Make Code Spell Checker compatible with the Ruby language that points out spelling mistakes in VS Code

Introduction

Code Spell Checker, an extension of VS Code, is a useful feature that points out spelling mistakes, but it does not support the Ruby language by default and will not work unless you set it yourself. In this article, I would like to introduce how to set it.

background

I often got an error in the rails test as I was learning in the Rails tutorial, most of which was due to a misspelling. I found out about an extension called Code Spell Checker that checks for spelling mistakes, and tried installing it, but it didn't work. Apparently, Ruby is not supported by default, so I tried to find out how to add it in the settings.

I wrote this article for those who have installed Code Spell Checker but are having trouble with the language not being supported.

Operating environment

macOS Catalina Version: 10.15.6 VSCode version: 1.49.0 Code Spell Checker Version: 1.9.0

Setting method

The flow is to add the language to the settings.json file using cSpell.enabledLanguageIds.

First, how to open the settings.json file. Open the settings screen with command + comma (,). Click the icon at the top right of the settings screen to open the settings.json file.

All you have to do now is add " cSpell.enabledLanguageIds ": ["Language "] to the settings.json file.

settings.json

    "cSpell.enabledLanguageIds": [
            "css",
            "html",
            "javascript",
            "json",
            "less",
            "markdown",
            "plaintext",
            "scss",
            "text",
            "ruby",
            "yaml",
            "yml"
          ],

Summary

Code Spell Checker now works with files in the added language. Please see the Code Spell Checker site for details. Code Spell Checker - Visual Studio Marketplace
