Posit Workbench Extension in VS Code

The Posit Workbench Extension provides several useful tools when developing in VS Code sessions running on Posit Workbench.

• Quick access to the Posit Workbench home page from the Posit Workbench home button in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen.
• Proxied Servers view to securely proxy application and API web servers available from the Posit logo in the Activity Bar on the left-hand side.
• Workbench Jobs view to easily start new Workbench Jobs from within a VS Code environment, as well as monitor or terminate running jobs. Job output streams can also be viewed for more detail.

Note

If the Posit Workbench Extension for VS Code is not installed, please contact your administrator and refer them to these installation instructions. Without the extension VS Code sessions will launch but without the additional features.
