Welcome back to another Friday Fact! Have you ever faced yourself trying to open the Logic App Standard Workflow inside Visual Studio Code and get stuck in a blank canvas? The designer doesn’t work? In order words, it opens a tab inside Visual Studio code but doesn’t present the trigger and actions that compose the workflow.
Well, I have! Several times! And you know why? This behavior is likely because you are not logged in to Azure from Visual Studio Code, and you need to be logged in to open a workflow in Logic App Standard Designer inside Visual Studio Code. That is a fact!
Most of the time, or if you are lucky, on the bottom right side of the screen, there will be a warning that you are not signed in and need it to continue. With that, there is a button for you to perform the sign-in. If you click that button, it will open a browser that allows you to authenticate in Azure.
But sometimes, you are not that lucky. Or the message will not pop up, or it will disappear from the screen. If that is the case, you need to:
- Press
F1and typeAzure: Sign In.
- Follow the prompts to authenticate, which may involve opening a browser to authorize the login.
After that, you can go ahead and reopen the Logic App Standard workflow with the Designer once again. This time with success. That means, the designer will not and show you all the actions and trigger and you will be able to start or continue to work in the workflow inside the Designer.
A good way to know if you are logged in or not is to see in the blue Visual Studio Code taskbar if the login information is present.
If you see, for example, in my case, Azure: sandro.pereira@devscope.net, that means I’m logged in. If that information is not present, that means you are not logged in, and for you to continue, you need to log in.
