After installing Dynamics NAV 2018 I want to configure Visual Studio Code with Dynamics NAV to use new Development tool . I already had Visual Studio Code installed on my computer ( Click to download Visual Studio Code ) so I open up the application. Do not follow Section 01 steps because you will run into issues. Read the Section 02 of the instructions to get it work. Section 01 : First thing I want to do is download AL Extention . In order to download AL extension follow below steps: Go to View Menu and click on Extensions. Search for AL Click Install . Once the Extention installation is complete I followed below steps: Press Alt+A , Alt+L to trigger the Go! command, Choose " Your own server" Once you select the "Your own server" you will see a code like below in the "launch.json" file. I change the settings as below : "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "al", "request": "launch", "name": "Local server", "server": "http://localhost:7049", "serverInstance": "DynamicsNAV110", "tenant": "default", "authentication": "Windows", "startupObjectId": 22 } ] Once I do that I got an error message, and I could not resolve it. ( Could not download symbols. Please see the Visual Studio output log for more details ) Then I thought it is something to do with the Service tier config so I open up the config file and notice that "Enable loading application symbol reference at service startup" is disabled . I enabled it and restart the instance. Even after that also I could not get to download symbols. Therefore I thought to use a different approach. Section 02: I thought to install AL extension manually by using VSIX file. Uninstall AL extention from Visual Studio Code. Click View -> Extention. Click on ... to open the extension menu. Click on Install from VSIX You can find VSIX file on the i nstallation medium path: "ModernDev\program files\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Modern Development Environment" or in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\110\Modern Development Environment" This will install AL Language Version 0.12.15355 Once the Extention installation is complete I follow below steps Press Alt+A , Alt+L to trigger the Go! command. Choose "Your own server" Once you select the " Your own server" you will see a code like below in the "launch.json" file. "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "al", "request": "launch", "name": "Your own server", "server": "http://localhost", "serverInstance": "nav", "authentication": "UserPassword", "startupObjectId": 22 } ] In my local installation, I use Windows Authentication and my NAV instance is different. Therefore I change the file values as below. "version": "0.2.0", "configurations": [ { "type": "al", "request": "launch", "name": "Your own server", "server": "http://localhost", "serverInstance": "DynamicsNAV110", "authentication": "Windows", "startupObjectId": 22 } ] Once I update the values and save the file, it successfully downloads the symbols. Please let me know if you use a different approach or if it workes with online extension installation for you. Please provide your feedback with a comment. Thank you and Regards, Tharanga Chandrasekara
