Editor Guide

OSC2 Studio's editor provides a professional editing experience for OpenSCENARIO 2, with syntax highlighting, intelligent auto-completion, and real-time error detection.

Real-time Error Detection​

The editor includes a built-in validation engine that checks for errors automatically as you type:

  • Syntax Validation: Checks for syntax errors in real-time, underlining errors with red squiggly lines
  • Semantic Validation: Type checking, scope analysis, and other semantic checks — also marked with red squiggly lines
  • Validation runs automatically in the background — no manual triggering needed

Syntax Highlighting​

The editor supports syntax highlighting for OSC2 language keywords. Different types of keywords and syntactic elements are color-coded:

  • Keywords: scenario, do, with, serial, parallel, etc.
  • Types: vehicle, pedestrian, etc.
  • Modifiers: speed, position, etc.
  • Comments: Displayed in distinct colors

Auto-completion​

The editor provides code auto-completion for OSC2 language:

  • Keyword Completion: Suggestions appear automatically as you type
  • Context Awareness: Suggestions are filtered based on the current code context
  • Code Snippets: Ready-to-use code templates for quick insertion

Other Features​

  • Bracket Matching: Automatically highlights matching bracket pairs
  • Code Folding: Collapse/expand code blocks
  • Line Numbers: Line numbers on the left for easy reference
