With the name change from SQL Operations Studio (sqlops) to Azure Data Studio (azuredatastudio), you might need to adjust the file .vscode/launch.json on older projects.
There are two instances of "runtimeExecutable": "sqlops" that should be changed to "runtimeExecutable": "azuredatastudio".
Bonus points: Double click on the first instance of sqlops in the file to highlight it. Press ctrl+D on your keyboard, which duplicates your cursor to the next instance of sqlops in the file. Hit backspace (which deletes both simultaneously) and type in azuredatastudio (as both cursors fill in).
The Debug menu can be used to launch your extension into a special instance of Azure Data Studio with or without the VS Code debugger attached.
The template extension demonstrates two concepts - extension activation and extension commands. On extension activation, a message is logged to the extension console. On execution of the "Hello World" command, an information message is presented to the user.
Open the Debug menu and select Start Debugging. A new Azure Data Studio window should open and VS Code should enter debugging mode.
In Azure Data Studio, open the command pallette (ctrl + shift + p) and type in Hello World.
When you hit enter, an information message will appear in the lower right corner.
We have a functioning, albeit not very useful, Azure Data Studio extension
- Open an Azure Data Studio window prior to starting debugging
- Ensure that Azure Data Studio is in your PATH
