Command pallet option to generate AL permission objects

Huub van Hout on 7/19/2021 7:28:56 AM
An extensions permission set XML will be replaced by the new Permission Set AL Objects. However, the command palette function 'AL: Generate permission set containing current extension objects' still creates an extensionsPermissionSet.xml in the root directory of the extension rather than Permission Set AL Objects.

It would be nice if the existing function either gets the option to select generating the XML files or Permission Set AL objects or a new function is introduced to create Permission Set AL objects containing all objects that are provided by that extension.

Thank you for this suggestion!

We are supporting this in 2022rw2 with a new command to generate permission set as an AL object, al.generatePermissionSetForExtensionObjects.

When invoking, the developer can chose to create a new permission file or select an existing file to update. 

The previous functionality of creating a permissionset xml file is moved into the command al.generatePermissionSetForExtensionObjectsAsXml.
