Hi all,

maybe someone have an idea what can be reason for the error receiving when try to connect BC15 (Sandbox on local Docker).

"...

I've tried to update AL extension (there is nothing found to update) and I can't find 4.2 version, only 4.0 is allowed for me to select in "app.json".

Thanks!

The container should have a compatible version of the AL extension as a download. It's a .vsix file that you can install in VSCode, and that should work.

Open web browser on the host where you have your container and go here:
http://yourcontainername:8080/
Copy the vsix file to the host, then type 'vsix' in the command palette and install it from there.

By the way, intellisense doesn't suggest 4.2 but you can enter it in app.json and see if it compiles

Thanks DenSter!

Your first suggestion helped me to access VSCode to Docker Sandbox.

Best regards,
