Other IDE's like PyCharm, IntelliJ, etc. have a feature where if it finds a function being called that is undefined, you can right-click it and click 'create method' or something similar to automatically create the function definition. It helps out a lot in TDD. Is there something similar in VS Code?
You can install the My Code Actions extension, here is a simple example:
Configure in settings.json
file:
// settings.json file
{
"my-code-actions.actions": {
"[python]": {
"create new methond {{diag:$1}}": {
"diagnostics": ["\"(.*?)\" is not defined"],
"text": "def {{diag:$1}}():\n pass\n",
"where": "afterLast",
}
}
}
}
The effect when writing code after saving this setting:
Another method that might be useful:
open in sequence File > Preferences > Configure User Snippets. Select python in the command palette. This will create a python.json
file in which you can customize the code segment according to the rules.
A simple example:
"Print to console":{
"prefix": "defHello",
"body": [
"def Hello():",
"${1: }print('Hello worle')",
"$2",
],
"description": "print hello world"
}
