Serenji debugger and editor now available for Visual Studio Code

#Debugging #Development Environment #George James Software #VSCode #Open Exchange

We at George James Software are pleased to announce that our acclaimed code debugger and editor Serenji is now available as a Visual Studio Code extension.

As well as supporting the latest InterSystems IRIS platform Serenji also works with earlier platforms, including versions lacking the server-side Atelier API support required by other VS Code extensions.

Serenji connects you directly to the code in your namespaces, resulting in an experience more familiar to existing Studio users. No need to export and import classes and routines.

We believe Serenji is the first extension to bring VS Code's powerful debugging features to ObjectScript developers.

Serenji also bundles a free edition of our Deltanji source code management tool.

Read more about Serenji at https://georgejames.com/serenji or use the Extensions view in VS Code to find and install it.

We look forward to your feedback through this Developer Community article.

We just published 3.0.2. If you already installed 3.0.0 your VSCode extension should upgrade automatically next time VSCode checks for extension updates. Or you can trigger that from the "..." menu on the Extensions viewlet. For best effect you should also upgrade the server-side part wherever you've previously been connecting from 3.0.0.

Changes in 3.0.2:

  • Upgrade embedded Deltanji to version 7.0.
  • Support networked Deltanji Enterprise edition environments.
  • Automatically add embedded Deltanji aliases for new usernames.
  • Report permission problems at connection time.
  • Support prompting for username at connect time.
  • Remove 'Preview' flag from Marketplace entry.
  • Improve documentation.

Serenji is also listed on Open Exchange.

If you have VSCode then  select the Extensions viewlet and type Serenji in the Marketplace search field.  Then click on the first result returned (Serenji 3.0.2).   In the right hand panel you will see Details about the extension including a section about Installation.

If you don't have VSCode installed yet, you can view the same information by following this link:  https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=georgejames.vscode-s...

In either case there is a link from the Installation section to an additional page on the georgejames.com website that gives more details about how to get started with Serenji.  The direct link to this is: https://georgejames.com/files-cgi/doc/serenji/3.0.2/GettingStarted.html

Ask here if you have any more questions.
