VS Code June Update. New command Help: Troubleshoot Issue in the Command Palette helps you troubleshoot an issue in VS Code. The launched workflow helps you identify the cause for an issue using a special Troubleshoot profile and the extension bisect feature. Nice.

I want to unzip the base application app file in my VS Code Extension but it does not work. This code works fine for "normal" zip archives. Does anyone know what I can do to unzip this .app file? I already tried different zip libraries.

My vs code debugger becomes unresponsive after I use "step over" 2 times. I cannot really debug anymore. It does not matter which break point I set, always the same. The only Button that works is the stop button. Any idea what I can do?

A new version of "AZ AL Dev Tools" is ready. You can try the new variable name and type completion by enabling it in the settings. Just set
"alOutline.completionProviders" to ["VariableNamesWithType","VariableDataTypes"] or ["VariableNames","VariableDataTypes"] #msdyn365bc

I am probably again the last to notice, but I just found out that you can easily turn off the notifications in vs code. Pretty useful as there are too many spammy extensions. I like!

Is it possible to add custom fields from table extensions to the new customer templates without using code? It was possible with configuration templates, but I do not see a way to do it with the new templates. Any idea is appreciated :-)

Nerds, I need you. Which laptop would you buy for work if you wanted to buy one? I need a new one with at least 15 inches. Price doesn't matter.
AZ AL Dev Tools never fails to surprise me with little new features that I discover by accident. I like this one. :-)
