While I love using VSCode for IRIS development work, one of the persistent frustrations with it has been the inability to display an object hierarch in the variables window while debugging. Only the object's reference identifier is displayed. Cache Studio's handling of the same issue is a little clunky, but it does at least have the option to display something as an object.
For now, I make do with a combination of the watch window and the command line in the debugging console -- but this feels just a step away from log.debug()/console.log() level debugging sometimes.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free source code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It provides built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js. You can add extensions to provide support for numerous other languages including ObjectScript.
The InterSystems extensions enable you to use VS Code to connect to an InterSystems IRIS server and develop code in ObjectScript. The Visual Studio Code Documentation is an excellent resource on VS Code, so it is a good idea to be familiar with it.

I've always worked with typical web applications (a bunch of code files that sit in a server that connects to an RDS). Now our team is responsible for different IRIS for Health environments. We are currently working to set up the local dev environment and this is the current scenario:
* IRIS for Health local development server is running in a container
* Developers are using VSCode with the objectScript plugin
* GitHub as a version control system for the code and configuration.

When wanting to use VS-Code for server-side editing.. - In VS-code I can right click on a server item (eg a class) to see a set of menu options including 'Server Source Control... ' and 'Server Command Menu...' at the bottom.
I noticed that these options are somewhat connected to my server-side source control hooks class that inherits from %Studio.SourceControl.Base, however, I am seeing different behavior between my custom subclass of this, and, the provided %Atelier.SourceControl subclass.
Hello everyone, this is with great pleasure that I announce the V2 of my application 'Contest-FHIR'.
In this new version, I used new tools and techniques I discovered at the EUROPEAN HEALTHCARE HACKATHON in which I was invited by InterSystems as a guest and as a mentor to display the multiple projects I did in my intership back in April 2022.
Today I present to you the V2 of my application, it can now transform CSV to FHIR to SQL to JUPYTER notebook.
Strap on this jetpack to boost your developer experience in Visual Studio Code.
DX Jetpack for VS Code was my entry for the 2023 Developer Tools Contest, where it achieved 2nd place in the Experts vote and 5th place in the Community vote. It is an extension pack for VS Code, bundling three entirely new extensions created by me, plus a couple that we at George James Software published previously.
If you're reluctant to install DX Jetpack right away, why not try it using a dev container? In the dev container is an InterSystems IRIS Community environment augmented with InterSystems Package Manager (IPM) and the isc-codetidy package.
We're pleased to invite all the developers to the upcoming "Enterprise-grade Source Code Management" webinar on May 21st at 11:00 AM EDT.
You will learn how Deltanji from George James Software can control large scale InterSystems applications throughout the development, testing, deployment and maintenance cycle.
Presenters: @George James, CEO, George James Software @John Murray, Senior Product Engineer, George James Software
What is Deltanji and what will be demonstrated at this webinar?
Following 2 local Webinars we had focused on VS Code ["Intro" and "Beyond Basics"; in Hebrew], I prepared for the participants some related links of relevant resources which we sent as a follow-up. Sharing them here as well for the benefit of the Community. You are all of course welcome to add more useful resources.
Every day coding with IRIS and docker I call the following 3 commands in VSCode terminal. Always the same for any projects:
docker-compose build ; to build the container
docker-compose up -d ; to run the IRIS in container
docker-compose exec iris iris session iris ; to open the IRIS terminal
Is there any way to map the key sequence which will type me the rest?
Hi - Recently I have been investigating an annoying situation whilst editing ObjectScript classes or routines in VSCode.
What was happening to me was, as I was typing in lines of code into my class (for example, adding a new Method, or changing the Class signature, or a block of code), this would quickly get syntax checked, re-formatted, and compiled - inevitably, (since I would be mid-way through my typing), this would generate compilation errors.
Today we are pleased to publish a new extension pack for Visual Studio Code. This pack provides a convenient way to install and manage a set of extensions which together make VS Code a great tool for ObjectScript developers.
We've just published an update to the Serenji extension for VS Code. Starting with this version (3.0.7) you can now debug the code that implements your REST services. Here's a taster:
Currently when 'Importing and Compiling' multiple files I have to click 'Overwrite on Server' for each file. Is there a way of choosing 'Overwrite on Server' for all files I have selected.
I've just installed Visual Studio Code, installed the InterSystems ObjectScript Extension Pack as documented here, connected it to a local InterSystems IRIS instance, and created a workspace associated with one of that instance's namespaces. However, after doing this, I don't see the ObjectScript button on the left toolbar when opening the workspace.
I have just created a new Global Master Topic, "IRIS Cheatsheets". IRIS has introduced a lot of new functionality, especially in scripting languages, FHIR R4 support, enhanced Interoperability Tools, and IRIS Analytics. Having spent 35 years working on Windows-based PC's and Laptops, I have surprisingly little knowledge of Linux, Docker and Git. Furthermore, I have written almost every application and Interface in ObjectScript with splatterings of SQL, .Net, and Java Gateways and the most basic knowledge of WinSCP, Putty, SSH. All that changed when I received my first Raspberry Pi.

I am happy to share with you my first experience of using a docker container version of IRIS for Health to explore your interest in using or having a trial by taking the advantage of a docker container that is lightweight, and easy to deploy. This cookbook will go through the implementation steps using the GitHub repository called ENSDEMO written by Renan Lourenco.
