Jekyll extension for Visual Studio Code

A Visual Studio Code extension that adds problem matchers for Jekyll Liquid warnings and errors.

Usage

Use these problem matchers in Visual Studio Code tasks by using their names "$jekyll-warning" and "$jekyll-error".

For background tasks such as jekyll serve, use "$jekyll-warning-watch" and "$jekyll-error-watch".

For example, a Jekyll project might define the following tasks in .vscode/tasks.json:

{
  // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
  // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "label": "Serve",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload",
      "group": {
        "kind": "test",
        "isDefault": true
      },
      "isBackground": true,
      "problemMatcher": ["$jekyll-error-watch", "$jekyll-warning-watch"]
    },
    {
      "label": "Build",
      "type": "shell",
      "command": "bundle exec jekyll build",
      "group": "build",
      "problemMatcher": ["$jekyll-error", "$jekyll-warning"],
      "group": {
        "kind": "build",
        "isDefault": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

Future Work

• Recognize non-Liquid Jekyll errors
• Add the tasks, if _config.yml is present.
• Can the matchers be combined? (Is the VSCode "severity" case-insensitive?)

Bugs

Reported line numbers are off by the number of lines (frontmatter and blank lines) that precede the first non-whitespace document content. See jekyll/jekyll#7192.
