Hi all, I have released the latest version of VSCode extension for ObjectScript already a month ago, and finally a time for the info about this new release.

So, what's new in the release:

What's new in this version

added export setting "objectscript.export.addCategory" if enabled uses the previous behaviour, adds category folder to export folder, disabled by default
added Server actions menu, by clicking on server info from status bar. Open Management portal, Class Reference and toggle connection.
Class Suggestion in ##class, Extends, As, CompileAfter, DependsOn, PropertyClass
$SYSTEM suggestion by Classes from %SYSTEM
Import and compile folder or file by context menu in File Explorer
Server Explorer, now possible to open any other namespace
Macros suggestion

For details how it works now, look further.

Intellisense

Class name suggestion after Extends keyword
Class name suggestion after keyword As. Should work in many cases such as with
- Property
- Parameter
- Method definition
- and so on.
Macros usage suggestion name after typing triple dollar $$$
Special variable $SYSTEM suggestion.

Other changes

Import and Compile all files from the File Explorer
Server Explorer, view another namespace.
Go to System Management Portal
And to Class Reference.

As always fill free to fill any issues you faced when used this extension, or any new features you would like to see.

If you like my job, you can donate to me in any preferable way.

Dmitry,

An amazing piece of work.

I tested this with a local install of IRIS:
IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2019.1 (Build 510U) Thu Mar 14 2019 14:13:37 EDT

In Studio I created a test class in the USER namespace

I then opened VSCode, changed to the USER namespace and was able to open the test class

However when I tried to edit the code I saw:

Not sure what's wrong here - any suggestions ?

Thanks,

David

David, thanks for the feedback.

Nothing wrong, explorer does not support editing, and opens files in read-only. You should export it to have local copy, and you'll be able to edit and compile.

But, with the next release I already have editing mode, so your way would work. But this way anyway not recommended.

David Brock Jul 1, 2019 to Dmitry Maslennikov

Thanks for the confirmation.

I right clicked the Class in explorer (in VSCode), hit export and nothing happened.

Is it saved somewhere locally ? If so how do I define where it should save it ?

Yes, it should save it locally, if you opened VSCode with folder, so, it should be in src. And it is configurable. You should be able to find log in the Output view, where you have to select ObjectScript in drop-down. Compile logs, you will find there too.

Thanks - I see the package path created but no .cls file

So, you don't see your exported file by the path logged in Output, looks quite strange? Could you report this issue?

Hi Dimitry,

I wanted to try VSCode. But I get no items in the Objectscript Explorer.

The connection is set and in VSCode displays ip:57772/SAMPLES/Connected in Status Bar.

As mentioned I also added the %Developer Role for api/atelier...

Any idea what could be wrong?

Cache Version: Cache for UNIX (IBM AIX for System Power System-64) 2018.1.2

Thanks a lot

Helmut

Could you please create a new issue here. I'll try to help to solve it. I don't have AIX system, but not sure if it could be a problem.

If you see something unexpected, you can try to look at Output for ObjectScript and just main Log, maybe some errors there, which may help to diagnose.

Helmut Mühleder Jul 4, 2019 to Dmitry Maslennikov

Problem solved, i did not add an folder first.

But is there a short documentation for the development workflow?

I exported a src file. Then I can find it in my src folder an can edit it there.

Then I think I click on it and import and compile? But nothing happens.

I am sure I am doing something wrong

Thanks again,

Helmut Mühleder Jul 4, 2019 to Helmut Mühleder

also solved.

Good to hear that you solved it. Unfortunately, development workflow guide is on the way, yet. But I'm going to do it this month.

First of all, any logging related to this extension goes to Output ObjectScript, so, you maybe can find there errors, or compile log.

Actually, it should compile class and notify about success or errors, just after change and save any class/routine.

Import and compile from explorer, good to use when you have changed many files in the sources folder, by Source Control System for example.

You can also trigger compile from command pallete and with a shortcut Cmd +F7/ Cmd + F7
