VSCode Extension

After installing both the PyPI package and VSCode extension, t-linter will automatically provide syntax highlighting for Python template strings.

Setup

Disable Python Language Server

To prevent conflicts with t-linter's syntax highlighting, disable the Python language server:

  1. Open VSCode Settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,)
  2. Search for "python.languageServer"
  3. Set it to "None"

Alternatively, add to your settings.json:

{
    "python.languageServer": "None"
}

Configure the Server Path (if needed)

If t-linter is not in your PATH, configure the server path in VSCode settings:

  1. Find your t-linter path by running in terminal:

    which t-linter

    where t-linter

  2. Open VSCode Settings (Ctrl+, / Cmd+,)

  3. Search for "t-linter.serverPath"
  4. Set the full path to your t-linter executable

Common paths:

OS Path
Windows C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python3xx\Scripts\t-linter.exe
macOS /Users/yourname/.local/bin/t-linter or /usr/local/bin/t-linter
Linux /home/yourname/.local/bin/t-linter or /usr/local/bin/t-linter

Troubleshooting

If syntax highlighting doesn't work:

  1. Ensure t-linter is installed: Run t-linter --version in terminal
  2. Check that Python language server is disabled: python.languageServer should be set to "None"
  3. Check the server path: Verify t-linter.serverPath in VSCode settings
  4. Restart VSCode after making changes
