This adds a small DSL-aware helper to extract CDL event declarations and generate a ready-to-use snippet. It also extends hover support to show the snippet and parameter hints for CDL events, improving developer productivity. - Generate a MOM event handler scaffold and local vars - Hover shows the generated snippet and mom_ parameter hints
NX Postprocessor Support
A comprehensive VS Code extension providing language support for NX CAM postprocessor development, including CDL, TCL, and DEF files.
Features
- Syntax Highlighting - Full syntax highlighting for CDL, TCL, and DEF files
- Code Formatting - Automatic code formatting for all supported file types
- Multi-language Support - Supports NX CDL, TCL, and DEF file formats
- Intelligent Code Analysis - Linting and error detection for postprocessor code
- Auto-completion - Context-aware code completion for faster development
- Signature Help - Shows parameters and documentation for custom and NX procedures
Supported File Types
.cdl- NX User Defined Event File.tcl- NX TCL postprocessor files.def- NX Definition files
Installation
- Install from the VS Code Marketplace
- Install Python 3.11 or higher
- Open any
.cdl,.tcl, or.deffile - The extension will automatically activate and provide language support
Configuration
The extension can be configured through VS Code settings:
nx-post-support.interpreter- Specify custom Python interpreter path for the language servernx-post-support.formatter- Enable/disable the TCL formatter (default: false)nx-post-support.inlayHint- Enable/disable inlay Hints (default: true)
Usage
Simply open any supported file type and enjoy:
- Syntax highlighting
- Error detection and linting
- Code completion
- Code formatting (Format Document command)
- Hover information
- Signature help while entering procedure arguments
Development and debugging
Install the root and client dependencies before the first debug session:
npm install
npm install --prefix client
Use one of the checked-in VS Code launch configurations:
- Run Extension debugs the TypeScript extension host.
- Debug Extension and Python debugs both the TypeScript extension and the Python language server. This is the recommended configuration for LSP work.
- Python Attach attaches manually to an already running Python process.
The launch configuration creates a fresh non-minified bundle with embedded
source maps and opens test/test.tcl so the extension activates immediately.
For combined debugging, the Python adapter listens on 127.0.0.1:5678; the
language server waits for that adapter before initialization. The NX
Postprocessor Support output channel reports Python debug mode: enabled and
shows _debug_server.py in the server command when the debug path is active.
