Setup Visual Studio Code on Mac For Debugging Arduino, WordPress : Part 2

This is the second part of our series guide on setup of Visual Studio Code on Mac. The first part of the guide is here. In this guide we have shown to setup WordPress debug setup. Here is part 2 of how to setup Visual Studio Code on Mac for debugging Arduino, WordPress etc and this current webpage is only for final setup for WordPress. If you want to follow our guides, you must only follow our guides – not of someone else ending up messing up the whole setup. We have tested the things many times and at the time of writing the guide we have no error. Microsoft does say the same thing – they do not have error. P

 

Setup Visual Studio Code on Mac For Debugging WordPress

 

We will show you the way which will not create issue with Atom Editor and on Command Line. From the previous guide, you have a composer.json file located at /Users/your-user-name/.composer/composer.json, which is /Users/abhishekghosh/.composer/composer.json for me. If we run a cat on it :

We’ll get this output :

But I need to have that thing here too :

So create a composer.json at /Users/your-user-name and copy-paste the content. Which in my case is just easy :

Now run :

There will be no error. Now install WordPress coding standard (which is actually a physical project, also available on Github) :

You’ll get this kind of output :

If you run :

You’ll notice a symlink. Now you’ll add another symlink :

Add this thing to your ~/.zshrc :

Then save the file and reload :

Now run this command :

Then run this command :

You should receive output like this :

You wanted WordPress, is not it? Now for testing, clone Hello Dolly plugin :

Run checking :

You’ll get output like this :

Now start Visual Studio Code. That PHPCS extension may disturb and need disabling, reload, enabling and reload to function. You need not to modify settings in Visual Studio Code ( to access user settings click Debug icon and hit COMMAND and , ) as by default in PHPCS extension it is set to null, which means default :

Now if you copy paste that Hello Dolly plugin’s one PHP file on Visual Studio Code and run Debug as PHP, you’ll get huge errors :

You can install extensions like this :

For the above extension you need to access user settings by clicking Debug icon and hitting COMMAND and , search for what they have suggested to change, save and relaunch.

That PHPCS extension may again disturb and need disabling, reload, enabling and reload to function. That error happens as our ZSH itself load very slow and Visual Studio Code expects immediate availability.
