Business value

One of the feedback items on the Open in Visual Studio Code has been the request to quickly generate a launch configuration matching the specific environment. In this release we have added actions in the web client that do exactly that, making it easier to 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, making it easier to investigate or debug a specific environment from Visual Studio Code.

There are two options in the Business Central web client to generate the launch.json configuration.

You can use the Generate launch configurations for this environment action in the Troubleshooting section of the Help & Support page.

In addition, you can use the Generate launch configurations action in the Develop in VS Code action group on the Extension Management page menu.
