AL Coding against a local NAV install

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi, We are attempting to build extensions in AL for a local install of NAV 2018.

As a starting point we have used the designer in the web client to create a simple extension and then open this in VS code to amend and extend it.

VS does not seem to recognise the object names and so will not republish the extension.

Object names are underlined in red and display the message.."[AL] The target Page "Customer Card" for the extension object is not found".

We can successfully invoke the symbol download and see... "[2018-01-22 21:32:16.77] All reference symbols have been downloaded." in the output window to confirm this.

Can anybody please advise what we are missing.

    Hello Chris,

    after symbols downloading object names red underlining should disappear. Press F5 to publish your package with debugging or Ctrl+F5 to publish without it. Browser tab with NAV will open or new errors occurs.

    Also there is one good article about how to connect vscode to NAV 2018 :
