This repository contains the source code for generating the language grammar files for Salesforce's Apex.
Development and setup of this project has not been tested for Windows OS. You may see a node-gyp error - follow the instrutions here to resolve it.
To build and test install Node.js do the following:
- Run
npm install
to install any dependencies. - Run
gulp
to build. - Run
npm run test
to run tests.
Output grammars are output in the grammars/
directory.
To see the token changes from within the Salesforce VS Code Extensions:
- Copy the
apex.tmLanguage
results into../salesforcedx-vscode/packages/salesforcedx-vscode-apex/node_modules/@salesforce/apex-tmlanguage/grammars/apex.tmLanguage
. - From the
Command Palette
selectDeveloper: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes
.
Token structure is based off of Textmate's Language Grammar guidelines
For the standalone SOQL grammar, tests are executed with vscode-tmgrammar-tests.
test/soql/
|-- simple_account.soql "Manually" created test cases
|-- ...
`-- snapshots/ "Snapshot-based" test cases
|-- example-*.soql
|-- example-*.soql.snap
`-- ...
The difference between manual vs. snapshot tests is that the latter are auto-generated and can be updated with command vscode-tmgrammar-snap -u
. They are useful to quickly see the output of applying the grammar and catch regressions.
The example-* queries were taken from Example SELECT clauses.
