Changes in VS code not reflected in BCOnline

Hi,
I am using a trial BCOnline. But for all intents and purposes, this should be similar to BC Online Production environments.

I have successfully connected to the BCOnline using VSCode, and successfully downloaded symbols.

When I try to run the HelloWorld.al, it does not get published to BCOnline. When I do the same thing on BCOnPrem via docker, it works. When I open the customer list page, the msg "App published: Hello World" is prompted.

Why doesn't the standard HelloWorld.al work in BCOnline?

In my opinion it should work. What error do you get in your AL Project? If there are errors you cannot publish until you resolve the problem.

There are no errors. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I did the same thing with BCOnPrem with no errors, and with the changes published.

If VS Code doesn't report problems/errors it should be published. Did you check if the 'Hello World' app was published indeed? You could check this by going to the Extension Management page in BC.

I found out that if I use the actions Run -> Run without debugging from VSCode, the application is not published. This is the same with BCOnline or BCOnPrem. I have to instead use the pallette (Ctrl+Shift+p), then choose the command "AL: Publish without debugging", then it works.

I seem to recall that using "Run without debugging" from VSCode used to work for me on previous occasions.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe you had multiple extensions installed so then you have multiple publish commands from different extensions possibly. The AL Publish is the correct one indeed.

@jordi79,
Try using shortcut "Ctrl+F5"

Howdy, Stranger!
