GitHub - openhab/openhab-vscode: VS Code extension for openHAB configuration files is a nice extension for DSL rules where you can get mouse over item state tool tips. However, it does not seem to work with js files. Is there an equivalent for javascript ?

Jep. That never had worked in the first place. Noticed that too. Added sitemap support. Here you go: Release v1.0.1 · s0170071/openhab-vscode · GitHub

[image] s0170071: I just updated the extension. Mouse over for Item values does not work anymore on *.sitemap files. Any idea?

I would encourage you to consider a PR or series of PRs with all of these improvements being made. It will benefit the community more widely.

Thx for the PR. Unfortunately there were no PR merged since years for that repo :joy:

It is part of the openHAB project so it should be possible to get someone to review and merge the PR. Someone may need to volunteer to be a maintainer though if the current maintainer is no longer active. It’s better than needing to fork the repo at least.
