ObjectScript with Visual Studio Code

Using the InterSystems ObjectScript extension, developers can edit and deploy ObjectScript code with the Visual Studio Code IDE. This video shows how to install the ObjectScript extension, export ObjectScript classes from the server, and write new methods in Visual Studio Code.

Here are a few pointers I have for using this extension:
1. Edit the object script connection in your workspace settings (not global settings.json). This allows you to have multiple workspaces for different environments
2. Change the permissions on your settings.json or workspace-settings.json files so that only your user can read the file. This is an okay workaround for the plaintext settings at the moment but isn't bulletproof.
3. To setup a good folder structure, export any class from the server and it will populate the proper folder structure in your project. Then just delete the class you imported.
4. Uncheck the compile on save feature so you don't accidentally compile code mid development and overwrite the server version

There is no intersystems logo on the left, after installing the extension. Can't export classes. How can I fix this?
