Are there any vs code users here? What is there support for syntax highlighting for BUILD files?

Not a vs code user, but BUILD files are just Python, so if you can set vs code to recognize them as such that's a start?

yeah I guess that might be a start, but the default vs code python setup doesn't like that there are no import statements

Probably PyCharm/IntelliJ would be the IDE we would tackle first, as there seems to be more demand for that, but we'd love to have someone do the same for VS Code

User contributions always welcome! :wink:

please tell me if I am wrong, but I think since the `BUILD` files are valid Python and Starlark is a subset of Python, you could piggy back on some of the VSCode extensions for Starlark support — at least for syntax highlight, but maybe some more? <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=phgn.vscode-starlark>
