Haxe Extension Debug Tools

This is a VSCode extension that exists solely to aid the development of the vshaxe extension.

Features

• haxe-formatter test file highlighting

  haxe-formatter uses a custom .hxtest file extension for unit test definitions. These files are highlighted by the debug tools:

  

• Cursor Byte Offset Status Bar Item

  

  The debug tools add a status bar item displaying the current cursor byte offset when in a Haxe file. Haxe --display queries require the cursor byte offset as an argument, making this feature very useful when isolating and reproducing bugs.
