Hey everyone.

I was wondering if anyone had come across a way of reformatting ObjectScript within VSCode.

I have the various Intersystems Extensions installed (InterSystems Language Pack,  InterSystems ObjectScript,  InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack,  InterSystems Server Manager) but a formatter does not seem to be something included within this variety of extensions.

Hi

With this servers definition in VSCode:

Access to 2023.1.2 works just fine, 2024.

Hy,

I have a question how to call another methode inside the main method ?

I am currently trying to better my development process by using Visual Studio Code because I'm more familiar and comfortable with it than Studio.

I've followed the guide here, but I'm still having issues. I initially didn't have the Web Socket protocol allowed on my Web Gateway server, but I enabled that and restarted the server with no luck.

Am I just on too old of a version? Is there any way I'd be able to use Visual Studio Code and be able to debug with what I currently have? I wish I could upgrade to IRIS, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Is there an easy way to open classes in VS Code?

In studio you go open and just type the class name and it opens up the class. 

In VS Code need to know the full path, is there a quick way? It is probably the one thing preventing from using VSCode full time (apart from not seeing the .luts or csp files)

Hi everyone, 

Does anyone know how to export projects via VSC? 

I opened the project through the "InterSystems Tools" plugin (command is "Edit Code in Project") and I can correctly work on it.

However, when I try using the "ObjectScript" plugin to export the project (right click on the project -> "Export Project Contents")

This message appears and it is not possible to export the project:

I've tried also to open a new window, then a folder and finally the project, but nothing changes. 

This is an example of my workspace: 

Anyone knows how to do it? 

Thank you! 

Hi everyone,

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time with Visual Studio Code (VSC), and I've been wondering if there's a terminal or a panel within VSC that acts like the Intersystems Studio Output panel, which serves both as an input and output window and allows the execution of ObjectScript commands.

Could anyone help? Thanks :)

Hello All,

Visual studio code doesn't allow debugging of code or running of code as far I can see. Since I am new, could someone guide me on this. 

Thanks 

Hello,

Since version 1.93 of VS Code, the “import and compile” process has been very slow (more than an hour).
Have you encountered this issue and do you know how to resolve it?

Thank you,

Hello dear developers,

I am currently doing an internship and learning about InterSystems IRIS and ObjectScript and have downloaded and installed the community version of IRIS.

I have not made any changes in the Management Portal.
In Visual Studio Code I have loaded the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack.

If I now want to compile a file, VSC throws an error:
"ERROR #16006: Document name 'x.csp' is invalid"

The name of the file is "index.csp"
This error also appears when I try to compile other files.
I have noticed that the first 4 characters of the name are always missing.

I am trying to set up VS Code so that it will connect to a new server running IRIS 2023.1, and I can't seem to get the setup to accept my errors. I enter all the requested information, and at the end I receive a message:

Failed to store server '$(name)' definition.

Source: InterSystems Server Manager (Extension)

I've submitted a bug log with VSCode, but then I noticed the source, and figured it might be related to the extension instead of the program, and was wondering if others have received this message. The VSCode is 1.79.1, for the record.

Thanks as always.

We are a group of interface analysts in a healthcare setting, running IRIS for Health 2024, having upgraded over time from an old ENSEMBLE environment.  We have been working on a wish list of development goals, but are having trouble finding the correct, best practice method/path for getting to what we envision.

Current state:  We run IRIS for Health on a Redhat 8 virtual machine.  We run Interoperability productions (IE.cls) out of 6 namespaces.  We have a dev/test box and a production box.

Hello,

I have installed the latest version of IRIS (without a web server) to replace my community version with a embeded web server. 
I tried to connect Visual Studio Code to my namespace, but I am unable to do so. I keep receiving the message "Not found." 
Here is my configuration:

"pc-david": {
    "webServer": {
        "scheme": "http",
        "host": "localhost",
        "port": 80
    },
    "description": "pc-david",
    "username": "_SYSTEM"
}

When I modify the host and port, I can successfully connect to other remote databases (Cache 2018 or IRIS).

My VSCode folder was set up to connect to a namespace, but the namespace was deleted. I tried changing the namespace from the menu but it fails (could not retrieve list of namespaces), but I do get the following error message:

This server does not have specified namespace 'FEAT-1-MY-FIRST-ISSUE'.

You must select one of the following: %SYS, CICD-DEMO, CUSTOMER, HSCUSTOM, HSLIB, HSSYS, PERSONAL, PHONEBOOK, USER.

Check your server details in Settings (gitlab-cicd-dev[FEAT-1-MY-FIRST-ISSUE]).

Hello my Friends,

I have a question, I have a data like this

And I want to create a display like this, which I can put a status column beside the Item Column

The status become new, if there's no previous item, and if there's a same item after the first one, the status become Old

Does anyone could help me ?

I need to display it without subquery if possible

Thank You

Best Regards,

Steven Henry

The company I work for have a repository for one of our products which already contains both InterSystems and non-InterSystems source code. I'm in the process of trying to migrate us over to using VSCode to edit the InterSystems source but am stuck on some issues surrounding the files on disk and the routines in the IRIS instance.

The folder structure inside the repo is \appname\src\database. Directly underneath the database folder is all of our InterSystems source code. If I add a new routine to the root of the database folder called ROUTINEA.

In the wew versions of IRIS the Studio is going to be deprecated. In the Studio when editing classes there is an option to add information at package level, with the option "Package Information" that shows this dialog:
 

In VSCode there is the option to add/edit this package information? If no, how can one add/edit this information without the Studio?

Thanks.

We have classes in a Production environment that are causing us some issues - example attached.

When we export them from the production environment the XML contains a snippet like the following:

<UDLText name="T">
<Content><![CDATA[
//Property any As list Of %XML.String(XMLNAME = "any", XMLPROJECTION = "ANY") [ SqlFieldName = _any ];

]]></Content>
</UDLText>

When imported and compiled into an Ensemble instance this class works as expected.

When viewed/edited in a development environment we run into issues - the presentation is similar with both Studio and VS Code.

We recently moved from using the Private Web Server, to using an Apache/Web Gateway setup and moved towards using the built in LDAP functionality within IRIS. Since then, we have 1 user that uses VSCode (/api/atelier) heavily that continues to have issues signing into IRIS through VS Code and the /api/atelier extension.

I am trying to troubleshoot two issues..

When I'm writing code in Intersystems Studio code completion is different than in VS Code. It would be greate if VS Code would react the same way on code completion .. This happens is studio

When I do this in VS Code it doesn't show the object but it shows ??  all possible items ?? 

Hi folks,

We are in the process of migrating from Ensemble to IRIS.

After the migration I would like to find all usages of deprecated classes and methods in all of our code. This is to align with the changes in package like %SYSTEM.SQL for example.

Is there an easy way to do this, or maybe a tool that can assist?

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Open question for all of you...

We are getting some warnings in our code of a class definition when switching namespaces in the code, because the classes we use in different namespace wouldn't exist in each other's... an example:

ClassMethod DoSomething() {
     set oldNS=$zutil(5)
     znspace "SECONDNS"
     set ok=##class(MyPackage.MyClass).MyMethod()
     znspace oldNS
}

In that example, the vscode "Intersystems Language Server" extension would tag "MyPackage.

Hi everyone,

Today I have a simple yet potentially valuable question: How can I begin a new line of text within $$$LOGINFO or $$$TRACE?

For instance, if I need to display a long log message within the visual trace, is it possible to do something like this:

$$$LOGINFO("object: 'This is a try'"
    _"this is the second line with an example parameter: "_x
    _"this is the third line with an example parameter: "_y
    ")

Does anyone know if such a feature exists? It has the potential to greatly enhance code readability and layout.

Thanks :) 

Hi developers!

Those who code IRIS solutions in VSCode using Docker often use the convenient ObjectScript menu, which contains links to Management Portal, Class Reference, Unittest portal, Productions, etc.

While drilling down to a Dev Container to code Embedded Python there is no such option, at least within my settings:

So I don't know how to connect to it. 

Thoughts?

InterSystems ObjectScript extension for VS Code, version 3.0.1

Am also asking this question on the extension's GitHub page: Request textDocument/documentSymbol failed. Error: name must not be falsy · intersystems-community/vscode-objectscript · Discussion #1530 - but suspect more eyes will see it here, which might help gather additional information.

Tried to compile some legacy ObjectScript code via Import/Compile in VS Code using the vscode-objectscript extension. Getting an error, and the content of the file is left changed on the filesystem simply by being compiled.

Issue

Breakpoints do not work when using VS Code Debug this method feature on a ClassMethod. Debug runs like normal and I can sometimes see 'running' on the CALL STACK menu. In the BREAKPOINTS menu, the breakpoints will start red, like normal, but eventually turn gray. On-hover for a grey breakpoint is the message "Breakpoint Cannot Be Mapped". After the method finishes, the breakpoint turns red again. No error messages appear. This is an intermittent issue, as sometimes it runs fine. So far, I have not been able to figure out the conditions to re-create this issue.

Any suggestions?

How would one jump to a particular line by typing a tag and adding an offset in VS Code (zMethodName + n)? I know this can be done in Studio and would be particularly helpful for debugging error messages.

Using VSCode in a team.

Classes are edited locally and then saved to server.

Sometimes if we save a change to a class the "version on the server" does not happen or does not function properly and the class gets overwritten.

All the intersystems extensions are updated.

objectscript.overwriteServerChanges is false

This has the potential for serious issues if it happens in a persistent class, but it is difficult to reliably recreate.

1. Is there a command to do the check manually( without saving)?

2. Is there a some setting I can change to help with this?

I am having code like this,

set args = []

set resultSet = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect( , sql_whereClause, args)

Instead of placing args[1],args[2] etc into the above I want to pass the whole args at a time if it possible.?

Folks!

Could you please share any best practices on how to debug Embedded Python code?

Given I have the following class method:

ClassMethod HideShip() As %Status [ Language = python ]
{
    import iris
    shipsgl=iris.gref(iris.cls(__name__)._GetParameter("BoardStorage"))
    shipsgl.kill()
    from random import Random
    board=iris.cls(__name__)._GetParameter("BoardRange")
    x=random.randint(0,board+1)
    y=random.randint(0,board+1)
    shipsgl.set([x,y],1)
}

And when I run it shows the following error:

USER>d ##class(eshvarov.sample.SeaBattle.GamePython).
