Al: Option to disable browser when debugging.

[graknol]

Hi, I usually develop using the RTC client, since it's faster. But, each time i publish the extension from VS Code by hitting F5 (or ctrl+F5) the browser always opens. Like I get it if you're developing for BC365, but we are still primarily targeting NAV2018 while future proofing for BC365.

So, could we please have a launch option like: "openInBrowser": true|false

Thank you.

Maybe you can use "CRS AL Language Extension".
This will add a new Command: "CRS: Run Object (Windows Client)"

You can find more Infos about this Extension in the blog of @waldo1001 http://www.waldo.be/2018/04/18/crs-al-language-extension/

@ChrisBlankDe Thank you for sharing this extension, yes it allows me to run an object that I specify, but it doesn't support building/publishing the extension without opening the browser 😢

We received this request from multiple sources and it is something we would like to implement in the near future.

Just blank the Web Client Base URL in your Navision Service (Under Client Services) and publish using F6; that's what I'm doing :)

PS: You might want to rebind F7 since that button pulls the code from your Navision. I did it the first time I accidentally pressed it and lost a lot of code.

Awesome, it works thank you!

But does F7 overwrite your AL files too??

F7 Overwrites your AL files with the version deployed on the server so you should rebind that function to Shift-F7 or something :)

Oh, thank you, lifesaver :-)

This has been implemented in the latest insider images and in the upcoming November preview release.
