What's your development environment setup for GNOME Shell extensions?
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

Looking to hear about your IDE/editor choice, debugging tools, testing approach, and any specific workflows or tools that make extension development easier.

I'm currently building out my very first extension. At the moment it's in a prototype stage, but I'm finding the iteration rate of testing my changes to be very slow. Especially as a JS beginner.

I'm working on it in Emacs with eglot as my LSP client and typescript-language-server as my LSP, but I'm finding that the autocomplete is not ideal. Many of the GNOME Shell object methods do not autocomplete and attempting to go to their definitions is not working either.

Has anyone solved these development environment challenges? What's working well for you?
