If you are like us at Axians Infoma and can’t make the transition of your on-premises solution from C/AL to AL with a single snap of your fingers, you may want to use hybrid deployments as a first step. This means shipping your standard C/AL solution and publishing dependent extensions on top of that to…

Have you ever tried to export the errors and warnings from VS Code? It turns out that - if I didn't miss anything - it is not possible, but actually quite easy to implement. The TL;DR Install my extension in VS Code and run "ALRunner: Export diagnostics". This will create a file called "diagnostics.csv" which…

One of the requirements of publishing a Business Central app (extension V2) into AppSource is an automated test package. That obviously makes a lot of sense but how to get there is not an entirely clear path. Microsoft shares their example code and some guidelines here but creating the test code is only half of…

Visual Studio Code is one of the hottest code editors / IDEs on the market and if you've been following this blog, you know that I am one of the biggest fans. A new feature that really makes it stand out from the crowd (together with "traditional" Visual Studio, where this also works) is VS…

A couple of features and concepts in Business Central and AL are clearly inspired by Microsoft now being a hoster and providing a SaaS solution. That in itself makes more then sense and as I have written a couple of times now, from my point of view all decisions made and directions taken are quite…

As interacting with WebServices, especially JSON/REST based WebServices, becomes more and more important, it was very good to see that the new NAV dev environment made it quite easy to do exactly that a couple of releases ago. After reading AJ Kauffmann's excellent blog post on that topic, I had the idea to auto-generate that…

When Freddy Kristiansen, Jakub Vanak and I talked about NAV on Docker at NAV TechDays, the first two questions from the audience were "can I connect NAV on Docker to an existing SQL database?" But in a short answer we could only say "yes, absolutely" but not really explain it. (mehr …)

Part of the appeal of Docker as part of a CI/CD pipeline is the idea that you have identical dev, test, qa and prod images or at least as close as possible to identical. However there are drawbacks to that approach as building software often requires more libraries and tools than running it (often called…

Shipping software products has come a long way from "once every couple of years" to "your users might get a new feature in the next 5 minutes in your Cloud offering". And even if your market and your customers are not calling for such quick changes, as Marko Perisic very well explains here, being always…

I usually write about specific technical problems and their solution but this will be a more general post. I was at Directions NA this year and saw the excitement - though not in a positive way - that the opening keynote generated. To be completely honest I wasn't listening too closely as because of sheer…

When you get used to it, working with the CLI for Docker / Windows Containers is quite easy but having a GUI is more convenient, especially for newcomers. A very good GUI for Docker / Windows Containers is Portainer, which is free and you can get services and support from the company behind it. I…

The new NAV Dev Environment was made publicly available only a couple of days ago but already the “usual suspects” are blogging about what can be done with it developing for NAV. Something that I immediately wanted to try however was something not directly connected with NAV but more with Visual Studio Code: the integration…
