Issue regarding downloading symbols and authentication

Posted on by lucdewit

I'm Trying to upgrade a sandbox environment from BC21 to BC 22, So I started off by deleting the .alpackages folder, changing the platform and application from 21.0.0.0 to 22.0.0.0 in the app.json, and doing the 'download symbols' action

It then printed the following output:

```

[2023-03-06 09:35:24.14] Using reference symbols cache path: c:\Users\MyName\OneDrive - MyWorkPlace\Desktop\bctest\ProjectName\.alpackages

[2023-03-06 09:35:24.40] Authenticating...

```

The issue is that it gets stuck on authenticating for 5-10 minutes, then gives me a prompt for a username and password, but when i filI that in, it goes back and gets stuck on Authenticating again, only to repeat the whole thing.

I also tried clearing credential cache with no success.

Even when I try to revert back to BC21, it doesn't seem to have any influence, so now i cant develop *anything* anymore, hence why this is a pretty **urgent** issue for me.

What am I doing wrong? My AL extension version is v10.5.760365

RE: Issue regarding downloading symbols and authentication

Hi, what do you mean by "trying to update the environment", the sandbox from v21 to v22, or are you updating apps on a v22 sandbox ?

RE: Issue regarding downloading symbols and authentication

Hi, thanks for your response, i was trying to update the BC sandbox environment from v21 to the newly released v22 preview. The environment has successfully been upgraded, but the issue is that I cant download symbols anymore in VSCode

even when I set everything back to v21, I cant download any symbols anymore since it gets stuck at the 'Authenticating...' step

RE: Issue regarding downloading symbols and authentication

I suggest login with a private window to the sandbox, to check if the environment is working properly. (Also check the user setting, permissions and if they are set to company specific).

Also retrieve the vsix file from version 22 to install in vscode.

After doing so, create a new AL project and in the app.json file set

platform 1.0.0.0

application 1.0.0.0

if it helped you, please select this answer, thank you

Where am i supposed to get the vsix file? i cant find it anywhere, also, why does the platform be 1.0.0.0? shouldn't it need to be 22.0.0.0?

Hi,

Please share the error message that you are getting in output window of VS Code.

Also you should update AL Language extension to v 11. As it has new data types that came with BC 22

Hi, Im not getting any error message, it just gets stuck in a loop and hangs on 'Authenticating...' preventing me from downloading symbols

I have installed using vsix file.

As suggested by gian cr please check if you are able to open v22 using webclient?

RE: Issue regarding downloading symbols and authentication

Yes, i managed to upgrade the environment just fine, and when navigating to the environment in a browser, by manually going to `businesscentral.dynamics.com/.../development` it worked fine

the issue is that I cant upload any extension, because I'm missing that vsix file, how do I download it?
