When starting from an empty workspace folder, you can ask the Gobo Eiffel extension to create a simple Eiffel project for you.
This is a convenient way to get started quickly with a minimal project structure, including:
The generated ECF file is automatically selected as the workspace ECF file, enabling code navigation, completion, analysis, and compilation features immediately.
To create a new Eiffel project:
Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
Type Gobo Eiffel and select Gobo Eiffel: Create Eiffel Project…
Enter a project name (for example hello_world) and press
Enter.
If this is your first time using the extension, VS Code will guide you through installing Gobo Eiffel.

The extension generates a ready-to-run Eiffel project that you can immediately edit, customize, compile and run.
