VSCode extension: CMakeLists.txt are not formated

[blackliner]

With the VSCode extension, only *.cmake files are considered CMake files. But the majority of files are usually CMakeLists.txt

Is there a way to configure the extension to look for CMakeLists.txt files in addition?

Can approve this behaviour. This was introduced with the latest release. Using 0.6.11 is a possible workaround.

Further with the latest release the cmake-format binary seems to be missing. I get

whereis cmake-format
cmake-format:

With 0.6.11 a binary is there.

Add the following to your settings.json:

{
  "files.associations": {
    "CMakeLists.txt": "cmake"
  }
}

There have been no changes in file associations with the latest release.

The vscode extension has never shipped the binary. The binary should be installed through pip.

Do you mean the .cmake-format file one gets when cmake-format --dump-config > .cmake-format ? Oh, vscode, got it

@blackliner He means the VSCode settings.json

But manually adding this seems to me just like a workarround. Actually one would expect that CMakeLists.txt are by default recognized to be formatted. VSCode itself does this association, right? For instance on my machine I have full CMake support on these files without the file association. However, the format is not happening and I am pretty sure this already worked.

Update:

I did some tests on another machine and here both issues do not occur. So it seems to be a local issue and maybe one causes the other. @blackliner What do you get when you run cmake-format -v && whereis cmake-format

I did the installation via pip. This are my steps to reproduce

pip3 install cmake_format

whereis cmake-format
cmake-format:

pip3 install -U cmake_format==0.6.11

whereis cmake-format
cmake-format: /valid/path/to/cmake-format

I had to uninstall the extension, because both this and C/C++ extension from Microsoft try to format.
