Loading window

The Loading window is opened when opening a workspace. The main activities are:
  • Locate workspace app.json file(s)
  • Locate available package files (typically in .alpackages, but depends on setup in Visual Studio Code)
  • Parse app.json
  • Parse NavxManifest.xml files from packages
  • Resolve dependencies from app.json and NavxManifest.xml taking into account the dependency declaration's version. Package resolution is influenced by Package resolution options.
  • Parse .al files from workspace folders and packages where source code is available
  • Parse SymbolReference.xml for packages where source code is not available
  • Index object members and object level dependencies
