Business value

One request for the Open in Visual Studio Code feature was the ability to quickly generate a launch configuration that matches the specific environment. In this release, we added actions in the web client that add this capability. With these actions, you can more easily create a launch configuration to investigate or debug a specific environment in Visual Studio Code.

Feature details

Now, directly within the web client, you can generate a matching launch.json configuration for the specific environment. With this configuration, you can more easily investigate or debug a specific environment from Visual Studio Code.

The Business Central web client offers two options to generate the launch.json configuration.

  • Use the Generate launch configurations for this environment action in the Troubleshooting section of the Help & Support page.

  • Use the Generate launch configurations action in the Develop in VS Code action group on the Extension Management page menu.
