How to export a project via Visual Studio Code?

Hi Brett, Unfortunately, your answer is not fully satisfactory, as Export Documents to XML File... does not automatically export the project and all its content (at least not for me), and it doesn't fire the server-side studio extension hook "ExportProject" that in our case would automatically

* Check that the project contains all necessary classes and files by checking the content of about 1000 classes.

* Export the project's individual files for server-side source control into individual files.

* Export the entire project into a single XML file to be given away or as a backup of the project at a certain point in time.

Am I missing something, or is that very convenient method of automation not possible with the VS Code integration?

Ah I forgot to mention ExportProject is in our case fired by "OnBeforeLoad" of any prj file and on OnAfterSave if an "prj" item saves. Unfortunately these two operations seem to never fire when working with projects in VS Code

I just found a combination of vs code workspace configuration that worked! 🎉

You have to use a Multi-Root-Workspace with at least one folder in the local filesystem (usually the folder in which the .code-workspace file is stored) and at least one server-side virtual folder.
The later is necessary to enable the Project Explorer in the InterSystems view container, where you can select the "Export Project Contents" option.
AFAIK, this is the only way to execute this command in VS Code.

The feature "Export Project Content" now only works as expected, if (and in my experience only if) the  IRIS server connection is defined in the .code-workspace file of the current workspace.

{
  "folders": [
    {
      "name": "Local Root Folder""path": ".",
    },
    {
      "name": "Server Folder: local-iris:IRISAPP (read-only)",
      "uri": "isfs-readonly://local-iris:irisapp/?mapped=0&system=0",
    },
  ],
  "settings": {
    "intersystems.servers": {
      "local-iris": {
        "webServer": {
          "scheme": "http",
          "host": "localhost",
          "port": 52773,
        },
        "username": "_SYSTEM",
      },
    },
    "objectscript.conn": {
      "server": "local-iris",
      "ns": "IRISAPP",
      "active": true,
    },
  },
}

It won't work (as reported here and in other posts) if there is an active server connection that is defined in any other place, e.g. in .vscode/settings.json.

@Brett Saviano is this what you meant in your previous answer?
