Edit existing vRO Workflow Scriptable Tasks and Action code direcly by hooking straight into your linked git repo
Create new vRO Action using a guided wizard
Support for the following vRO runtimes
Javascript
NodeJS
Powershell
Python
Supports artifacts from vRO >= 8.0
Edit, lint and correct code in your existing Actions and Workflows
Download your vRO Repo locally (git pull / clone)
Open the root folder for the Repo using VSCode
Browse for a Workflow or Action XML file and click on it
Now, you can browse the Scripts in your Workflow / Action in the vRO Code Explorer
Optional: Preview the script you want to edit by right-clicking the script and selecting "Preview"
Export the script you want to edit by right-clicking the script in the Outline View and clicking "Export"
This will generate a specifically-named code file in the same folder as your workflow, and will open it in the editor
Make your edits and corrections as you would any other code file
ReInject your edited script by right-clicking the relevant item in the vRO Code Explorer\
You can export / reinject / preview individual scripts from Workflows
You can export / reinject all scripts in a Workflow:
Create new vRO Actions
Right-Click a folder in the Explorer pane in VSCode
If your path is "Actions" or a descendent thereof (which is the default base location for a vRO repo for actions), VSCode will prompt for the following:
Action Name
Action Namespace
Number of expected inputs
For each input:
Input name
Input Type
Return type for your Action
Language / Runtime for your action
js (Regular Javascript), or
ps (Powershell), or
python (Python), or
node (NodeJS)
Once completed, the extension will create a new vRO XML file and will generate and open a new code window matching the language you specified. When you're done writing your code, you will have the ability to reinject your code back into the Action XML. Easy as pie.
Create vRO Action Bundles (New!)
Right-Click either the "ActionBundles" folder or a descendent thereof in the Explorer pane in VSCode
If your path contains "ActionsBundles" (which is the default base location for a vRO repo for actions), VSCode will prompt for the following:
Action Name
Action Namespace
Number of expected inputs
For each input:
Input name
Input Type
Return type for your Action
Entry point
Language / Runtime for your action bundle (note that regular ES5 JS is not supported in Action Bundles)
ps (Powershell), or
python (Python), or
node (NodeJS)
Once completed, the extension will create the necessary Action Bundle files, and will generate and open a new code window matching the language you specified. When you're done writing your code, simply save your bundle script files and check in your code. Easy as pie.
Instruct vRO to perform a "pull"
Once you've pulled your vRO repo locally, create a file somewhere in the folder structure, specifically named vro_config.yaml with the following contents:
