the marketplace. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04. Is this not supported for Linux or is there something wrong with my machine?
VsCaide is an extension for Microsoft Visual Studio, which is an IDE completely unrelated to VSCode (and available only on Windows).
On Linux you can use a command line executable to parse test cases, generate solution and inline the code into a single file for submission. It can also generate project files for Codelite, which is another cross-platform IDE.
That said, VsCaide extension is basically a wrapper around this command line executable, so writing a similar VSCode extension should be possible. I don't have immediate plans to do this, but I will leave this issue open and see if it generates enough interest.
Creating VSCode extension would be great as it is light-weight and easy to use and this extension would help programmers to save time and work hassle free. I too work on the VScode and i've been looking for the same extension for it.
For vscode, there are plenty available, you can use acmx or cph in vs code.
For people interested in a VSCode extension, perhaps specify which language-specific extensions (e.g. providing C++ or CMake support) you already use with VSCode.
