Test the extension by opening the project folder in VSCode and pressing F5. This will open a new VSCode window known as the Extension Development Host with the extension enabled.
Shift + Alt + F will format the file in the active editor, allowing you to test the formatter on the provided files in the ./test directory.
After applying changes to the extension, you can reload the Extension Development Host by pressing Ctrl + R in the Extension Development Host window. You do not need to build the extension to reload changes, as there is a watcher that will automatically rebuild the extension.
