Extension Settings
For best results, put a chialisp.json file in your workspace root that lists the directories you'll be including other files from.
{ "include_paths": ["/home/person/dev/chia-blockchain/chia/wallet/puzzles"] }
Manual Building Steps:
This is not required to use the extension, as it is available fully compiled and ready to use directly from the vscode extension marketplace. However, if you wish to make code changes or want to manually build this extension, you can follow the below steps:
npm install -g vsce
cargo install wasm-pack
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
