Test the installation
This test creates a project, builds it and opens it in the Designer's own engine. If it works, the extension, Java, Maven and the engine all work together. It assumes Install the Designer is done, including its command prompt check.
Plan 15 minutes, if everything runs smoothly.
Note
The first build downloads a considerable number of Maven dependencies. Depending on your connection this takes several minutes, and later builds are much faster.
Steps
Start VS Code and open an empty folder in your working directory: .
Wait until the engine has finished downloading. The progress shows in the bottom right corner.
Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P and run Axon Ivy: Add Axon Ivy Project.
Enter a project name and let the project be created.
Open the Command Palette again and run Axon Ivy: Build and Deploy all Projects.
Wait until the build has finished.
Click Browser in the middle of the status bar at the bottom. The integrated browser opens.
Click the house icon in that browser.
You should see the Axon Ivy start page, displayed in full. That is the test passed.
If it does not get that far
What happens |
Where to look |
|---|---|
The engine download does not start or does not finish |
Internet access, see Addresses that must not be blocked |
The build fails while downloading dependencies |
Maven's proxy settings, see If your internet access goes through a proxy |
The build complains about Java or Maven |
Run the command prompt check in Install the Designer again, in a new Command Prompt |
The browser stays empty or reports a proxy error |
