CF Space Switcher
A VS Code extension that logs in to a saved Cloud Foundry API endpoint, org and space and switches between them from a view in the editor, with the targeted space's apps and service instances beside it.
Moving between Cloud FoundrySAP BTP, Cloud Foundry RuntimeThe Cloud Foundry runtime of SAP BTP: memory for applications in a Cloud Foundry org, run from SAP's Java, Node.js and Python buildpacks or community buildpacks and managed with the standard Cloud Foundry tools.sap official, btp API endpoints, orgs and spaces otherwise means retyping cf login and cf target in a terminal. This extension keeps favourite API endpoints, preloaded with SAP BTP's Cloud Foundry endpoints, saves a default target for a one-click login, and shows the current org and space in the status bar. For the targeted space it lists the apps, with start, stop, restart, restage, scale, SSH and logs, expands an app into its instances, and attaches a Node.js or Java debugger to one instance through a cf ssh tunnel. It lists service instances and their keys and can write a key into a project as a CAP hybrid binding in .cdsrc-private.json or as default-env.json. It drives the Cloud Foundry CLI, which has to be installed, and asks before acting on a target whose org or space name matches prod, production or prd by default.

provides Debugging
Attaches a Node.js or Java debug session in VS Code to one running instance of a Cloud Foundry app through a `cf ssh` tunnel to that instance's debug port, mapping the open folder to `/home/vcap/app`; the app has to be started with a debugger listening.
“Attach Debugger - On a running instance: opens a `cf ssh` tunnel to the debug port inside *that* instance's container and attaches a Node.js or Java debug session to it.”“The app has to be started with a debugger listening (`NODE_OPTIONS=--inspect`, or `JBP_CONFIG_DEBUG` for Java).”

provides Deployment
Logs in to a saved Cloud Foundry API endpoint, org and space and switches between them, and runs the lifecycle operations on the targeted space's apps from VS Code: start, stop, restart, restage, scale and restarting a single instance, each asking first on a target it counts as production.
“Quick Login - Save your preferred default API, Target, and Space for instant login”“Applications - The apps of the targeted space, with start/stop/restart/restage, scale, "open URL", environment, SSH, and recent or live logs in an output channel.”“Production guard - The status bar turns orange with a warning icon on a production target, and switching there — or stopping, restarting, restaging, scaling an app, restarting a single instance, opening a shell or a debugger into one, enabling SSH, or deleting a service key in it — asks first.”
