It would be nice to have a panel in the sidebar that lists all the targets in the Snakefile so you can quickly run a target, perhaps including a [Force run] button, and an option to quickly jump to the definition.
A plain text mockup:
all [> [!> [\
download_data [> [!> [\
preprocess_data [> [!> [\
using the following definitions for the symbold:
[> Run selected rule, call snakemake {rule}
[!> Force run selected rule, call `snakemake --force {rule}
[\ Edit rule definition, open file and go to line
Some things that need to be considered:
[ ] visualise modular rules
[ ] handle multiple open folders in the current workspace
[ ] select profile to use (per open folder)
[ ] how and when to update the list of rules as building the list can be slow
[ ] visualise running rules, can we allow starting multiple rules in parallel?
Finally, I don't have any experience building VS Code plugins, but I figure it should be possible.
