IBM i Project Explorer

GitHub star this repo 🌟

The IBM i Project Explorer supports developing IBM i applications using buildable local projects in Visual Studio Code. Leverage the Project Explorer viewer to manage a project's library list, variables, object libraries, include paths, and much more. Utilize the Job Log viewer as well to easily visualize the contents of your job logs after having run a build or compile.

Running the Extension

Install VS Code and Node.js
Clone this repository
npm install
Run Extension from VS Code

To release the extension

Update CHANGELOG.md with the improvements
Update the version number in package.json and types/package.json
Create a new release with a tag with the corresponding version number A github action will automatically be triggered which will build and pubish the vsix to both OpenVSX and Micrsoft registries. Also the types will be published to npmjs so that the API is available to any JavaScript code.

vscode-ibmi-projectexplorer's Issues

Support active project

Expose ProjectManager API through export

shortcut to iproj.json from project just like in Merlin

In Merlin on the project tree item in the project explorer there was an action to navigate to the iproj.json which made it discoverable and convenient
Could we bring that to the project explorer?

Support iASP

Port iproj.json and ibmi.json schemas

Project Explorer: Library list

enhancement: drag drop to reorder include paths

Enhancement: set curlib/objlib

The scenario I am trying to enable is to build the iproj.json without typing.

Go to QSYS browser and select s library as set as curlib or objlib or pre/post usrlibl
-> has the effect of updating the iproj.json with hardcoded value
2( Go to Project Explorer and Configure as Variable (this part is already done)

This would probably make more sense of the QSYS Browser allowed filters allowed multiple libraries
In the mean time, you could do it on a Library filter

You have already done a great job of this with the include path and directories

Variable name should be shown in description of library/includepath

Using `Add to Include Paths` on deploy directory adds empty string

Create docsify site and port existing `iproj.json` and `.ibmi.json` docs

Add APIs to add special TreeItems to the project

Make strings translatable

Improve validation of `iproj.json` contents

Make includePath tree items expandable to view directory contents

If no .env file then clicking on 'Variables' will create one

Error adding Library to LibraryList

For certain special characters(§, "", #), there are errors in retrieving libraries

Migrate tool

    const basePage = new CustomUI()
      .addParagraph(`This tool can be used to migrate source code`)
      .addInput(`srcLib`, `Source library`)
      .addInput(`defaultCCSID`, `Default CCSID`, `If the source file is 65535, this will be used instead`, {default: `*JOB`});
    
    const sourceFiles = [`QRPGLESRC`, `QRPGLEREF`, `QDDSSRC`, `QSQLSRC`];

    sourceFiles.forEach(srcPf => {
      basePage.addCheckbox(srcPf, srcPf, `Tick to migrate ${srcPf}`);
    });

    const page = await basePage.loadPage<any>(`Migrate tool`);

    if (page && page.data) {
      const data = page.data;
      page.panel.dispose();
    }

`Configure as Variable` does not work for `curlib` and `objlib`

Support `setIBMiEnvCmd` on connect

Add `setObjectLibrary` and `setTargetCCSID` actions

Add setObjectLibrary and setTargetCCSID actions on directories in the file explorer to allow setting the objlib and tgtccsid at the directory level (.ibmi.json).

For setObjectLibrary, show existing variables to select from and option to add new variable + value

Create types for exported APIs

Create a walkthrough to set up an i project

From scratch

add workspace folder
create iproj.json (via clicking on project tree item)
connect to IBM i (right click action to do Merlin/Code for IBM i connection creation/selection)
create .env ( click on Variables entry)
assign library to a variable (need new action)
tweak/reorder library list
set deploy location

from QSYS library

do import using ...
