Visual Studio Code

Packaged Tools

Known Issues and Limitations

  • Like JupyterLab and RStudio, Visual Studio Code runs on Analytical Platform’s Kubernetes infrastructure, therefore we cannot provide access to Docker.

  • Visual Studio Code’s port forwarding functionality doesn’t work, which means you cannot run Dash or Streamlit applications, you will need to continue to use JupyterLab

  • Due to how Analytical Platform automatically scales tooling up and down depending on user activity, session persistence is not available in Visual Studio Code’s extensions, for example GitHub Pull Requests.

  • Connecting to Microsoft Azure is possible, however you will need to change the setting mssql.azureActiveDirectory to DeviceCode, as per this comment

  • We are aware of an issue with Visual Studio Code timing out, while we determine the cause of this, users will need to choose “Reload Window”.

  • Conda’s environments do not persist (fresh deployment or unidling) as it’s directory /opt/conda is not stored on the persistent file system. We are evaluating if we should move this to persistent storage.
