IDE Support
Oso’s IDE (Integrated Development Environment) integrations provide syntax
highlighting for .polar files. Additionally, our Visual Studio Code extension
will display diagnostics (errors & warnings) from your Oso Cloud policy in-line in
the editor and in VS Code's Problems pane.
Supported Editors
Visual Studio Code (opens in a new tab)
Features
- Syntax highlighting.
- Diagnostics (errors & warnings) from your Oso Cloud policy are displayed in-line in
the editor and in VS Code's Problems pane.
- The extension immediately highlights errors and warnings encountered while
parsing and validating your policy, such as if a rule is missing a trailing
semicolon, or a resource block declares
"owner"as both a role and a relation. You would normally see this feedback when uploading your policy to Oso Cloud, but the extension surfaces it while you edit your policy.

Configuration
By default, the VS Code extension is configured for the dialect of Polar used in the Oso open-source library (opens in a new tab). To use it for Oso Cloud, set the extension's "Polar Language Server: Language" to "cloud".
Because the configuration pertains to a particular workspace, it makes the most sense to configure it in Workspace Settings (and not User Settings) by selecting the "Workspace" tab at the top of VS Code's Settings editor.
Vim (opens in a new tab)
Features
- Syntax highlighting.
