BC: Cannot Download Symbols

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Member

Hello:

In Visual Studio Code, I cannot download symbols. It asked me to see the output log for more details. I don't know where this is. And, the online articles on this error are useless.

How do I get past this error, so that I may download symbols?

I think that it mentions not having permissions to indirect read. I I don't know how to fix this because I am a beginner.

This is Business Central.

Thanks!

John

Hello John,

You can find the output window in VSCode on the lower section. Find the attached screenshot. Can you look there and tell me what it shows? Thanks,

Are you using SaaS or On-Premise BC?

If you are on SaaS, check if your username and password are correct.

Hi Jose:

Thank you, for responding.

Well, today, it is telling me that I cannot download symbols because I cannot connect to the server. Yesterday, it was telling me that it is because I don't have "IndirectRead" permissions.

I'm simply trying to connect and test programming in the sample company Cronus. This should be a sandbox. Otherwise, I know nothing about logging into Dynamics 365 BC at my company. I have no clue.

Anyway, below are the errors that I'm receiving, today:

Hello again John,

If you are unsure as to what to do you might want to check the following link. It's a rather long video but a good one if you have the time. I advise you check it out.

As per the output log, it seems an On-Prem Configuration.

Can you share you launch file.

Hi Jose:

That's a great video! Thanks!

I still receive the error. It must have to do with authenticating, but I have entered my work credentials as best as I know how. Is there anything else that I can do, based on what I sent earlier?

Are you using docker or local installed NAV? if so, how are you accessing the client, using Windows authentication or userpassword? When you prompt for download symbols it should have prompted username and then password. if you don't see it, try to clear the cache by using

F1 and AL: Clear Credential Cache and then try again downloading symbols.

Based on your server instance looks like it is not a container.

Hi Suresh:

I had tried clearing cache and logging in. But, I still get the error.

It's not locally installed.

Hello John,

Can you try the "authentication" from UserPassword to "Windows" and try again please?
