* fix: make command chaining examples shell-aware for Windows compatibility Addresses Issue #10352 where Roo Code generates Unix-style command chaining (&&) even on Windows systems using PowerShell or cmd.exe. Changes: - Add getCommandChainOperator() to detect the user shell and return the appropriate command chaining syntax: - Unix shells (bash, zsh, etc.): && - PowerShell: ; - cmd.exe: & - Update getRulesSection() to use shell-specific chaining in examples - Add informative note for non-Unix shells about different syntaxes - Add comprehensive tests for shell detection and command chaining * feat: add Unix utility guidance for Windows shells Addresses feedback from issue #10352 about sed and other Unix-specific utilities being suggested on Windows. The system prompt now includes guidance for PowerShell and cmd.exe users to use native alternatives: PowerShell: - Select-String instead of grep - Get-Content instead of cat - Remove-Item instead of rm - Copy-Item instead of cp - Move-Item instead of mv - -replace operator or [regex] instead of sed cmd.exe: - type instead of cat - del instead of rm - copy instead of cp - move instead of mv - find/findstr instead of grep * Apply suggestion from @roomote[bot] Co-authored-by: roomote[bot] <219738659+roomote[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: use && for cmd.exe to preserve conditional execution semantics - Update getCommandChainOperator() to return && for cmd.exe (already done) - Update getCommandChainNote() to document && instead of & for cmd.exe - Update JSDoc to reflect cmd.exe uses && for conditional execution - Update tests to expect && for cmd.exe cmd.exe supports && for conditional execution (run next command only if previous succeeds), which provides the same semantics as Unix shells. * fix: update PowerShell note to use && for cmd.exe reference --------- Co-authored-by: Roo Code <roomote@roocode.com> Co-authored-by: Hannes Rudolph <hrudolph@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: roomote[bot] <219738659+roomote[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> |

Local Setup & Development
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code.git
- Install dependencies:
pnpm install
- Run the extension:
There are several ways to run the Roo Code extension:
Development Mode (F5)
For active development, use VSCode's built-in debugging:
Press F5 (or go to Run → Start Debugging) in VSCode. This will open a new VSCode window with the Roo Code extension running.
- Changes to the webview will appear immediately.
- Changes to the core extension will also hot reload automatically.
Automated VSIX Installation
To build and install the extension as a VSIX package directly into VSCode:
pnpm install:vsix [-y] [--editor=<command>]
This command will:
- Ask which editor command to use (code/cursor/code-insiders) - defaults to 'code'
- Uninstall any existing version of the extension.
- Build the latest VSIX package.
- Install the newly built VSIX.
- Prompt you to restart VS Code for changes to take effect.
Options:
-y: Skip all confirmation prompts and use defaults--editor=<command>: Specify the editor command (e.g.,--editor=cursoror--editor=code-insiders)
Manual VSIX Installation
If you prefer to install the VSIX package manually:
- First, build the VSIX package:
pnpm vsix - A
.vsixfile will be generated in thebin/directory (e.g.,bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix). - Install it manually using the VSCode CLI:
code --install-extension bin/roo-cline-<version>.vsix
