# Concourse Pipeline and Task Editor for Visual Studio Code
# Bosh Deployment Manifest Editor for Visual Studio Code
This extension provides validation, content assist and documentation hovers
for editing [Concourse](https://concourse.ci/) Pipeline and Task configuration files.
for editing [Bosh](https://bosh.io/) Deployment Manifest files.
## Usage
The Concourse editor automatically activates when the name of the `.yml` file you are editing
### Activating the Editor
The Bosh editor automatically activates when the name of the `.yml` file you are editing
follows a certain pattern:
- `**/*pipeline*.yml` : activates support for editing pipelines
- `**/tasks/*.yml` : activates support for editing tasks.
- `**/*deployment*.yml` : activates support for bosh manifest file.
You can also define your own patterns and map them to the language-ids `concourse-pipeline-yaml`
or `concourse-task-yaml` by defining `files.associations` in workspace settings.
You can also define your own patterns and map them to the language-id `bosh-deployment-manifest`
by defining `files.associations` in workspace settings.
See [vscode documentation](https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/overview#_adding-a-file-extension-to-a-language) for details.
### Targetting a specific Director
Some Validation and Content Assist use information dymanically retrieved from an active Bosh director.
For these feature to work it is required that you
- have the bosh cli V2 installed (information is obtained by executing commands using the V2 cli)
- target a director by setting the `BOSH_ENVIROMENT` variable.
You can verify that you have set things up right by executing command:
```
bosh cloud-config --json
```
If setup correctly, it should return information about the cloud-config on your intended bosh director/environment.

## Limitations
### V2 versus V1 Schena
This Vscode Extension is still a work in progress. At the moment only a select few of the [built-in resource-types](https://concourse.ci/resource-types.html)
have been fully defined in the Editor's Schema.
The editor is intended primarily to support editing manifests in the [V2 schema](https://bosh.io/docs/manifest-v2.html).
When you use attributes from the V1 schema the editor will detect this however and switch to 'V1 tolerance' mode.
The resource-types that are already defined in the schema are:
- git
- docker-image
- s3
- pool
- semver
- time
For other resource-types content assist and checking is still very limited. We intend
to grow this list and provide a similar level of support for all of the built-in resource types in
the near future.
In this mode, V1 properties are accepted but marked with deprecation warnings and V2 properties are marked as (unknown property)
errors.
