Usage Overview

GAMS-IDE transforms VS Code into a powerful development environment for GAMS.

Core Workflow

The typical development loop in GAMS-IDE is:

1. Write Code: Use the editor with syntax highlighting, snippets, and autocomplete.
2. Compile/Check: Save your file (auto-check) or press Ctrl+Shift+B to check for syntax errors.
3. Fix Errors: Use the Problem Panel to navigate to errors.
4. Run: Execute the model with F5.
5. Analyze: Check the Data Panel or Listing file for results.

Key Features

• Writing GAMS: Intelligent features like model-aware autocomplete.
• Compiling & Executing: Flexible run configurations.
• References Sidebar: Navigate your model's symbol hierarchy.
• Data Panel: View results directly in VS Code.
