Ability to Execute Tests from Visual Studio Code

If we were able to run tests from Visual Studio Code (and from some command line application - like we can build using alc.exe) it would make a massive improvement to the efficiency of development (and probably the uptake in writing and running tests). This presupposes that you have the releva...

Automatic unpublish and publish from VSCode

Working with extensions which have dependency on other extensions is currently not very easy. For example if we have a "main app" and a "test app", then in order to republish our main app, then we first have to unpublish the test app. Not only is there no way to do this from VSCode (except tha...

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We have decided to deliver this idea and make it available with Business Central 2019 release wave 2.  

Learn more about what's new and planned in the release plan here:

When working with projects in a workspace, the dependency graph will now be "walked" on deployment, and extensions uninstalled/reinstalled automatically. If the project you deploy is depending on other changed projects in the workspace, those will be deployed as well. You will have influence on this, i.e., there is support to just swap out a single extension as well (ignoring deploying changes in other projects/extensions). This allows you to roundtrip on e.g., test and product extensions.
