Building and Debugging the Extension

To set up a development environment for debugging the ECL for VS Code extension:

cd /Some/Dev/Folder/
git clone https://github.com/hpcc-systems/vscode-ecl
cd vscode-ecl
git submodule update --init --recursive
npm install

At which point you can open the vscode-ecl folder within VS Code.
