You can also set this at a workspace or user level by going into Settings -> Extensions -> InterSystems ObjectScript and updating the "ObjectScript Compile Flags" setting:

You don't need to change the "%" to a "_" in this instance as the cls method is being passed a string literal. This works fine:

print(iris.cls('%SYSTEM.OBJ').Version())
InterSystems IRIS Version 2022.1.0.209

There's a method on the iris.gref class called "data".

set ^zJES(1)="$data = 1"
set ^zJES(2,0)="$data = 10"
set ^zJES(4) = ""
set ^zJES(4,0) = ""

The result ends up matching $data:

>>> glb = iris.gref("^zJES") 
>>> print(glb.data())
10
>>> print(glb.data([1])) 
1
>>> print(glb.data([2]))
10
>>> print(glb.data([3]))
0
>>> print(glb.data([4]))
11

I found running help(iris) at the Python shell helpful for working this kind of stuff out.

Edit: Unlike @Robert Cemper's solution this does not return the value of the node we're testing (like the 2 parameter usage $data)

One option is $select:

    set a=$select(a>b:1,1:0)

You could could also put the if..else on a single line:

    if (a<b) { set a=1 } else { set a=0 }

This would also achieve the same result, but is a bit more limited:

    set a=(a>b)

I've found that going to Help -> Toggle Developer Tools can be a useful way to identify connection issues with HTTPS. VSCode is built on Chromium, so you have access to the same debug console.

You can also try overriding the GUIDENABLED parameter from %Persistent:

Class User.Test1 Extends %Persistent

{

Parameter GUIDENABLED = 1;

Property Property1 as %String;

Storage Default

{

<Data name="Test1DefaultData">

<Value name="1">

<Value>%%CLASSNAME</Value>

</Value>

<Value name="2">

<Value>Property1</Value>

</Value>

</Data>

<DataLocation>^User.Test1D</DataLocation>

<DefaultData>Test1DefaultData</DefaultData>

<IdLocation>^User.Test1D</IdLocation>

<IndexLocation>^User.Test1I</IndexLocation>

<StreamLocation>^User.Test1S</StreamLocation>

<Type>%Library.CacheStorage</Type>

}


}

Will give you:

USER>set obj = ##class(Test1).%New()

USER>set obj.Property1 = "Hello"

USER>w obj.%Save()

1

USER>w obj."%%GUID"

FC381F94-277E-11E8-82F0-005056B479AA

The ^OBJ.GUID index that this creates can be accessed via %ExtentMgr.GUID.
