Cloud Code for Visual Studio Code Release Notes

This page documents production updates to Cloud Code for Visual Studio Code. You can check this page for announcements about new or updated features, bug fixes, known issues, and deprecated functionality.

Version 1.22.1 (August 2023)

Updates

• Consolidated Cloud Code status bar. Cloud Code quick menu including switching projects and more are accessible via this status bar entry.
• Cloud Code project is now a configurable setting. Existing Cloud Code project is imported into this setting. Switching project can also still be done via status bar project selector.
• Updated in-product feedback UI. You can attach logs from Cloud Code with the bug/feature request to help us fix issues and improve the product.

Bug Fixes

• Various first party authentication bugfixes.

Version 1.22.0 (July 2023)

New Features

• Cloud Code Login: Logging in to Google Cloud is no longer delegated to the Google Cloud CLI. This makes for a faster and more native login experience, and reduces Cloud Code's dependency on the Google Cloud CLI. You might need to re-login after this update is installed.
  • Note that this authentication method does not work to authenticate Google APIs in applications you develop. To do that, you now must install the Google Cloud CLI and get Application Default Credentials. See Cloud Code documentation for more information.
• Google Cloud CLI management updates: The most commonly encountered issue with Cloud Code occurs right at startup, when Cloud Code installs the Google Cloud CLI. This operation takes a lot of time and CPU. We've taken several steps to reduce this friction and give you more control over and insight into the installation process.
  • Cloud Code now empowers users with more options to install Google Cloud CLI. The first time you use a feature that requires the CLI, you’ll be given the option to learn how to self-install it right from the IDE, use an existing installation, or continue with managed dependencies.
  • The new "Install Google Cloud CLI" guide, built right into the IDE, makes it easy for both new and old users to get started with a self installed version of Google Cloud CLI. This way, you're in complete control of Cloud Code’s dependencies. You can also access this guide at any time by clicking "Install Google Cloud CLI" in the Help and Feedback explorer.
  • Installation is postponed to the time the CLI is required. If you already use managed dependencies, the same delay you experienced every time you start up Cloud Code (if any) will occur right before you use functionality that requires the CLI or its components. We have worked to reduce the number of features dependent on the CLI, so this will occur less frequently.
  • When using self managed dependencies, Cloud Code will help you install all required components and keep you up to date with minimum required versions.

Updates

• Docker Desktop is no longer automatically launched by Cloud Code in operations that require it. These flows will now error out and you'll be asked to try again once you've launched Docker Desktop.

Bug Fixes

• Managed dependencies install script does not work on Windows if the user path has a space. #810

Version 1.21.8 (June 2023)

Bug Fixes

• Fix Cloud Run deployment bug that crashes when deploying with a sql connection. #804

Version 1.17.0 (Dec 2021)

New Features

• Private Cluster Support: Cloud Code provides guidance and helper utilities to help you connect to your GKE private clusters.

  • When there is an issue connecting to a private cluster, Cloud Code shows error messages with suggested workarounds for the private cluster configuration it detects. To see the workarounds, click a broken cluster in the Kubernetes Explorer. Notifications also appear when connection errors occur.

  • Cloud Code helps you set up proxying for a cluster, which is useful for when the public endpoint to the Control Plane API is not accessible from your client network and you must proxy API requests through a server in the same

  • Cloud Code will help you set up a Cloud NAT configuration for your GKE cluster’s VPC so nodes have outbound internet access. By default, GKE private clusters don't provide nodes with access to the public internet, which makes container image repositories outside Google Cloud inaccessible.

• Artifact Registry Support: UI improvements make it easier to configure your Kubernetes deployments to store images using Artifact Registry. To have the Artifact registry option appear in the UI, the active Google Cloud project must have the Artifact Registry API enabled and at least one Artifact Registry repository.

  • If an Artifact Registry Repo exists within your project, you can select the option to push images to an Artifact Registry repo.

  • Select the Artifact Registry repo you wish to deploy to.

  • Input the path within the chosen repo that the image should be stored at.

• Multi Microservice development: Module-based application deployment through Skaffold modules helps individual developers to iterate on part of the application.

  • Run on Kubernetes supports deploying one or more modules rather than deploying your entire application. You can configure the set of modules in your launch configuration (launch.json file) > skaffoldFlags > modules.

Kubernetes Explorer now takes you to the Cloud Console for GKE cluster management operations, such as creation and deletion of clusters. Managing cluster types other than minikube and GKE is no longer supported; you’ll need to use the cloud provider's tools to create other cluster types and add them to your KubeConfig.

• Iterative debugging When you're in debug mode and you make a change to your project, Cloud Code now redeploys your project and sets up a new debug session. You can toggle this feature with the “watch” flag in the launch configuration of your project. By default, “watch” is set to true (similar to run mode).

• Change Build Environment on the fly If, when you begin your Run/Debug on Kubernetes session, Cloud Code detects that you aren't using a recommended build environment for your development environment, you will have a chance to modify the build environment in your current Skaffold profile or change your Skaffold profile to one that uses a recommended build environment.

• Auto-start docker prompt When running or debugging Kubernetes and Cloud Run, you now are presented with a new quick-pick menu to start Docker service as part of the dependency check.

Updates

• Managed Cloud SDK performance improvements Improvements to the managed Cloud SDK installation process means much of Cloud Code functionality is now available 2 to 5x times faster upon installing the extension.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where debug path mapping was broken with Skaffold 1.25.0.

Version 1.12.0 (May 2021)

New Features

• Build with Cloud Build When Deploying to Cloud Run or Running/Debugging on Kubernetes, you can select to build with Cloud Build. Cloud Code will guide you through setting up Cloud Build in your project, and then will automatically configure and submit builds for each image to the cloud. Cloud Code will also make suggestions to use Cloud Build based on your current development environment. For example, Cloud Build will be recommended for deployment to GKE from ARM based clients because of the processor architecture mismatch.

• Minikube Auto Stop Improved client side performance for auto scheduling the minikube clusters started by cloud code.

Updates

• Cloud Run Cloud Run managed deployments now allow up to 8 GiB memory for any deployments with at least 2 vCPUs allocated.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where validation to have docker installed is not needed when using Google Cloud Build for deploying applications.
• Support multiple skaffold configurations in one single configuration file. #424

Version 1.11.1 (May 2021)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where views were slow to load in Visual Studio Code 1.56.0.

Version 1.11.0 (April 2021)

Updates

• Updated Explorer setup experience: Explorers that require any setup steps now guide you through the process of logging in, selecting a project, and enabling any required APIs in a more interactive and friendly way.
• Streamlined Explorer views: Secret values in Secret Tree View and ConfigMaps’ values in Kubernetes Explorer are now accessible in read-only (instead of editable) documents.
• Enhanced minikube management: Multi-step quick pick menu for minikube now comes with cancel and back buttons for easy navigation.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where .NET debugger was using the wrong debugger path with Skaffold. Added debuggerPath and processId field to the .NET debugger to enable setting the debugger path and process ID of the debuggee. #397, #418
• Fixed an issue where the artifacts property needed to be specified under the default skaffold’s profile even when there were additional profiles. #398
• Fixed an issue where multiple prompts to install necessary version of Cloud SDK that take up screen space. #414
• Fixed an issue where the Enable Cloud Run API button was disabled in the Cloud Run WebView.

Version 1.10.0 (March 2021)

New Features

• GKE Autopilot Cluster Creation: You can now create GKE Autopilot clusters with the Cluster Creation wizard for a more managed mode of operation, taking advantage of Autopilot’s auto-provisioning and autoscaling of GKE infrastructure. For more details on how to configure your cluster, see the Adding a cluster guide.

• Initial support for M1-based Apple Silicon Macs: With this update, you can now build and work locally on your M1 Mac with Cloud Code, minikube, and Skaffold for ARM64 targets. Please note that Rosetta 2 is currently required as several dependencies are still x86/64 only, refer to instructions. Follow this GitHub issue for more information and to track the latest updates.

Updates

• Dry-run YAML Files: Perform a dry run of your configuration and check its validity using the newly added dry-run command (with either client-side or server-side validation). Dry-run evaluates the resource request without persisting objects to storage, and displays the validation result as a toast notification. To discover more commands to help with editing your configuration files, see the YAML editing guide.

Version 1.9.0 (February 2021)

New Features

• GKE Autopilot: You can now deploy your application to GKE Autopilot right from VSCode Cloud Code menu. GKE Autopilot is a new mode of operation of GKE clusters where infrastructure is auto managed by Google, provides auto provisioning and auto scaling of GKE infra to the end user. Overview of GKE Autopilot.
• Pre-release Channel: You can now use insider builds for trying out upcoming features and give us feedback before they are publicly released. You can go to cloud code settings “Cloud Code: Update Channel” and select an insider build that you want to try out. This will help us to make sure your development tools aren’t affected by the release of Cloud Code Plugin.

Bug Fixes

Cloud Code offers the option of importing a Git template repository so that teams can get started quickly from a standard set of starter applications, services, and infrastructure configuration best suited to teams’ organizational policies. To read more about templates and how to get started, head over to setting up a template repository guide.

• Cloud Code Status Bar options: Discover more about your currently active sessions with these additions to the Cloud Code status bar.
  • Open Service URL: Instead of scrolling through the logs to find the service URL, you can now open the application service URL in a web browser directly from the status bar.
  • Open Deployment Logs: Open the application logs with the Cloud Code Logs Viewer. This populates the necessary filters in the Logs Viewer for the selected deployment.
  • Turn on/off Watch Mode: Toggle watch mode (not available for debug session currently). This allows you to turn on/off watch mode for the current active run session without stopping, changing the launch.json watch field, and redeploying. Note that this toggle only affects the current session and not subsequent ones.

• New sample application READMEs: When you create a new sample application with Cloud Code, the new README gives updated guidance on next steps to help you get more out of Cloud Code.

Updates

• .NET launch debugging support: In addition to the attach configuration, Cloud Code now supports a launch configuration for .NET. You can now deploy and attach to a .NET application with a single configuration.

• YAML Editing Support: YAML editing support can now accurately be limited to a subdirectory under the working directory by setting cloudcode.yaml.yamlFileMatcher. Learn more

Updates

• Replace general icons with VSCode Codicons for commands.
• Improved Cloud Run (fully managed) support:
• Allocate up to 4 vCPUs to container instances with the increased limit.

Bug Fixes

• Fix .NET debugging fails to open a source file when the breakpoint is hit. #292
• Refresh AKS cluster UI after modifying the active subscription. #239

Version 1.7.0 (October 2020)

• Secret Manager Support: Many applications require credentials to connect to a database, API keys to invoke a service, or certificates for authentication. Cloud Code now integrates with Google Cloud's Secret Manager to make it easy to create, view, update, and use secrets from within your IDE so you can keep this sensitive data out of your codebase and keep your applications secure. Get started today by viewing secrets, creating a new secret, or add secret manager API support to your code. You can learn more about Secret Manager support from the Cloud Code Secret Manager documentation.

  • View secrets, their versions, permissions, and properties in the Secret Manager view.

• Minikube Credentials Support: When running or debugging on Cloud Run Emulator or minikube, Cloud Code will automatically set up the minikube gcp-auth addon. This will enable you to use your Google developer credentials to authenticate Google API client libraries in your apps when running in these environments with zero configuration required. Cloud Code also has a new login flow to ensure you have developer credentials installed when you login.

• Managed Dependencies in Integrated Terminal: You can now use Cloud Code managed dependency CLIs, such as minikube and gcloud, through VSCode Integrated Terminals.

Updates

• Improved Cloud Run (fully managed) support:

  • Deploy Cloud Run services from your IDE to these newly added regions. View the full supported list here.

  • Allocate up to 4GiB of memory to your services with the increased quota.

Bug Fixes

• Minikube status checks are aggressive and lead to generating more log files that can slow down other build tools. The change is to remove the live status bar but use minikube status bar to monitor status of different profiles and is less invasive. #286 #313

• Cloud run emulator didn’t bootstrap itself on windows since it chose the hyper-v that got blocked on the need for special permissions, Cloud code now defaults to using docker driver for the emulator.

• Regions are not available when I use "Deploy to Cloud Run". #314

Version 1.6.0 (Septemeber 2020)

New Features

• Improved performance: Reduced load times for populating the GKE explorer (from about a 12 second load time to under 5 seconds!); logging out or switching accounts is now a much faster experience.

• Kubernetes run/debug bootstrapping improvements: Cloud Code now helps you set an active context at the start of a run or debug session to help you get your Kubernetes application deployed quickly. If you don’t have any contexts, Cloud Code helps you create one.

  

• Auto-start minikube: Cloud Code now manages minikube more proactively. When running/debugging on a minikube cluster that is paused or stopped, Cloud Code automatically starts the cluster at the beginning of the session and pauses it when you’re done.

  

Version 1.5.0 (August 2020)

New Features

• Cloud Run local development: Develop Cloud Run applications locally using Minikube clusters with the newly added Run and Debug on Cloud Run Emulator commands.

  

• Expanded CRD support: Cloud Code has been expanded to support validation, hover documentation, and code completions for hundreds of popular Kubernetes Custom Resources.

  

• Buildpacks support: In addition to Docker, you can now build your images with Google Cloud buildpacks.

  

• Auto generate configuration experience for existing K8s apps: The UI that helps auto generate configuration for an existing app moving in to using Cloud Code extensions now supports specifying all available build and configuration settings.

  

• Improved New Application UI: Creating a new application now uses the system file picker to help you quickly place the new files in a familiar way. You can rename the new application folder through your system file manager.

  

Version 1.4.0 (May 2020)

New features

• Kubernetes Context Management: Contexts are now accessible from the Kubernetes Explorer! You can now browse and switch between Kubernetes contexts as you would during your development workflow with Cloud Code. With the updated Kubernetes Explorer, it's easier to understand the active context associated with your current cluster and move to another if you need.

  

• PersistentVolumeClaim support: The Kubernetes Explorer will now show your cluster's PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) resources and each PVC's status and key details.

  

Bug Fixes

• Cloud Code will now allow you to browse and switch between Kubernetes contexts. #131
• You can now browse PersistentVolumeClaim in the Kubernetes Explorer. #193

Version 1.3.0 (April 2020)

We are pleased to announce Cloud Run support in Cloud Code for VS Code!

New Features

• Cloud Run support in VS Code: Cloud Code now makes it easy to develop and deploy your services to Cloud Run (fully managed) or Cloud Run for Anthos on GKE directly from within Visual Studio Code. You can get started with our starter templates for Java, Node.js, Go, or Python.

  • Browse your Cloud Run services directly from the IDE using the Cloud Run explorer. Easily see details of deployed services as well as revisions and status.
  • Follow the Cloud Run quickstart guide to get started!

  

• Improved dependency management: Better experience when Cloud Cloud is managing dependencies.

  • Improved performance when installing managed dependencies.
  • Stay up to date with the latest versions of dependencies.

• Cloud Code: Debug on Kubernetes: New command to debug applications with the same configuration used to run the application.

  • Invoking this command will launch the application and debugs all the containers in the app.
  • Refer to the documentation for more on this feature.

  

• Separate views for Kubernetes, Cloud Run and APIs: Reorganized UI to focus on the flows that matter.

  

Other Changes

• Dependency management: Previously offered "On," "Off," and "Ask" as choices for managing dependency with "Ask" as the default. In the latest release we've removed the "Ask" choice with "On" as the default. Anyone who has picked "Ask" will be defaulted to "On."
• Deprecation of Kubernetes deploy commands: The deprecated ‘Cloud Code: Deploy’ and ‘Cloud Code: Continuous Deploy’ have been removed. Use ‘Cloud Code: Run on Kubernetes’ command.

Bug Fixes

• Add support for Google Cloud Run. #231
• Hanging while installing dependencies. #227
• Cannot start debugger for .NetCore project. #225
• GKE Explorer does not work in windows 10. #224
• Add Configuration to Existing Project is broken. #223
• Add a guidance message in case no Kubernetes manifest are present. #203

Version 1.2.1 (March 2020)

Version 1.2.0 (February 2020)

New features

• Flexible Kubernetes YAML editing: Edit your Kubernetes YAML with additional support for multiple Kubernetes versions.

• Streamlined remote development flow: Work with Cloud Code using a remote development environment, taking advantage of newly added support:

  • Start development with just Visual Studio Code installed.

  • Receive direct reporting on the progress of ‘Open with Cloud Code’ throughout its flow.

  • Cancel the open any time during the operation.

  • If an error does occur, know that it will come with actionable guidance.

    

• Cloud Code: Deploy deprecation: ‘Cloud Code: Deploy’ and ‘Cloud Code: Continuous Deploy’ commands are deprecated. While these commands continue to work, they will be removed in the next release (v1.3), targeted for the end of March.

  Use ‘Cloud Code: Run on Kubernetes’ command instead.

• Improved Logs Viewer: Make the most out of your log viewing with the following new filters:

  • Log Type: switch between kubectl, Cloud Logging and Cloud Run logs.

  • Cluster: switch between different clusters when viewing Cloud Logging logs. This allows you to query logs from specific clusters instead of from all of them. For kubectl logs, this will only show the current active cluster.

    

Bug Fixes

• Cloud Code will no longer continually switch user context to the output window. #176
• Fixed an issue where the Logs Viewer hangs when you don’t have permission to list all namespaces. #201
