I develop for D365 Business Central, I use VSCode which has an extension to develop apps for it. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dynamics-smb.al
Having installed the above VSCode extension, connecting to a SaaS sandbox, which is simply writing the config flags of in a Launch.json file which is part of the app's file structure, I develop for D365 Business Central.
Recently I have been wanting to write/edit, deploy and debug in Mac OS X terminal itself. Avoiding using VScode. I have no idea where to begin to eventually have a complete setup in the terminal itself of developing apps for D365 Business Central not touching VSCode.
I need guidance, please share how do I start this. I do know first I have to choose an editor, VIM maybe? and then figure out how to place files that get downloaded from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dynamics-smb.al somewhere accessible in Terminal? Because that is what will give me autosuggests of functions etc like it does in VScode?
you can only use VSCode, the compiler and the build tools are not standalone (I feel your pain, I'm coming from vim)
Cheers
