When you execute automated tests of X++ code with SysTest, the test service (SysTestService class) gets called with some parameters, defined in SysTestRunnerSettings: You could, for example, set granularity to execute just unit tests and skip integration tests, or produce a trace file for diagnostics. You may want to use such parameters in automatic processes …
Last time, I mentioned using of GitHub Copilot for X++ development, but I didn’t realize that not everyone is aware of the option of using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio. A lot of examples on Internet shows it in Visual Studio Code and don’t mention Visual Studio at all, which may be confusing. To use …
My F&O environment asked me to log in every time to when I started debugging. I changed OfflineAuthenticationAdminEmail in DynamicsDevConfig.xml (at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio Dynamics 365), but I noticed that the value got overwritten every time when I started Visual Studio and opened an F&O project.

The usual setup (documented by Microsoft) of version control for F&O is using Team Foundation Version Control and configuring the workspace mapping like this: $/MyProject/Trunk/Main/Metadata k:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory $/MyProject/Trunk/Main/Projects c:\Users\Admin123456789\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Projects This means that PackagesLocalDirectory contains both standard packages (such as ApplicationSuite) and custom packages, i.e. your development and ISV solutions you’ve installed. This works fine …
