Code for IBM i: RPGLE with git, make, and lint

[@raghunathd6094]

Thank you Liam for this super helpful video. I have been trying out Code for IBM I since a while and love it. Thanks for all the great work you have done for the IBM i developer world become more current.

Hey Liam, I'm just getting started with VSCode for RPG; setting it up and learning about some of the cool features. I can't get the Format Document function to work to properly nest my statements. It shows when I right click when I'm in the member, but it doesn't do anything. I have the RPGLINT.JSON file defined for my source file. As a side note, the Convert to RPG Free function works properly.

Awesome job with the video and all the extensions you've been building 🔨/contributing to.. this tutorial style vid is really helpful for folks like me who are new to using VS Code with IBM i

[@PaoloSalvatore]

Great job Liam, for us there's a great work to do, but I think your are showing a new way!

[@NarrativeX_75]

Great stuff!! Now all it needs is a container 🙂Keep it up.

Great video @Liam, you don't happen to have one that shows how to setup VSC for this and another on how to use Github?... many thanks

This is fantastic Liam - thank you very much for taking the time and effort to put this together for us! This is something I'm eager to try. This certainly spawns some other questions like: is there any way to automatically handle dependencies without explicitly updating a makefile? I'm imagining changing a table (or PF if dealing with legacy code) and needing to recompile all the non-SQL programs that open the table for I/O. I believe I'd have to manually track down the programs that use the table and add them to a makefile so they get recompiled whenever I change the table. If my codebase was all SQLRPGLE and we didn't do any native I/O at all my life would be so much easier. Unfortunately there's a lot of native I/O in the millions of lines of code my team works with... Anyway - as always, it's great to see what you're working on.

Hi liam thanks for all your open source work on the ibm i. I would like to know if we can use git to manage different systems on ibm if we have different development, recipe and production environments...

[@amadovivas3886]

Only one thing I have to say.... ....I have too much to learn or to relearn jejeje Thanks for sharing!!

Everytime I try a deploy and build I get the error bsh: BUILDLIB=MYLIB: is not an identifier, and idea what this would be?

[@donwanbubble]

i guess this is something to do with how your Pase is configured.. but im unable to find any information as to what they should be

Hello Liam and community, I have a problem when running my MakeFile file from the actions I get something like this * Executing task: IBM i: Build all Commands: /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/gmake BUILD_LIB=LZAPATAA PRUEBA=VOTREA500 ERR=*EVENTF bsh: BUILDLIB=LZAPATAA: is not an identifier Fetching errors for LZAPATAA/EMPLOYEES. * Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. but when I execute that same command from the qsh on my machine or from an ssh connection from my VsCode terminal it works for me... how could I make it execute or how can I tell the action to execute it with an X terminal because I think which is the terminal through which it is being executed.. thank you very much It is worth clarifying that within my MAKEFIELD file that BUILDLIB library does not exist and I do not know where it is coming from

excellent

Liam, is anyone working on integration with Aldon?

[@rickp3259]

Our team had a training session with Aldon/Rocket recently. They said there is an extension for integration. I just looked. There is an extension called Rocket DevOps. I believe that is it.
