The ${env:XDG_DATA_HOME} variable is not used, as this variable resolves
to the current working directory within Visual Studio Code's development
container. By manually specifying the file path, it is possible to use
Visual Studio Code's development container.
The "mkdir" command uses the "-p" flag. This flag creates the parent
directories, as well. Should they already exists, the command moves
down to the next folder to create without throwing an error.
The "-r" parameter of the "cp" is required to recursively copy all
files and directories within the "publish" directory.
This commit describes how to setup an automation for Visual Studio Code.
The automation aims to build the plugin and then start the server and
optionally the web-client. This way, only one IDE project has to be
opened which starts all necessary dependencies.
