#VSCode

When using VS Code to develop with Object Script, the Server Credentials prompt for connecting to the IRIS instance is happy accept a blank for UnknownUser. See screen shot:

From here VS Code happily connects to the IRIS instance using unauthenticated access. But the standard VS Code "Go To Definition" appears to do nothing. Whilst looking through the documentation I found that in the Language Server extension, there is a setting to output verbose trace details.

Hi,

I'm trying to access to my datas stored in a RecordMap from SQLAlchemy, and I need to access to any tables already created before using SQLAlchemy.

Here is some part of my code :

TestBase:

classTestBase(DeclarativeBase)

Engine creation and entities binding :

bases = {
    "TEST"create_engine_and_session

My RecordMap entity :

class"extend_existing"

Each part of my code are in different files, the "User_BastideRecord.

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.

Occasionally, in VSCode, compile errors stop displaying. I'll be getting errors on compile all along (expected, and it compiles while saving using CTRL+S), until they'll suddenly stop. I haven't found any solution, including restarting VSCode and restarting my user session in Fedora. I'm running IRIS locally on Fedora and running VSCode also on the same machine. The only solution I've found is to restart IRIS. It's a solo dev environment and relatively small, so restarting isn't anything but an annoyance.

Are there any known bugs around this or any other solutions?

As first announced in May, and after many presentations and robust discussions at Global Summit 2023, we are continuing with the plans to deprecate InterSystems Studio (deprecated designates a feature or technology that InterSystems no longer actively develops, and for which better options exist).

InterSystems Studio was deprecated in 2023.2 but will continue to ship with versions 2023.3 and 2024.1. The latter will be the last release that includes Studio as part of the Windows kit, and it will be the only version that allows connections to future versions of InterSystems IRIS.

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?

import os

# Get environment variables
db_host = os.getenv('DB_HOST')
db_port = os.getenv('DB_PORT')
db_namespace = os.getenv('DB_NAMESPACE')
db_username = os.getenv('DB_USERNAME')
db_password = os.getenv('DB_PASSWORD')

# Create a database connection
conn = irisnative.createConnection(db_host, db_port, db_namespace, db_username, db_password)

# Create an IRIS instance from this connection
iris_native = irisnative.createIris(conn)

status = iris_native.classMethodValue('%SYSTEM.OBJ', 'Load', 'Production.cls', 'ck')

if status == 1:
    print("The Production.cls file was compiled successfully.

When you use VS Code to edit source code, the settings model allows you to specify folder-specific values for some settings by using a settings.json file located in a .vscode sub-folder of the workspace root folder. A value set here takes precedence over one from your personal settings when you are working within that workspace root folder.

If you use an isfs-type workspace to operate directly in a namespace on a server, you first need to configure that server to support a special .vscode folder for each of its namespaces, present and future.

Does anybody know if there is a wizard to create SOAP client/server web services for IRIS from VS Code? I would like to not use Studio anymore but for SOAP web services looks like there is no alternative in VSCode.

Thank you in advance!

Until a couple of days ago the most downloaded bookmark extension for VS Code, Bookmarks by Alessandro Fragnani, wasn't able to handle the isfs file references that the InterSystems ObjectScript extension uses when you are operating in a Studio-like way and editing classes & routines directly in a namespace.

In support of our efforts at George James Software to facilitate migration from Studio I raised the issue with Alessandro and helped him resolve the incompatibility.

Are you preparing to use VS code for the first time? Just make sure you have enough privileges.

Have you defined your Iris server in your VS Code settings, and still get the following error?

VS Code accesses Iris/HealthConnect using the web application /api/atelier. If you do not have permission (i.e. you are using an LDAP user to connect and the web application is not configured to support LDAP), this is the reason why you couldn't connect.

you will also notice a 'Login Failure' entry in the audit database, with the reason for it.

When we add a new class in VSCode, the name automatically is set to <Folder>.<Filename>.

Because we are doing interoperability, we remove the default and type "interop" to get assistance on creating the class. This works fine on some machines, however on others it generates:

/// DescriptionClassExtends

So it uses the full pathname instead of Test.MyProd.

I guess it is a setting somewhere (settings.json?), but how can this be fixed/what is the setting that controls this?

Hi All,

is there any way how to hide or remove storage "Histogram" section in the file with persistent class definition, but keep the data both in globals and sql table?
The reason is that we use on-premise version control system and since the data is sensitive, it cannot be uploaded along with the files.

I have already tried "NoExtent" keyword, but that does remove the sql table and just keeps the data only in globals. The only solution I have come up with so far is to remove all the "property" sections from storage in file everytime before committing changes.

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: "

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

Thanks :) 

Hello,

I begin to work with VSCode and all is ok but i have just one problem with ObjectscriptQuality plugin. I have no feedback in the problem tab using the objectScriptQuality plugin.

I only have feedback from InterSystems Language Server plugin. Where could the problem come from?

My goal is to use objectscriptQyality with the basic rules at first

I work with iris 22.3

The VS Code extension for Deltanji source control has been updated to version 1.2.3. View the change log here for a full list of updates: https://bit.ly/3PqMJ26

Users can now benefit from the VS Code Quick Diff feature when using the ObjectScript extension. To use this feature just click on the gutter decorations to reveal an inline diff experience, where you can contribute contextual commands. You just need to provide VS Code with the original contes of any given file.

Find out more about the Quick Diff feature here > https://bit.

We have some custom tools that do project based deployment from environment to environment. In VS Code, we're struggling to find the best way to export PRJ files that contain the contents of a project the way we were able to in Studio. We can edit existing projects, and in server side editing we can create projects, but we can't seem to extract the project files (Not the classes, the wrapper) to store in our source control solution for deployment purposes.

I realize that a transition to ZPM would potentially render project files in this way unnecessary, but we're not there yet.

Hi Community
In this article, I will introduce my application IRIS-GenLab.
IRIS-GenLab is a generative AI Application that leverages the functionality of Flask web framework, SQLALchemy ORM, and InterSystems IRIS to demonstrate Machine Learning, LLM, NLP, Generative AI API, Google AI LLM, Flan-T5-XXL model, Flask Login and OpenAI ChatGPT use cases.

native-api-py-demo

This is a demo of IRIS Native API for Python, which uses Python to call the Object Script method and flow the message in production. Python obtains the message after flow and the message in global, and uses ZPM Package deployment.

Firstly, we need to install the Native API package

Enter on the command line

For several years now Visual Studio Code has supported the notebook coding paradigm with a maturing UX and an API that is enabling a notebook extensions ecosystem to grow. One of the best-known notebook platforms is Jupyter Notebooks. A Microsoft team publishes an extension that allows VS Code to handle .ipynb notebook files. These can either work against a local Python environment or connect to a Jupyter Server, which typically hosts remote Python environments with beefier resources.

What if your InterSystems IRIS environments, whether local on your workstation or remote in your organization / cloud, could operate as Jupyter Servers? And not only for Embedded Python but also for ObjectScript and SQL

Thank you for your time to read this, 

Could you please guide , how to import XML schemas in VS Code to class files? 

Thanks,

I have a VS Code workspace using server-side editing with separate folders for different namespaces on the instance:

{
	"folders""name"

The VS Code search works well to find symbols in ObjectScript files, but it searches across all folders. Is there a way to include or exclude certain folders from the search? I've tried adding some patterns to the "files to exclude" dialog, but none of these seem to work: SYS/**, /SYS/**, %.*, \%.*

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 :)

This scenario showed up yesterday at a client site when I was delivering bespoke consultation on migration from Studio to VS Code.

The site's servers had been configured to use delegated authentication, but the "Delegated" checkbox hadn't been set against the /api/atelier web application, which is what the members of the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack use to make their connections.

As soon as the we application got its checkbox set and the Server Manager refresh button was clicked, namespaces could be enumerated on the server.

I have a problem. Occasionally, I am getting locked out of IRIS because of password failures. However, the failures aren't necessarily related to my password.  We are using VSCode, and I have installed one or two proposed APIs for use with the software (because that's just how I am; I want to learn the new stuff).

Today, I had that problem again. The step that caused the problem was most likely when I was trying to switch the branch I was using and updating within VSCode. Let's say I was switching from branch "1A" to branch "2B".

Hey Community,

Enjoy watching the new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯ VS Code: Modern Development on All Platforms @ Global Summit 2023

InterSystems has also released IRIS as containerized deployments. This post is to demonstrate how InterSystems IRIS and applications those rely on IRIS a backend can be packaged into an image and be run in other machines in containers and how simple it is to do that.

A container runs image/s which have all the necessary executables, binary code, libraries, and configuration files. And the images can be moved from one machine to another, and  an images repository like Docker Hub can simplify that process.

I have used an application from Open Exchange for this demo.

Hi,

i'm starting to try to switch to VS Code with ISC integration plugins.
Everything seems fine until i get to and environment with CCR enabled. I can't open any class in RW and i don't know how to check the class out.

Is it supported? What do i need to do to use it?

Thanks

Pietro

Documentation here explains how IRIS Portal can be launched in a tab in the VS Code editing area from Server Manager. One limitation though is that if you then perform an action in Portal which needs to invoke a modal message box in the browser (e.g. window.alert() or window.confirm()) this doesn't work.

I created this issue on the VS Code repository requesting a change that will unblock this. The issue needs more evidence of community support within the next week if it is to stand a chance of progressing.
