natvis-join

A CLI tool to join multiple .natvis files into one.

Visual Studio can be configured to use multiple .natvis files. In Visual Studio Code the plugin vscode-cpptools can be configured to use a single .natvis file.

This tool helps by combining multiple .natvis files into one which can then be used in Visual Studio Code.

A Ruby interpreter is required.

You can install the gem with $ gem install natvis-join or you can just copy the self-contained file bin/natvis-join to use as a loose script.

$ natvis-join <paths> [-o <output_file>]

• paths are paths on the disk. If an entry is a file, it is appended to the output. If it is a directory it's scanned (non-recursively) for .natvis files and all found are appended to the output
• output_file is the optional output .natvis file. If it is not provided, the result is printed to the standard output.
