vRealize Developer Tools

A Visual Studio Code extension that provides code intelligence features and enables a more
developer-friendly experience when creating vRealize Orchestrator
and vRealize Automation content.

Prerequisites

To use most of the vRealize Developer Tools’s functionality, you will need a development vRealize Orchestrator instance and to set up vRealize Build Tools.

• vRealize Build Tools v2.29.0+
• Access to Artifact Repository - setup instructions
• maven v3.5+ available on the PATH system variable
• jdk 1.8

Install

vRDT can be installed either through the VS Marketplace or a .vsix file downloaded from the Releases page.

To verify the checksum of a .vsix file, do the following:

1. Download all 3 files from the Releases page (.vsix, .vsix.sha256 and .vsix.sha256.minisig)
2. Verify the signature of the checksum file using minisign

    minisign -Vm vrealize-developer-tools-X.X.X.vsix.sha256 \
        -P "RWSLXIQU0b52vHvyFK7d0SQmt3he8hrZnBzwp/e30XALf4rtRc0Cluhh"

3. Verify the checksum of the vsix file

    sha256sum -c vrealize-developer-tools-X.X.X.vsix.sha256

Upgrade steps

If you have installed any versions prior 2.0.0, do the following to upgrade.

1. Remove the old version from the VS Code Extensions panel (Cmd+Shift+X)
2. Reload VS Code by executing the Reload Window command (Cmd+Shift+P)
