VS Code Integration

Users creating Data Blocks will have the ability to download a Python Data Block and its dependencies to the local machine for editing via a tool that supports Python coding. VS Code editor is the Assette recommended editor as plug-ins will be developed for VS Code.

Within the Block Definition tab, “Download” and “Upload” buttons would be available as shown.

Clicking on Download will download a zip file containing the Data Block related artifacts to a local folder in the user's machine.

The user will be able to open the files in VS Code Editor. This will consist of the Python Code and Unit Tests. Users will have the option of making further edits to the code in the local machine, check-in to the GIT repository in the development environment.

Once the edits are complete and the code is unit tested the user will be able to upload the changes back into the Data Block Editor.

An Upload button would be available for same.

A VS Code plug-in will be provided as an alternate option to download/upload Data Block code.
