Concourse Pipeline and Task Editor for Visual Studio Code
This extension provides validation, content assist and documentation hovers for editing Concourse Pipeline and Task configuration files.
Usage
The Concourse 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.
You can also define your own patterns and map them to the language-ids concourse-pipeline-yaml
or concourse-task-taml by defining files.associations in workspace settings.
See vscode documentation for details.
Functionality
Validation
As you type the text is parsed and checked for basic syntactic and structural correctness. Hover over an error marker to see an explanation:
TODO: screenshot(s)
Content assist
Having trouble remembering all the names of the attributes, and their spelling? Or can't remember
which resource properties to set in the get task params versus its source attributes?
Content assist to the rescue:
TODO: screenshot(s)
Documentation Hovers
Having trouble remembering exactly what the meaning of each attribute is? Hover over an attribute and read its detailed documentation:

Limitations
This Vscode Extension is still a work in progress. At the moment only a select few of the built-in resource-types have been fully defined in the Editor's Schema.
The resource-types that are already defined in the schema are:
- git
- docker-image
- s3
- pool
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.
