Dev environment

For all developer machines that require to run our extension,

Clean the packages folder for all Eftsure extensions (see Clean Packages)

Go to Visual Studio, Connect to your Team Project, locate the appropriate branch where the Eftsure extension has been added, perform a Get Latest on the Eftsure folder and/or entire branch.

This process will download the copy of our extension onto your local machine,

Refresh Models in Visual Studio > Extensions > Dynamics 365 > Model Management > Refresh Models.

Then, compile the new or updated models and dependencies if any custom extension has been created on top of our extension.

Then synchronize your database.

Important: Resource files are not automatically deployed as part of the Get Latest process, see this article for more information. In order to force the deployment of resources, we recommend each developer to run this powershell script to redeploy resources manually after each GetLatest.

Then your developer machine is fully updated, ready to be configured and start testing / debugging / troubleshooting your environment.
