[HELP NEEDED] How to setup extension for contributing?

[PhunkyBob]

I would like to add features (#30 (comment), #31 (comment)) in this promising extension, but I don't succeed to run it in development mode.

What I've done

• uninstall the extension in VSCode
• fork repo
• git clone
• open it in code-insiders
• Terminal -> Run build task
• Run-> Start debugging

Result

• a new instance of code-insiders is launched
• the icon of aider-composer is shown
• when I click on any icon inside the extension, it displays nothing

Output

2024-11-24 18:06:11.932 [info] Extension "aider-composer" is now active!

the aider composer also need a ui server setup when development. you should goto ui folder and run npm run dev.
before you run, you should npm i first.

It seems to work 👍
