Preferred Text Editor command details to run specific parameters for the editor

[guilbaudl]

Hey everyone,

I post my question here as I think it can be useful for many people (and I couldn't find any solution).

I would like to use Visual Studio Code as my favorite editor in Quartus. I can write the path and the options to open the file at the corresponding line, but I want to set the folder that opens VSCode in order to have my environment settings.

You can find the Quartus setting in Tools > Options > Prefered Text Editor

However, by not knowing how the field works, I cannot fix the issue I am facing (and I tried for long to fix it)

I want to run the following to estimate which folder to open for VSCode. It perfectly works in Powershell, but not when using Quartus. It just opens files with the names from parts of the command.

Here is the command:
"C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe" $(If ((Get-Location).ToString().Contains('folder1')) {'C:/Users/me/Documents/folder1'} Else {'C:/Users/me/Documents/folder2')

I am using Quartus 22.2 for Windows 10. I couldn't even make it work writting
"C:/Users/me/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe" $(Get-Location.ToString())

Hi,

Open quartus ->Tools -> Options -> Preferred Text Editor "Text editor" select "Custom" "Command-line" and enter either of followings:

"%PATH_TO_VSCODE%\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -r -g %l %f

"%PATH_TO_VSCODE%\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" %l %f %p

"%PATH_TO_VSCODE%\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -r -g -n%l %f

"%PATH_TO_VSCODE%\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -r -g -n%l %f %p

"%PATH_TO_VSCODE%\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe" -n%l %f

Best Regards,

Sheng

Hello,

None of the line you wrote works. It only opens the concerned file without opening the folder I would like...

And I don't want to open the project, but the top folder depending on the path where the project is located (the top folder is a folder of many different projects)

Do you know how I can run command line in this "command line" field?

Best regards,

Loan
