This means the UI can run on your local computer, but all the heavy lifting can be done on a remote server.

With this in mind, we started looking at the remote Docker support of VS Code.

It also made a lot of sense because we could use the same compiler and development environment we use for our tests.

We needed extensions for this, and luckily, VS Code has a ton of them We wont go too much into the specifics of configuring them because this is out of scope for this blog post, but in general, they all mostly just worked.

This made us decide to try the clangd extension first, and were happy to report that it works really, really well.

We found the VS Code extension CodeLLDB worked pretty much out of the box.

After compiling our test binary, it simply picked it up and showed the available tests, and we were able to run them.

This installed three extensions: Remote - SSH, Remote - Containers, and Remote - WSL.

In this post, well be using the Remote - Containers extension.

Microsoft has documentation on how to get Docker installed here.

First, theres a Dockerfile that will be our development environment, and second, theres a devcontainer.json that contains information on how to run the Dockerfile.

Because were using Debian, we used mcr.microsoft.comvscodedevcontainersbase:0-debian-10.

We navigated to the folder containing our.devcontainer and opened it.

This enables us to have much more CPU power available, which big C projects definitely need.

In addition, VS Code is one of the most responsive editors Ive ever used.
