Announcement John Murray · Oct 9, 2023 The leading bookmark extension for VS Code now works with server-side editing workspaces Until a couple of days ago the most downloaded bookmark extension for VS Code, Bookmarks by Alessandro Fragnani, wasn't able to handle the isfs file references that the InterSystems ObjectScript extension uses when you are operating in a Studio-like way and editing classes & routines directly in a namespace. #VSCode 2 1 0 157
Announcement John Murray · Jun 29, 2023 Share VS Code snippets as IPM / ZPM packages 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. #Contest #VSCode Open Exchange app 3 5 0 272
Announcement John Murray · Jun 4, 2023 Announcing Jupyter Server Proxy for VS Code For several years now Visual Studio Code has supported the notebook coding paradigm with a maturing UX and an API that is enabling a notebook extensions ecosystem to grow. One of the best-known notebook platforms is Jupyter Notebooks. A Microsoft team publishes an extension that allows VS Code to handle .ipynb notebook files. These can either work against a local Python environment or connect to a Jupyter Server, which typically hosts remote Python environments with beefier resources. What if your InterSystems IRIS environments, whether local on your workstation or remote in your organization / cloud, could operate as Jupyter Servers? And not only for Embedded Python but also for ObjectScript and SQL "If we build it, will they come?" #Development Environment #Embedded Python #Machine Learning #Tools #InterSystems Ideas Portal #InterSystems IRIS #VSCode Open Exchange app 6 5 2 600

Announcement John Murray · Apr 21, 2023 Upcoming VS Code enhancement improves gj :: codeSpex experience Our gj :: codeSpex extension for VS Code, which is part of the DX Jetpack, allows documentation to be displayed inline while you are coding classes. In some cases the documentation is extensive, and the lack of scrolling support in the VS Code comment element we are using was degrading the DX. #Development Environment #VSCode Open Exchange app 2 0 0 136

Read more at Open Exchange. Right now version 2.0 is like an aircraft at the start of the runway (remember those days before COVID-19?), waiting for the control tower to give final clearance. Will you be an early adopter, downloading the VSIX from GitHub, installing it into your VS Code, and posting back here to confirm that we haven't left anything critical behind at the gate? Then I'll push the throttles forward, publish to Marketplace, and we'll all be on our way. Server Manager 2.0 is my entry for the current contest.

Announcement John Murray · Apr 1, 2019 Serenji debugger and editor now available for Visual Studio Code We at George James Software are pleased to announce that our acclaimed code debugger and editor Serenji is now available as a Visual Studio Code extension. As well as supporting the latest InterSystems IRIS platform Serenji also works with earlier platforms, including versions lacking the server-side Atelier API support required by other VS Code extensions. Serenji connects you directly to the code in your namespaces, resulting in an experience more familiar to existing Studio users. No need to export and import classes and routines. We believe Serenji is the first extension to bring VS Code's powerful debugging features to ObjectScript developers. #Debugging #Development Environment #George James Software #VSCode #Open Exchange Open Exchange app 5 13 3 1.3K
Announcement John Murray · Jan 14, 2019 Seeking field testers for an upcoming VSCode extension from George James Software At the George James Software booth at Global Summit last year we took the wraps off the work we've been doing to make our popular editing and debugging tool Serenji available on the Visual Studio Code platform. Rather than requiring you to pull code from your namespaces into local files, then push the changes back to the namespace to run it, you work directly in the namespace. In other words, the editing experience is like Studio rather than like Atelier. As well as editing code you can also debug it directly from VSCode. #Debugging #Development Environment #George James Software #VSCode #Caché #InterSystems IRIS 3 12 1 786
