Getting Started in Visual Studio Code

The OpenMCx-repository provides an easy way to get the project compiling and running from within Visual Studio Code. The devcontainer.json configuration file tells Visual Studio Code how to provide a development environment with everything that is needed to build and debug OpenMCx.

Follow these steps to make use of the development container:

  • Load the OpenMCx repository into Visual Studio Code:

    • Open folder where you cloned the repository

    • Reopen in development container

      Visual Studio Code will recognize the devcontainer.json and offer to Reopen in Dev Container in a small window at the bottom right of Visual Studio Code.

    • When Visual Studio Code asks you to Select a Kit for openmcx, choose GCC 9.3.0 x86_64-linux-gnu.

  • Build OpenMCx

    Run the following command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P):

    CMake: Build

  • Run OpenMCx using the sample Launch configuration

    The folder .vscode.sample contains a sample launch.json which tells VS Code how to run and debug OpenMC.x

    • Copy .vscode.sample to .vscode

      The sample configuration is set up to start the currently opened file with OpenMCx, but you can adapt and modify the launch configuration to your needs.

    • Start OpenMCx with a model.ssd

      Open a model.ssd file and run debug (gdb) Launch openmcx from the Command Palette. This starts openmcx in the parent folder of the opened model.ssd file. The simulation.log and the results folder will be written to the parent folder as well.

  • Optionally: Install helpful extensions
