DEV: Error downloading symbol in VS Code

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Jeze

Hello,

i'm trying to start with my experience in developing for BC with VSCode.

I've followed this document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-get-started-container-sandbox

Now i have my up and running sandbox on my server, i can access it with my username and password.

I also installed AL on my VSCode and generated my first project with AL: GO!

Now, if i try to download symbols i get an error: ' No credential available in security package' (or at least this is the english translation more or less)

I've edited my launch.json with my parameters:

"server": "">http://bctest",

"serverInstance": "BC",

"authentication": "Windows",

Any idea on what i'm missing or what i can check?

If i try UserPassword instead of Windows i get prompted to insert username and password over and over again.

I have the same question (0)

By what I understand, you are using BC Cloud but what your launch.json file contains looks like a config for local/ on-prem.

While you create your Workspace, select "Microsoft Cloud Sandbox".

I tried clearing credential multiple time and, as stated on my OP, i switched between Windows auth and UserPassword auth but nothing seems to work.

as described by the microsoft doc linked in my OP, i downloaded the PowerShell script from cloud instance of Business Central.

Then i used that script to create a container on my local server.

My local Business Central container seems to work fine and i can login in the application without any problem, as you can see in this screenshot:

That's the sandbox i'm trying to connect to.

From what you can deduce that i'm using BC cloud?

Edit: I also tried the the procedure in your blog:

my output is the following:

1. The correct server name and instance are specified in the launch.json file.

2. The correct application version is specified in the app.json file.

3. The dependencies are correctly specified in the app.json file.

I have a suspect: it can be a license problem??

Ok, after trying with a different account for Business Central i was able to download the symbols and to authenticate.

Still i can't use my local container but at this point i guess i will use the cloud sandbox.

Thanks everyone for the help.
