MVVS: MV Basic for Visual Studio

Hi, I have installed MV Basic for Visual Studio Code. It's really cool. I could open a basic programs folder, but could not connect to the database, so I can't compile, or have the additional features I saw it provides when connected.

  I have followed the documentation of this Forum, downloaded the JDK 11 from the indicated link, placed its path in the MV Basic Extension configuration, and created the following .rmv/db.mvbasic.json file:

{
"db": {
"host": "192.168.2.100",
"userName": "root",
"password": "123456",
"account": "ALEDB",
"dataSource": "UNIVERSE",
"port": 31438
},
"includes": [
{
"includeFile": "BP",
"account": "ALEDB",
"fileName": "BP"
}
]
}

  First of all, whenever I open a Universe Basic, the following message appears in VS Code:

Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. Please check your Java environment and settings

  Second, when doing F1 -> Connect to MV Server, another messages tells me "Connect to U2 server failed"

  Any ideas?

  Regards,

Advances and some more info:

  - I am trying to work from my Windows PC connecting to a Universe Linux server, so I am using VS Code in my PC, and opening an SSH folder to edit Basic programs. Can this be done?

  - I installed Java 11 on the Linux server and now I could activate MV Basic Extension. It now shows references and goes to labels through Ctrl + Click.

  - I still cant' connect to the Universe database. When the extension activated, it created all the .rmv/config files, and tried several different configurations for the the db.mvbasic.json file, but with no luck. Any ideas?

In the first communication it looks like you are trying to connect to your remote server. You can't do that yet as it's local server code access only. You could however install a local trial version of UniVerse for Windows to play with or you could use VS Code for Linux. I am unsure if this is the only reason why you are getting the "Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. ".  

Currently it's not supported to use ssh but I can get ssh to work ok too. Perhaps an alternative is what Manu Fernandez is doing under the forum title of "Rocket-mvbasic and Sftp extension". The connection configuration in db.mvbasic.json is for is currently for a local connection only. You may find you can get away with just having the data source set correctly.

Developers are currently working on how to either remote connect or sync.

Hi Christian!

  Thanks for your reply. Oh, I see, so MVVS is actually works with local Universe copies only. The problem is that our development environments are Windows, but production are Linux, so, I think I will keep using VS Code to code through SSH against our development / production servers.

  Regards!

Hi Manu, 

  Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I was reading your post, but what I see is that something similar to what we already have running. We can actually open Basic programs using an SSH folder from VS Code, and activate the MV Basic Extension. So, formatting is working, warnings, and jumps to internal basic subroutines. In the solution your are proposing, I can't see that connection to the DB could be done, also, as it would not be a local connection. Did you get that working?

  What we can't get working is the following:

  1. Identification (Definition) of equates. This is, that VS Code can determine that an equate is correct, the way it does in Basic Developer Kit, for example. Today, the extension is not recognizing the declared equates.

  2. Function and Subroutine definitions. This is, that VS Code could show us the parameters of a subroutine or function compiled and catalogued in the same basic file (for example, BP)
  
  3. Basic compilation and catalogue. This would be the last thing to achieve, we would be great with the two indicated above.

  Regards,
  Enrique

Hi Enrique, 

Thanks for your feedback!

For your questions:
1. Did you include EQU related files into BASIC program through $INCLUDE statement? And if included files and BASIC programs are not in the same folder, you may need configure the db.mvbasic.json file. You can refer Goto Definition and Include Settings to configure include related settings.


2. Currently, the parameters in SUBROUINE could not displayed automatically, but you can configure its parameters list in .rmv/​documentation/universe/custom.json. Please refer this link.

3. Compiled and cataloged a BASIC program are not supported yet, we are working on this.

Hope this can help you!

Thanks!

Hi Yunpu!

  Thanks for your reply.

  About point 1, yes, I am using $INCLUDE BP <Name of Equate>, so, it's the same table (BP) as the basic subroutines. But, are you saying that the Goto Definition would allow me to access the definition that is in another server, not the local PC, without doing the db connection?

  Point 2 I wasn't aware. Will test it

  Point 3 OK.

Hi, I have installed MV Basic for Visual Studio Code. It's really cool. I could open a basic programs folder, but could not connect to the database, so I can't compile, or have the additional features I saw it provides when connected.

  I have followed the documentation of this Forum, downloaded the JDK 11 from the indicated link, placed its path in the MV Basic Extension configuration, and created the following .rmv/db.mvbasic.json file:

"db": {
"host": "192.168.2.100",

},
"includes": [
{
"includeFile": "BP",
"account": "ALEDB",
"fileName": "BP"
}

}

  First of all, whenever I open a Universe Basic, the following message appears in VS Code:

Hi Enrique, 

For point 1, no, currently we only support to INCLUDE files on local machine. If related files on another machine (eg. U2 server), you need pull the code to local machine, and update the db.mvbasic.json file.
Sorry to make you confused.

Thanks

  What we can't get working is the following:

  1. Identification (Definition) of equates. This is, that VS Code can determine that an equate is correct, the way it does in Basic Developer Kit, for example. Today, the extension is not recognizing the declared equates.

  2. Function and Subroutine definitions. This is, that VS Code could show us the parameters of a subroutine or function compiled and catalogued in the same basic file (for example, BP)
  
  3. Basic compilation and catalogue. This would be the last thing to achieve, we would be great with the two indicated above.

In the first communication it looks like you are trying to connect to your remote server. You can't do that yet as it's local server code access only. You could however install a local trial version of UniVerse for Windows to play with or you could use VS Code for Linux. I am unsure if this is the only reason why you are getting the "Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. ".  

Currently it's not supported to use ssh but I can get ssh to work ok too. Perhaps an alternative is what Manu Fernandez is doing under the forum title of "Rocket-mvbasic and Sftp extension". The connection configuration in db.mvbasic.json is for is currently for a local connection only. You may find you can get away with just having the data source set correctly.

Hi, I have installed MV Basic for Visual Studio Code. It's really cool. I could open a basic programs folder, but could not connect to the database, so I can't compile, or have the additional features I saw it provides when connected.

  I have followed the documentation of this Forum, downloaded the JDK 11 from the indicated link, placed its path in the MV Basic Extension configuration, and created the following .rmv/db.mvbasic.json file:

{
"db": {
"host": "192.168.2.100",
"userName": "root",
"password": "123456",
"account": "ALEDB",
"dataSource": "UNIVERSE",
"port": 31438
},
"includes": [
{
"includeFile": "BP",
"account": "ALEDB",
"fileName": "BP"
}
]
}

  First of all, whenever I open a Universe Basic, the following message appears in VS Code:

Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. Please check your Java environment and settings

  Second, when doing F1 -> Connect to MV Server, another messages tells me "Connect to U2 server failed"

  Any ideas?

Hi Yunpu, I cannot get the INCLUDE to be recognized.   According to the instructions, to define the INCLUDE files you must define the account.  When I attempt to define the account "path" using a standard Windows path, Visual Studio Code thinks I am escaping the characters and removes the backslashes.  (ie: "c:\User\bob\Documents").  How do I point to a directory on my local pc?

Secondly, when you refer to an account, can I point to a directory on my local PC or doe the software expect the Universe software to be installed locally?

Hi Yunpu!

  Thanks for your reply.

  About point 1, yes, I am using $INCLUDE BP <Name of Equate>, so, it's the same table (BP) as the basic subroutines. But, are you saying that the Goto Definition would allow me to access the definition that is in another server, not the local PC, without doing the db connection?

  Point 2 I wasn't aware. Will test it

Hi Enrique, 

Thanks for your feedback!

For your questions:
1. Did you include EQU related files into BASIC program through $INCLUDE statement? And if included files and BASIC programs are not in the same folder, you may need configure the db.mvbasic.json file. You can refer Goto Definition and Include Settings to configure include related settings.

2. Currently, the parameters in SUBROUINE could not displayed automatically, but you can configure its parameters list in .rmv/​documentation/universe/custom.json. Please refer this link.

3. Compiled and cataloged a BASIC program are not supported yet, we are working on this.

Hope this can help you!

Hi Christian, thank you for your response.  I was able to add the path using the double slash.  However, the INCLUDEs are still not recognized.

I configured the db.mvbasic.json in the following manner:

  "includeMapping": [

  "accounts": [

Both the directory with the programs and the INCLUDE directory are under the same directory "c:\Users\steve\Documents"

Any ideas?

Hi Yunpu!

  Thanks for your reply.

  About point 1, yes, I am using $INCLUDE BP <Name of Equate>, so, it's the same table (BP) as the basic subroutines. But, are you saying that the Goto Definition would allow me to access the definition that is in another server, not the local PC, without doing the db connection?

  Point 2 I wasn't aware. Will test it

  Point 3 OK.

  Regards,
  Enrique

Hi Enrique, 

Thanks for your feedback!

For your questions:
1. Did you include EQU related files into BASIC program through $INCLUDE statement? And if included files and BASIC programs are not in the same folder, you may need configure the db.mvbasic.json file. You can refer Goto Definition and Include Settings to configure include related settings.

2. Currently, the parameters in SUBROUINE could not displayed automatically, but you can configure its parameters list in .rmv/​documentation/universe/custom.json. Please refer this link.

3. Compiled and cataloged a BASIC program are not supported yet, we are working on this.

Hope this can help you!

Thanks!

Hi Manu, 

  Thanks for the reply and suggestion. I was reading your post, but what I see is that something similar to what we already have running. We can actually open Basic programs using an SSH folder from VS Code, and activate the MV Basic Extension. So, formatting is working, warnings, and jumps to internal basic subroutines. In the solution your are proposing, I can't see that connection to the DB could be done, also, as it would not be a local connection. Did you get that working?

  What we can't get working is the following:

  1. Identification (Definition) of equates. This is, that VS Code can determine that an equate is correct, the way it does in Basic Developer Kit, for example. Today, the extension is not recognizing the declared equates.

  2. Function and Subroutine definitions. This is, that VS Code could show us the parameters of a subroutine or function compiled and catalogued in the same basic file (for example, BP)
  
  3. Basic compilation and catalogue. This would be the last thing to achieve, we would be great with the two indicated above.

  Regards,
  Enrique

Hi

We work like you win/lin as prod and dev is lin.
So I'll share my experience to sync our code locally with extension. Please take a look to these post MVVS: MV Basic for Visual Studio

Rocketsoftware		remove preview
MVVS: MV Basic for Visual Studio I'll share our experience to edit the BASIC code locally with vscode/rocket-mvbasic.Simply, we combine the rocket-mvbasic with sftp extension sftp sync extension for VS Code - setup a ssh service on your db-server c.f. View this on Rocketsoftware >

Hi Christian!

  Thanks for your reply. Oh, I see, so MVVS is actually works with local Universe copies only. The problem is that our development environments are Windows, but production are Linux, so, I think I will keep using VS Code to code through SSH against our development / production servers.

  Regards!

In the first communication it looks like you are trying to connect to your remote server. You can't do that yet as it's local server code access only. You could however install a local trial version of UniVerse for Windows to play with or you could use VS Code for Linux. I am unsure if this is the only reason why you are getting the "Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. ".  

Currently it's not supported to use ssh but I can get ssh to work ok too. Perhaps an alternative is what Manu Fernandez is doing under the forum title of "Rocket-mvbasic and Sftp extension". The connection configuration in db.mvbasic.json is for is currently for a local connection only. You may find you can get away with just having the data source set correctly.

Developers are currently working on how to either remote connect or sync.

Hi, I have installed MV Basic for Visual Studio Code. It's really cool. I could open a basic programs folder, but could not connect to the database, so I can't compile, or have the additional features I saw it provides when connected.

  I have followed the documentation of this Forum, downloaded the JDK 11 from the indicated link, placed its path in the MV Basic Extension configuration, and created the following .rmv/db.mvbasic.json file:

{
"db": {
"host": "192.168.2.100",
"userName": "root",
"password": "123456",
"account": "ALEDB",
"dataSource": "UNIVERSE",
"port": 31438
},
"includes": [
{
"includeFile": "BP",
"account": "ALEDB",
"fileName": "BP"
}
]
}

  First of all, whenever I open a Universe Basic, the following message appears in VS Code:

Java 11 or Open JDK runtime environment is abnormal. Please check your Java environment and settings

  Second, when doing F1 -> Connect to MV Server, another messages tells me "Connect to U2 server failed"

  Any ideas?

  Regards,
