Nav 2017 development with VS Code AL

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 222

I seem to be banging my head against the wall here and beginning to think this is not possible so I thought I would ask. I want to use VS Code to develop extensions in Nav 2017. I have a Nav 2017 installation on a server and I have VS Code installed on my PC. I have previously written an extension and worked with a local copy of Tenerife so I know basically what is required. 

My issue is that using the remote Nav 2017 I am unable to download symbols from the remote server no matter what I try. I have searched the internet and did not find any pointer for this so beginning to wonder if this is possible. When I try to download the symbols from the remote server I get a Microsoft Office login pop up. The remote server is on-premise. My launch.json has the details of the remote on-premise server and the port, service tier specified. Anyone have some help on this?

            "packageFileName": "${command:resolvePackageFileName}",
            "name": "2017Demo",

            "serverInstance": "pdweb",
            "tenant": "default",
            "windowsAuthentication": false,
            "startupObjectId": 22,
            "port": 9049

    Hi,

    In the launching page, at the end you'll get server information which you'll need to update in the launch.json file, afterwhich VS code will prompt you for credentials, enter admin as username and password which you have set up. This will solve you issue. This is for NAV Development Preview

    But I doubt whether VS code works with NAV2017

    Thanks for the reply. What is the launch screen and how is it accessed?
