Developing with Visual Studio Code + devcontainer
The easiest way to get started with custom integration development is to use Visual Studio Code with devcontainers. This approach will create a preconfigured development environment with all the tools you need.
In the container you will have a dedicated Home Assistant core instance running with your custom component code. You can configure this instance by updating the ./devcontainer/configuration.yaml
file.
Prerequisites
- git
- Docker
- For Linux, macOS, or Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise/Education use the current release version of Docker
- Windows 10 Home requires WSL 2 and the current Edge version of Docker Desktop (see instructions here). This can also be used for Windows Pro/Enterprise/Education.
- Visual Studio code
- Remote - Containers (VSC Extension)
More info about requirements and devcontainer in general
Getting started:
- Fork the repository.
- Clone the repository to your computer.
- Open the repository using Visual Studio code.
When you open this repository with Visual Studio code you are asked to "Reopen in Container", this will start the build of the container.
If you don't see this notification, open the command palette and select Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container
.
Tasks
The devcontainer comes with some useful tasks to help you with development, you can start these tasks by opening the command palette and select Tasks: Run Task
then select the task you want to run.
When a task is currently running (like Run Home Assistant on port 9123
for the docs), it can be restarted by opening the command palette and selecting Tasks: Restart Running Task
, then select the task you want to restart.
The available tasks are:
Task | Description |
---|---|
Run Home Assistant on port 9123 | Launch Home Assistant with your custom component code and the configuration defined in .devcontainer/configuration.yaml . |
Run Home Assistant configuration against /config | Check the configuration. |
Upgrade Home Assistant to latest dev | Upgrade the Home Assistant core version in the container to the latest version of the dev branch. |
Install a specific version of Home Assistant | Install a specific version of Home Assistant core in the container. |
Step by Step debugging
With the development container, you can test your custom component in Home Assistant with step by step debugging.
You need to modify the configuration.yaml
file in .devcontainer
folder
by uncommenting the line:
# debugpy:
Then launch the task Run Home Assistant on port 9123
, and launch the debugger
with the existing debugging configuration Python: Attach Local
.
For more information, look at the Remote Python Debugger integration documentation.
