Connecting to a runtime environment

To enable distributed application workflows, configure VS Code to connect to your Teracloud Streams domain.

Running Streams domain required

You will need a running Streams domain before you can connect the extension to one. Follow the steps in the Set up a runtime environment section if you do not already have one.

Note

Only one domain can be connected to the extension at a time.

Configuring VS Code proxy

Streams domains by default have self-signed certificates. In order for the VS Code extension to communicate with domains with self-signed certificates, you need to set http.proxySupport to allow self-signed communication.

  1. Click here to open the setting in VS Code, or navigate to Settings and search for http.proxySupport
  2. Double-check the scope you want the setting at: User, Remote, or Workspace
  3. Change the value to fallback

Connecting to a domain

  1. Click the (Streams Explorer) icon in the Activity Bar
  2. Click the Add Domain button to bring up a series of prompts

  3. Enter the REST API URL for the domain

    Tip

    You can get this value by running streamtool geturl --api in your deployed environment.

  4. Enter your username

  5. Enter your password

After connecting to a Streams domain, you can administer Streams instances and submit distributed applications if you have a running instance.

Disconnecting from a domain

  1. Click on the (Accounts) icon in the lower-left of the Activity Bar
  2. Hover over the account with (Teracloud Streams Domain)
  3. Click Sign Out
