Hi All

I've created a small extension by adding a field to the Item Table for which I've created the table extension and page extension.

Can someone tell me the further steps to compile and run the extension.

I've checked the tutorial, according to it Ctl+shift+B builds the file and creates app.json and F5 cretes the launch.json file.

I've followed these commands , I get a message Package is creates and suces on the package is published but I don't seem to find these files app.json and launch.json in my folder.

Can you help me with this also the .navx file cannot be found

If package is built and published it must have created those files, have you checked the folder using explorer instead of VS ? if not try search for the files and see if you can find them.

packagecachepath is

The path to the folder where referenced symbol package files are located. The path could either be absolute or relative to the current extension working directory, for example: "../../resources"

if you are using preview server then check folder

C:\DEMO\New Developer Experience\Resources for files
