ISCLOGs are a useful debugging tool provided with IRIS that can help you troubleshoot many different issues. For more information about creating these logs, please see the following IRIS documentation: "Logging".

Motivation

I didn't know about ObjectScript until I started my new job. Objectscript isn't actually a young programming language. Compared to C++, Java and Python, the community isn't as active, but we're keen to make this place more vibrant, aren't we?

I've noticed that some of my colleagues are finding it tricky to get their heads around the class relationships in these huge projects. There aren't any easy-to-use modern class diagram tool for ObjectScript.

Related Work

I have tried relavant works:

I know that people who are completely new to VS Code, Git, Docker, FHIR, and other tools can sometimes struggle with setting up the environment. So I decided to write an article that walks through the entire setup process step by step to make it easier to get started.

I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a comment at the end - let me know if the instructions were clear, if anything was missing, or if there’s anything else you'd find helpful.

The setup includes:

✅ VS Code – Code editor
✅ Git – Version control system
✅ Docker – Runs an instance of IRIS for Health Community
✅ VS Code REST Client Extension – For running FHIR API queries
✅ Python – For writing FHIR-based scripts
✅ Jupyter Notebooks – For AI and FHIR assignments

Before you begin: Ensure you have administrator privileges on your system.

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,

Does anyone could help me ?

Just curious what the process is for debugging either a .py file that is uploaded to a specific namespace/location or a python classmethod defined in a .cls file.

My method can be run via the "Debug" breadcrumb but it doesnt hit breakpoints it just runs without a debugger. Also objectscript methods debug correctly

Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the January 2025 release is now available.

To VSCode experts - see the screenshot. When right-click on a method with intentions to proceed to the source code:

I am always confused about what to choose: declaration or definition. What is the difference?

Hello All,

I'm new to InterSystems, just wanted to check if we can configure the Visual Studio code to use it as Studio for Intersystems development. I tried following the instructions in few posts but nothing worked. Please guide me to setup this

VSCode is the most used IDE in the world. It is strategic have more extensions for VSCode for InterSystems technologies to keep increasing the developer community.

My new app IRIS VSCode Global Editor is an excellent sample to learn how to create extensions to IRIS. You can check it on https://openexchange.intersystems.com/package/IRIS-Global-VSCode-Editor.

We've just made a change to Server Manager with the aim of it coping better when a stored password is no longer valid, for example because it has been changed.

Hello,

I'm trying to debug objectscript ClassMethods in VSCode, but nothing happens when clicking the Debug button over the ClassMethod.

This was working with previous versions - tested with IRIS 2020.

hi everyone,

I'm trying to make some use of AI to help with coding. To achieve this I've moved to VS Code linking to a cache instance, and installed the "Cody" extension from Sourcegraph that talks to Claude Sonnet.
