Walkthrough for new users

Open deribaucourt opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Currently, users might miss properly configuring the extension to their BitBake environment. The current pointers are the README and the configuration error message that appears during startup.

A proper beginner walk-through could be implemented to make this more welcoming and obvious. Welcome views seem to be the common best practice.

  • https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.viewsWelcome
  • https://code.visualstudio.com/api/ux-guidelines/views#welcome-views

Also we should consider how the incomming support for bitbake-setup/oe-layer-setup is going to fit into that.

Done :smiley:. Thank you very much!

I guess "Welcome views" and "Walkthroughs" would be the best way to introduce new users. Content-wise, a reasonable base would be the README.md guide. But feel free to come up with any suggestions!

Thank you for assigning this issue to me, Using the README as a starting point is a great idea. I'll also explore other options and work on implementing them
