Unable to setup a local-hosted container sandbox

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Danyal 259

I am trying to setup BC Sandbox and following below link

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-get-started-container-sandbox#set-up-a-local-hosted-container-sandbox

After the process completes, I am getting below information as mentioned in the link

Container IP Address, Container Hostname, Container Dns Name, Web Client, Dev. Server, Dev. ServerInstance & Files: http://MyBCApp*****

But I am getting a warning and an error as well

Warning: 

You are running a container which is 105 days old.
Microsoft recommends that you always run the latest version of our containers.

Error: 

Your program license does not allow you to publish 'User Login Test Library'.

Moreover, in the link it says that 4 desktop shortcuts will be created but I got only 3. Windows Client is missing.

After that I installed .vsix file in VS code and update .json file accordingly. When I create and run AL project I am getting below errors

    Hi Danyal,

    I want to know more information.

    First, for this error:

    Your program license does not allow you to publish 'User Login Test Library'.

    Did you fill out License File Url?

    Like https://github.com/microsoft/nav-docker/issues/458 .

    Second, what is in /.alpackages?

    Best regards,

    Yuhi

    Hi Danyal,

    Please try to download symbols on Visual Studio Code:

    Ctrl Shift p -> AL: Download Symbols

    Then, ./alpackages is gonna be created in your working folder like...

    After that, you could probably publish without debugging (Ctrl F5) and your Business Central hosted on local would be opened in your web browser.

    For your information:

    {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "al",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Your own server",
            "server": "http://myApp",
            "serverInstance": "BC",
            "authentication": "Windows",
            "startupObjectId": 22,
            "startupObjectType": "Page",
            "breakOnError": true,
            "launchBrowser": true,
            "enableLongRunningSqlStatements": true,
            "enableSqlInformationDebugger": true
        }
    ]
}

    I hope this will be helpful to you.

    Best regards,

    Yuhi
