How to close the gap between CRXDE and the code base

[infiniteshi]

Hi AEM Community,

I'm working on a page in AEM in its editor mode and the components on that page are not functioning. The error says that 

File "/apps/<projectName>/foundation/global.jsp" not found

But I can see this folder in the code base within my IDE (IntelliJ and VSCode, screenshot below from VSCode though)

and I tried to use VSCode AEM Sync to export the entire /foundation folder as well as its two child files into my local AEM instance (6.5.0).

However, despite the "success" message from the sync effort I still don't see global.jsp show up where it should be in CRXDE.
As a matter of fact, even though I see the foundation folder showing up in CRXDE now, it's empty!! The actual two .jsp files were not really pushed into AEM.

Specifically, I would like to hear any experience of yours troubleshooting a similar issue; or, maybe what's even more important, in general, how to close the gap between CRXDE and my local code base?

Thanks.

Hi @infiniteshi ,

Kindly Check whether your using the extension i had showed in below screen shot and also make sure it as necessary access rights configured,In my case it was using default admin access.

It works fine for me see below references

@infiniteshi You can follow below videos where you can find step by step details on how to sync code between AEM & Intellij/Visual studio/Eclipse. I always follow this doc and works for me 🙂

Time stamps: 

for Intellij Repo setup: https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/tools/tree/master/repo#installation 

Once you setup Repo, then you can easily sync content between. 

Hope this docs help you.
