setup

I have installed it on vscode on OSX with config and server started

then i ssh into my vagrant hosted ubuntu, but get connection refused

vagrant@vagrant:~/workspace/go/gitlab.x.io/testing/top-dev-env$ gomate
2017/10/18 19:33:27 dial tcp [::1]:52698: getsockopt: connection refused

I assume that this is trying to dial out and so i need to open this port in the vagrant config ?

Did you install https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rafaelmaiolla.remote-vscode ?

Hey. Yes i did.

The VSCode service is running, and all good.

1. Your example maps to a file. That confuses me. I assuming it would map to a folder, so the system can work on all the files in that folder ?

2. Got lost in trying to get the vagrant ssh command work the way we need it to.

SO i worked out the adaptation of the ssh connect.
gomate binary is inside the guest at $HOME folder.
It connected but fails to find the gomate command.

ssh -R 52698:127.0.0.1:52698 -i .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key -p 2222 vagrant@127.0.0.1 gomate
bash: gomate: command not found

any ideas ?

gomate should be installed on the HOST or the GUEST ?

[mattn]

should be installed on guest. See http://blog.macromates.com/2011/mate-and-rmate/

I got it working. thanks @mattn

Pretty neat. I see the file in SCODE as a tab...

I could only get it to work by connecting and then manually kicking off gomate.

Is there a way to tell it to expose a folder and its files ?

It's ok. There is an issue in vscode repo about exposing a remote file system fully over SSH.
It looks like it has a good chance of going into the next release of vscode.

Would be amazing to be able to connect to a Linux box and work on it from vscode !!
