Hi @John Murray ! Great idea!

Will snippets be shown also with client-centric approach for editing? Or this is only a server-side approach feature?

Hi Gautam!

It's not an answer for your question, but I encourage you to try manage tests via Package manager - in this case you don't need to create any directories and globals.

this will be:

USER>zpm "test your-package-name"

that will run all the tests. And you'll be able to introduce tests in a CI pipeline.

See the related article.

Installed. But failing to form a connection string. Cannot it just use what I have for VSCode connected automatically?

It wants me to create a server in server manager which I never used before (no need).

@Philipp Bonin  - is it possible to switch the color scheme back to the one I used before? The one that comes with the extension is too bright for me) Thanks!

Hi @Alex Woodhead!

  • List installed modules that have a previous IPM bytecode install

Having IPM client in place you can check the installed modules and its versions. The newly installed module will replace the old one.

  • List installed modules that would be affected by an IRIS upgrade. Is the newer source code even available in registered repos? (Postpone the IRIS upgrade)

I'm not sure I understand correctly what you are asking here. Anyway, one can setup their own IPM registry to supply its customers/clients with IPM modules. and this private IPM registry has the list of all the versions available and the stats of installations if this is set up. So any client that has access to this registry can install any desired version or just the latest if the version is omitted.

  • Provide a batch upgrade option, to upgrade installed modules to the SAME module version but with the newer version of IRIS $ZVersion Byte code

I'm not sure this functionality exists. It's better to have a newly published module version with the upgraded IRIS $zversion bytecode.

But if this functionality is in need please submit an issue.

Yes, indeed!

I had an issue with VSCode that didn't compile code. But VSCode window reload solved the problem and I saw the function in the list! Perfect!

Thank you, @Alex Woodhead !

Thanks Ed!

It is more that I convert ObjectScript to Python and it get stuck on Job command. Thought of something universal for such cases.

You also can manage it if you deploy your solution as an IPM package.

Here is an example of IPM manifest to deploy code without source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Export generator="Cache" version="25">
<Document name="demo.ZPM">
<Module>
  <Name>demo</Name>
  <Version>1.0.0</Version>
  <Description>DEMO.</Description>
  <Keywords>demo</Keywords>
  <SourcesRoot>src</SourcesRoot>
  <Resource Name="Sample.Demo.PKG" Deploy="true"/>
</Module>
</Document>
</Export>

Here are the release notes on introducing the feature.

Regarding CSP - I agree with @Alex Woodhead, you better convert your CSP to CLS classes derived from %CSP with %OnPage() where you have all your HTML, and thus you can deploy without code.

And you can refer to this CSP classes similar as you refer to CSP pages.

Hi Gautam!

You can take any of the official templates, e.g. this one - they have already git-source-control set up and connected with IPM.

So any class, listed in module.xml is automatically git-source-controlled for changes either in UI or in VSCode.
