HostBridge for VSCode

This extension adds options to Make, Execute, and Put Hostbridge scripts on the Explorer context menu as well as the Editor context menu. It also adds a Hostbridge Explorer that acts as a host repository browser. The repository browser provides context menu options to Get and Delete content items.

Please note this extension is still considered beta.

Credits

The functionality in this extension is modeled after the original Eclipse extension provided by Hostbridge.
For now the handful of file icons used in the Host Explorer are from Philipp Kief's excellent Material Icons Theme.

Setup

To get started, simply define all your hosts, regions, and repositories via Settings -> Hostbridge -> Hosts (or by editing your settings.json file and adding a hostbridge.hosts node).

    "hostbridge.hosts": [
        {
            "name": "HostAbc",
            "regions": [
                {
                    "name": "CICSAAAA",
                    "port": 8888,
                    "protocol": "https",
                    "userid": "MYSIGNON",
                    "repositories": [
                        "Repo1",
                        "Repo2",
                        "Repo3"
                    ]
                },
            ]
        }
    ],

By default, any files downloaded from a host repository are saved to your workspace folder root\HostBridge\tempFiles. This location can be changed via settings.

Extension Settings

This extension contributes the following settings:

hostbridge.hosts: The available hosts and their respective regions and repositories
hostbridge.activeRepository: The currently selected hostbridge repository
hostbridge.tempFolderRoot: If not set, defaults to current workspace folder
hostbridge.tempFolderName: Folder name relative to Temp Folder Root to use for saving downloaded content (defaults to HostBridge\tempFiles)
