Is it possible to do AL Programming using Linux?
I am able to install the extension on Visual Studio Code on Linux. AL Go! creates the project, but it doesn't create launch.json. If I copy the files from Windows, and try to run it gives the error "Couldn't find a debug adapter descriptor for debug type 'al' (extension might have failed to activate)".
I am not able to find a clear statement anywhere on whether the extension is supposed to work on Linux. Any thoughts.
Hey there, I'm new to this forum. Just came across your post and wanted to share my 2 cents. I know it's an old one, but I thought I'd chime in. From my experience, AL programming on Linux is definitely possible. I've been able to install the extension on Visual Studio Code on my CentOS machine and create projects using AL Go! However, I did run into the same issue with launch.json not being created. After some digging, I found out that the issue could be related to the version of Visual Studio Code you're using. Make sure you have the latest version installed and try creating the project again. As for the error message you're getting, it could be related to a missing debug adapter. Try installing the "ms-vscode.cpptools" extension and see if that resolves the issue. Lastly, I wanted to mention that CentOS End of Life Extended Lifecycle Support is available for those who need it. So if you're still using CentOS, you can rest assured that you'll still receive security updates and bug fixes. Hope this helps!
This is not supported.
We do only support deployment on Windows - that is the warmly suggested development environment that allows for better SCM integrations - and iOS. This last is partially supported with some caveats.
