VS Code extension

The Gostman extension runs collections from the editor. It calls the Gostman command line, so a run in VS Code gives the same result as a run in CI. Install it from the Visual Studio Marketplace. Its source is in editors/vscode.

Install

  1. Install the Gostman CLI and put gostman on the PATH, or set gostman.path to its full path. Downloads are on the releases page; see Command line.
  2. Install the extension from the Marketplace, or run ext install Gostman.gostman in the Quick Open box (Ctrl+P).

Commands

Open the Command Palette and type Gostman.

Settings

  • gostman.environment: environment name passed as --env.

Trust

Running a collection sends requests and runs its scripts, so the extension is off in untrusted workspaces.
