Building Docassemble interviews with VS Code

We invite experts for workshops with the Document Assembly Line community on the first Wednesday of every month. This workshop is about building Docassemble interviews with the VS Code editor, and Jack Adamson is our guest expert.

Notes

Warning. Jack says not to SSH into the Docker container and edit files that way. He tried that once and basically had to wipe his playground to fix it. Instead, use dainstall/dawatchinstall to update your interviews.

Jack mentioned a helpful blog post he used to set up his Docassemble server on Oracle Cloud.

Here is the code Caroline uses for bracket coloring in her syntax highlighter configuration file:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "editorBracketHighlight.foreground1": "#ff0000",
    "editorBracketHighlight.foreground2": "#ffbb00",
    "editorBracketHighlight.foreground3": "#8ce2a2",
    "editorBracketHighlight.foreground4": "#48a4e2",
    "editorBracketHighlight.foreground5": "#ae00ff",
}
