HaxeRepo contain a text Haxe file.

Not quite sure what you mean by that. Main.hx?

@fhalo

Main queation is what is the different between worspace and open folder. I’ve read that a workspace can have many open folders?

Technically, yes, workspaces in VSCode can have multiple folders. Such “multi-root” workspaces aren’t supported by the Haxe extension yet though. I guess you could consider any folder you open in VSCode a workspace, especially if it has a .vscode directory.

@fhalo

haslink/JIT create unkown file

Well, you need to have hl installed and in your PATH. Similarly, for Flash, you need to have a standalone flash debug player associated with .swf files.

@fhalo

I’m assuming for a new project I just copy the HaxeRepo, rename it to the new project name and add Haxe codes as normal?

You could do that I guess, but copying just the .vscode folder should be enough really (and then adjusting the program paths for the configs in launch.json as needed).

@fhalo

what is the different between HaxeRepo and the Hxcpp debug Vscode extension?

This question doesn’t really make any sense to me, HaxeRepro is a project that uses the HXCPP Debugger extension.

Thanks all your help Gama11 Jens Fischer.

Now I understand how HaxeRepo works. It does need Hxcpp I’ll run more experiment and see if I can create my own project.

Thanks again. Haxe community is great!! Keep it up.

Finall Note (I hope)
I copied .vscode and build.hxml files into the new project. Open build.hxml and change -cp to point to the new source folder for Haxe files.

THanks again!! Vscode is not working for debugging Haxe codes.

@fhalo

Vscode is not working for debugging Haxe codes.

I hope that’s a typo and you meant “now”.

[fhalo (fm)]

Yes, now. I was so excited about getting Vscode to working and watching each variable as I step through the code. I didn’t double check what I have written.
