Building

This document describes how to:

• Build the Dart Sass language server.
• Build the Sass language extension for Visual Studio Code.

Here we assume you have set up a development environment.

Building the language server

In pkgs/sass_language_server:

dart compile exe bin/sass_language_server.dart -o bin/sass-language-server

This builds an executable for your current operating system named sass-language-server.

Building the language extension

In extension:

npm run package

This creates a vsix file, which is the Visual Studio Code extension format. You can install it via the overflow-menu (tripple dots) in the Extensions pane. This can be useful to test the production build of the extension, but is not needed for development and debugging.
