We are very excited today to announce the immediate release of our first two extensions for Microsoft Visual Studio Code

ColdBox Extension


https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ortus-solutions.vscode-coldbox

Our ColdBox Extension is very similar to our Sublime extension but better! I have to admit that VSCode is absolutely great and we have been able to not only release our collection of snippets but give you typeahead and scope recognition in this extension. Just type any of our recognized injections like:

  • controller
  • event
  • wirebox
  • cachebox
  • etc

And you will get nice autocompletion. Stay tuned as we have many many features planned for the extension.

TestBox Extension

Our TestBox extension is a port of our Sublime extension with all of its snippets glory. Next versions will include more features, but for now snippets it is.

These systems are often:
