Hot-Fixed

• Removed Lua.runtime.pathStrict: true from the settings.json template because of the bad side effect on external libraries autocompletion. Will review it later 😢.

Added

• Added Lua.runtime.pathStrict: true to the settings.json template.

Fixed

• Fixed https://github.com/astrochili/vscode-defold/issues/39 — cleaning outdated and doubled library annotations after deletion or updating the version.
• Fixed cleaning library annotations folder with the Clean Annotations command.

Removed

• Removed Lua.telemetry.enable from the settings.json template.

Added

• Added annotations and the ---@package marker for script lifecycle snippets. The ---@package allows to hide lifecycle functions from the global context so that you don't get confused when choosing between a snippet and a real declared function with the same name.
• Added the script snippet with the self class definition and annotated lifecycle functions. Useful to create a script file with ready to use self annotations. By default, the class is named by filename.

Note

• The definition of the on_input.action class exists in the updated defold-annotations release. So to make on_input.action available, please sync Defold API annotations via command pallete.

Example of output with the script snippet in the player.script file:

---@class player.script

---@package
---@param self player.script
function init(self)
  
end

---@package
---@param self player.script
---@param dt number
function update(self, dt)
  
end

---@package
---@param self player.script
---@param message_id hash
---@param message table
---@param sender hash
function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
  
end

---@package
---@param self player.script
---@param action_id hash
---@param action on_input.action
---@return boolean|nil
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
  
end

---@package
---@param self player.script
function final(self)
  
end
