has anyone tried to set up Github Copilot in BAS? I cannot find it inside of the extensions list and the Github Copilot documentation nowhere mentions BAS/ Eclipse. As far as I understand BAS is based on Eclipse Theia and it has a VSCode look and feel.

Does anyone have any idea if it is possible to run Github Copilot in BAS?

  • To my understanding, this is not a technical, but a legal issue: [GitHub Copilot is provided only via the Visual Studio Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.copilot), but [not via the Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/?search=copilot&category=&sortBy=relevance&sortOrder=desc) which is used by Eclipse Theia: [_"The terms of use for the Marketplace prevent any non-Visual Studio products from accessing it."_](https://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2020/march/1.php). Maybe installation work via file (_Download Extension_ in Marketplace). – howlger Feb 20 '23 at 14:25

  • @howlger , I just did and it gave me a pretty long answer that went smth like this: ...Github Copilot is currently only available as an extension for Visual Studio Code. ...Install the VS Code extension for BAS: BAS is built .. ...Connect BAS to Github Copilot: Open the Command Palette in BAS... Search for "Preferences: Open User Settings" and select it Scroll down to the "Extensions" section and select "Business Application Studio" Scroll down to the "BAS > Advanced" section and add the following setting: "bas.useVsCodeExtensions": true Save the settings file and restart BAS – Coding With Toms Feb 20 '23 at 19:59

You may use the newly released VS Code extension "SAP Business Application Studio toolkit" to expose SAP BAS to GitHub Copilot. Just install it in the ssh-forwarded container once you are connected to your dev space in Cloud Foundry.

After keeping an eye out for some time regarding this issue I noticed that SAP has recently release a SAP BAS Studio Toolkit plugin- https://blogs.sap.com/2023/04/28/access-sap-business-application-studio-as-a-remote-from-visual-studio-code/

With this you are able to run BAS in your VSCode where you also can run Github Copilot.
