Question Pravin Barton · Sep 12, 2023

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/**, %.*, \%.*

Question Pietro Di Leo · Aug 11, 2023

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.

Question Michael Gosselin · Aug 28, 2023

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".

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.

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.

Discussion John Murray · Jun 15, 2023

In the discussions at https://community.intersystems.com/post/intersystems-studio-deprecated-starting-20232 one notable topic has been that some Studio users make regular use of its facilities for exporting multiple code artifacts (e.g. classes and routines) into a single XML file on the workstation, then exporting that file into a different server namespace.

Unless / until equivalent features are added to the VS Code ObjectScript extension, can these people fill the gap by using the System Explorer section of Management Portal?

Question Hannah Sullivan · Aug 3, 2023

Hi community,

I have an incorrect InterSystems Server Credentials password stored by the Workstation Keychain in VS Code. VS Code is trying to use this incorrect stored credential to access the server and does not prompt or allow me to input a different password. I do not see any settings associated with the Keychain or resetting those credentials. Does anyone know of the process to delete or replace a stored password here? 

Thanks!

Hannah

I like to add documentation to the top of every class I write. Is there a way to modify or create a template that would automatically add the lines below to the top of the class? I primarily use Studio IDE but would like to be able to do this using VS Code as well. 

/// Organization:
/// Version 1.0
/// Author/Co-author:
/// Project: 
/// Date: 
/// Description: 
/// Change Log:

Thanks.

Question Kevin Kindschuh · Jul 26, 2023

Visual Studio Code, like Atelier, connects to IRIS through the Web Server and a web service, unlike Studio that connect to the SuperServer port.

What about the VS Code terminal?  Does that open a shell with SSH or does it also use a web service?

In other words, does an IRIS developer using VS Code need direct access to the IRIS instance with SSH or the SuperServer port, in addition to the external or private web server to execute terminal commands?

Is that different with linux vs. Windows?

Announcement John Murray · Jun 29, 2023

VS Code has a powerful snippets capability, and its Marketplace offers a way for developers to publish their snippets so others can use them. However, publishing on Marketplace takes some effort and snippets targeting InterSystems coders will realistically only be of interest to a very small number of Marketplace visitors.

This inspired me to create oex-vscode-snippets-template, a GitHub template for creating repositories dedicated to publishing code snippets for InterSystems devs.

Question Michael Gosselin · Jun 15, 2023

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.
