On 2024-08-29, the team released Language Server v2.6.0, which includes more improvements for code completion (aka intellisense). That means that #dim, while still useful, is hardly necessary anymore. That's a good thing in my opinion.
If you are using the client-side development paradigm (i.e. editing code in local files that get imported and compiled onto the IRIS server your `objectscript.conn` settings point to) you can now use IPM in VS Code to manage the packages in your IRIS target by launching it from the Explorer view.

Please allow me to introduce you to a new way of interacting with IPM (InterSystems Package Manager), also known as ZPM,directly from inside Visual Studio Code.
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.
Since version 2.12.6 of "Intersystems ObjectScript" extension in VS Code, the compile process force the EOF automatically to LF. Have you encountered this issue and do you know how to resolve it?
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?
during an upgrade, a customer wants to load custom schemas in a particular order. For this, they renamed a file EPIC_MDM.HL7 to 1EPIC_MDM.HL7 Upon importing this file into their server using VSCode, the custom schema was renamed to 1EPIC_MDM.HL7 inside the <Category>
This is impacting the upgrade and they are looking for a way to import a custom schema without renaming the schema itself.
Instead of building a BP to execute stored procedures just to insert the data, I figured I would give Linked Stored Procedures a try since all I need to do is insert the data. I have proved in our MS SQL Development environment that it is possible, so I through I could just repoint the Linked Stored Procedure
Is there a wizard to override pieces of class (parameters, properties, methods, etc.) like there is in Studio? I can't find this functionality anywhere. If it's not there, it's certainly a piece I'll sorely miss as we transition to VS Code.
The VS Code extension development team is looking for beta testers to provide feedback on a proposed overhaul of the client-side editing workflow. The full list of changes can be found in the GitHub pull request description. Here are the highlights:
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:
After having some discussions at Global Summit and using a lot of package managers in my day to day development (npm,nuget,Chocolatey, etc) in addition to recently using the InterSystems Package Manager for some CICD process I'm building using Intersystems IRIS and IRIS 4 Health, I wanted an easy and integrated way to search/view/install packages related to the Intersystems tech stack.
I have some .vm (Velocity Templating Language) files that I'd like to be able to load into IRIS with the $System.OBJ.Load(filename) command, but it seems that only accepts XML files.
I've tried adding import/export logic in my custom studio document that will wrap the velocity content inside an XML document and vice versa, I've changed the existing Velocity files to have the extension .xml and be wrapped in XML, and I've included a .dtd file for them to reference. However, this doesn't seem to work.
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?

I'm working with isc.rest and am going through the tutorial right now. My project directory exists on my IRIS server. When I try to create a module.xml file in the root package, I get a #16006 error. I see that there is a "generate" command for zpm that should create a module.xml for me on my local filesystem. How can I create this module.xml in the same folder that holds my code living on the IRIS server?
I don't know why I can't get into management portal. I saw something related to permission issue of group allowed to start and stop and have already changed to root and Admin but still doesn't work.
When debugging a routine in vscode which requires input to a READ, there doesn't appear to be any way to enter the input. If the routine is running in a terminal with vscode attached then input can be done there, but can it be done with no attached process?
Migrate to VS Code this summer with our comprehensive Basics and Advanced Features training courses.
George James Software is offering migration strategies and training to support the adoption of VS Code with InterSystems IRIS, IRIS for Health, HealthShare, and Caché. We're in the unique position of having deep knowledge and understanding of both InterSystems platforms and VS Code, through our regular contributions to VS Code itself.
