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…
You might have seen one of the presentations where Microsoft showed their idea of future NAV-based applications: It can be either a Connect App (just connects through a REST WebService API to D365/NAV), an Add-On App (adds functionality to D365/NAV through an extension) or an Embed App (deeply changes how D365/NAV works by embedding code,…

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…

If you are a NAV developer working with Docker containers and the new dev environment aka VS Code (or for that matter anyone using Docker containers and VS Code), then you should very much look into the Docker extension for VS Code. It lets you see the registries you are using, the containers running on…

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…

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…

One of the very few things I really like in C/SIDE and kind of miss in the new NAV Dev Env is the ability to just run an object with Alt+R. In the new NAV Dev Env a.k.a. VS Code this isn’t possible but instead you can enter one object (page or pageextension) in the…

On Friday a new update of the new development environment for NAV arrived. A number of new features are described here and the in-client designer improvements are really nice but what most caught my attention was the first release of a tool to convert traditional C/AL code to the new AL code. Let’s see what it can…

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…
