About cmake-format
cmake-format
cmake-format can format your listfiles nicely so that they don't look like crap.
Features
The cmake-format extension for vscode provides a document format command for listfiles. The extension is quite limited in scope to just this one feature. I may grow it in the future to provide more language support features for cmake.
Source for this extension is maintained with the source for cmake-format in [github][1].
Requirements
In order for this extension to work you must have cmake-format installed. The recommended way to do that is through pip, e.g. pip install cmake_format.
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
• cmakeFormat.exePath: Path to cmake-format executable. • cmakeFormat.cwd: The working directory for the cmake-format subprocess • cmakeFormat.env: Environment variables to be set for the subprocess call, use this to configure any PATH or PYTHONPATH modifications. • cmakeFormat.mergeEnv: If true (default) then environment variables specified in cmakeFormat.env will be merged with those of the current environment to create the environment for the subprocess call. • cmakeFormat.args: Additional command line arguments to be specified. For instance use ["--config-file", ""] to specify a custom configuration.
Known Issues
You can find known issues with cmake-format on [github][3]. Feel free to file issues with the vscode extension there as well.
