PowerPages Edit Code in VSCODE Web

Posted on by dex87865

Hi All,

I must be missing something as I am attempting to edit my "Home" Power Pages page with the "Edit Code" button, I get the message Edit in Visual Studio Code for the Web, however upon loading I get the warning "The extension 'Power Platform Tools wants to sign in using Microsoft". I press allow and then I sign in with my MS account I use but am immediately shown an error:

Authorization Failed. Please run again to authorize it

There was a permissions problem with the server

Any ideas where I need to set the permissions for this to allow Editing of the code in VS?

Many thanks

Hiya,

This has now been resolved in my case and it was relating to a CA Policy blocking 365 App login to other countries.

I assume perhaps this some sort of sandbox so logs in from places like Amsterdam data centre.

Hopefully it helps you as well.

Hi @zylgwyn,

is anybody in your company able to login? If not have a look at your blocked websites in your company, maybe you need to add vscode web as exception.

I would recommend trying the vs code plugin and see if you have access to the power page and can work on desktop vs version. For that follow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SKXP7rQx4g

Hi @Lucas001
you are right, it says I'm not logged in using any account.
I tried to turned on the sync setting I got this error.

I got few users try to reproduce the same thing and they all got similar error.

Hi @bdcollins, @zylgwyn,

you should be able to login yourself even in the VS Code Web.
What is stated down at your account?
Are you logged in?

Hi Lucas,
Thank you for responding to this thread. Unfortunately, we did that as well but no luck.

When first open the VS Code, there's prompt saying 'the extension Power Platform tools wants to sign in using Microsoft' followed by sign in prompt and then it says the authorization failed.

Have you tried different browser?

I for myself use firefox with the Multi-Account-Container AddOn so that all the new tabs are opened with the same account.

Re: PowerPages Edit Code in VSCODE Web

Hi Everyone,

I'm also having the same issue, whatever I do, it always says 'Authorization failed' for all users in our organisation. Everyone has admin level access. We did installed XRM Toolbox as workaround, but I think VSCode is far more superior, robust and more interactive as IDE.

There's no currently support to raise a ticket for this particular product, but I did ask support through 'Power Apps' support, but no response so far.

So, please any help on this issue will be a great deal for us moving forward as this product has heaps of potential in the market.

Thanks.

Re: PowerPages Edit Code in VSCODE Web

Hi @bdcollins ,

do you have another PowerPage where you could try to use VS Code?
The reason is to see if something is wrong witht he page or with the rights settings
