In the launch.json file you need to set the parameter of the environment where you want to deploy your extension. As an example (server hosted by your own):

{

            "type": "al",

            "request": "launch",

            "name": "D365BCDEVVM",

            "server": "YOURSERVERNAME",

            "serverInstance": "BC",

            "authentication": "UserPassword",

            "startupObjectId": 22,

            "startupObjectType": "Page",

            "breakOnError": true,

            "launchBrowser": true,

            "enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,

            "enableSqlInformationDebugger": true,

        }

For the online sandbox environment, you don't need server and serverinstance, they're automatically retrieved from your Azure AAD acount.

The launch.json file is the following:

{

"version": "0.2.0",

"configurations": [

{

"type": "al",

"request": "launch",

"name": "Microsoft cloud sandbox",

"startupObjectId": 22,

"startupObjectType": "Page",

"breakOnError": true,

"launchBrowser": true,

"enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,

"enableSqlInformationDebugger": true

}

]

}

About the Azure AAD account can you please tell me more about it? Do we have to give some information about Azure AAD account in VS code app.? Maybe thats the catch, cuz i have written the same exact code on the launch.jason file but still its opening the wrong sandbox. Please help Stefano!

With the above launch.json file, it opens the default sandbox environment (called Sandox). If you want to connect to a different sandbox, you can specify the sandboxName parameter:

"sandboxName": "YOURSANDBOX"

"request": "launch",

//"name": "Microsoft cloud sandbox", "sandboxName": "YOURSANDBOX",

"startupObjectId": 22,

"startupObjectType": "Page",

"breakOnError": true,

Name is the name of your environment (give a name that you want, it's used to identify the environment inside VS Code). sandboxName is the name of your sandbox. Yes, it's a string, not an url. It's the name you've assigned to your secondary sandbox when you've created it.

The extension should be deployed to the sandbox called “DevTraining”. Switch the environment to the new sandbox and on Extension Management page you should see the deployed extension.
