The first step is to configure an endpoint to your development environment in order to enable some features and to collect vRO Scripting API symbols and documentation (used to power the code intelligence features of the extension). In addition, the vRO extension adds vRO-aware autocomplete, support for moving content between your local machine and a vRA/vRO instance, automated project on-boarding and more. Out of the box, Visual Studio Code already provides powerful JavaScript editing, navigation and refactoring features, built-in Git support and thousands of extensions to enrich your development workflow (some of my personal favorites are Beautify, GitLens, Settings Sync and Docker). In this post, I will showcase some features of the vRO extension for Visual Studio Code that we created to enable a more developer-friendly experience when creating vRO and vRA content.
However, as a friend of mine once said – developing infrastructure automation at scale is hard, and it requires diving into the world of software development while using different processes and tools. On the other hand, we already have awesome visual editors of such content – vRealize Automation (vRA) and vRealize Orchestrator (vRO). While they are all incredible editors, none of them are currently capable of working with vRealize content. Also, it provides enough customization options to create a comfortable experience, which should not be underestimated as we often spend multiple hours every day working with code.ĭozens of options are available – from cultural picks like Vim and Emacs, to full-blown IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse. Whether you are new to the field, or a black-belt ninja, you need the right one to do your magic. A good code editor makes you more efficient at writing code and assists you in examining and editing it. The source code editor is a fundamental part of every software engineer’s life.
