Red

An extension with rich support for the Red language, with features including the following and more:

  • Intellisense (autocompletion)
  • Signature Help
  • Interpret or compile Red source file
  • Snippets

Quick Start

  • Install the extension

  • If Red is aleady installed (Note: For Windows user, need to run red.exe --cli first)

    You're ready to use it.

  • Turn off the Auto Completion

    You can turn off the autocompletion in the User or Workspace Settings file (settings.json) as follows.

    "red.autocomplete": false
    

Compile Red Source File

For compiling Red source file, you need to configure the path to the Red toolchain in the User or Workspace Settings file (settings.json) as follows.

  • Specify the full path of the red toolchain

    "red.redPath": "/home/user1/tools/red-latest"
    
  • Relative to ${workspaceRoot}, where ${workspaceRoot} resolves to the current work space (project) directory.

    "red.redPath": "${workspaceRoot}/toolchain/red"
    

You can also configure the directory for output files of the compiler. The current work space (project) directory is used by default.

(Note: If no work space directory, the output files are in the same folder as the Red source file.)

  • Specify the full path

    "red.buildDir": "/home/user1/debug"
    
  • Relative to ${workspaceRoot}

    "red.buildDir": "${workspaceRoot}/build/debug"
    

If you are using Linux and prefer to use the Windows version of Red through Wine until GUI support is available for Linux, you can point red.redPath to a small shell script.

    "red.buildDir": "",

    // Whether to enable or disable autocompletion.
    "red.autoComplete": true
}
