VSCode devcontainer for OpenEdge Proof of Concept.
In order for this to work just one extension needs to be installed:
This particular setup uses OpenEdge 12.8. It's in a Docker container hosted on Docker Hub.
This is BYOL (bring your own license) and it this you just need a progress.cfg with a Linux 4GL Dev system in it (and whatever the requirement of the containers you add).
Put progess.cfg somewhere on your (host) filesystem:
For now the mount of the license is hardcoded in devcontainer.json.
"mounts": [
"source=c:/docker/license/oe-12.8/progress-128-all.cfg,target=/usr/dlc/progress.cfg,type=bind,consistency=cached"
],
Note that is this repo there's a reference to the license file in .devcontainer/docker-compose.yaml as well.
There are two routes to start.
- Clone this repo locally and start from there
- Clone in a Docker volume
Right now we take the first route, it's easier for demonstrations. In real life you should go for option 2.
so, assuming you are IN the directory in which you want to put the clone:
git clone https://github.com/bfv/openedge-devcontainer.git .
then start VSCode:
vscode .
If you wait a few moments this shows up:
IN devcontainer.json an extra extry have been added:
"formulahendry.code-runner"
This manifests itself like:
In order for this to work this plugin needs to be set up manually for now.
This is done in settings.json:
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"abl": "_progres -b -pf db.pf -p ${file}",
and
"code-runner.languageIdToFileExtensionMap": {
"abl": [".p", ".cls"],
