Long time user and lover of Manager, first time poster.
I am running version 26.4.30.3483 locally (just updated from 26.4.19.3414) and I cannot see Playground anymore. When I navigate to Settings → Extensions (https://www.manager.io/guides/playground-form) the Playground button anymore to turn it back on. I had this turned on but at some point over the past two weeks the contextual dialogues have disappeared from the UI and seeminly the button too (across both versions, so this is not because of the latest release). I’ve also noticed when I click the API button on Settings → Access Token, /swagger redirects to /businesses. I am using the desktop edition but have tested launching with --edition=server to the same outcome.
Has anyone else experienced this / know how to resolve?
The reason for the change is that these days, you are not really coding by hand anymore. Just feed your AI agent with basic overview and then OpenAPI specs for endpoints you need to use. How did you use playground feature before?
Saying that, I see value in being able to see API endpoints relevant to the screen you are looking at. In API4, Manager has over 1,300 endpoints and I still didn’t add all of them. That’s a lot of endpoints to scan through if you are looking for something specific related to specific screen. So I guess that’s what playground feature has been useful for?
Thanks, Lobos. Yes, that’s how I’ve been using it - see what endpoints are specific to the screen I’m on and then I run the endpoint to retrieve live samples. It’s been very helpful for where things aren’t obvious or seeing a better way to pick up data, the use-case I’m currently looking at (for example) is whether I can retrieve the ledger postings from a sales invoice, rather than reconstructing the ledger postings from the sales invoice lines (qty x unit price).
That documentation is helpful but you still need to know what you’re looking for so slightly less prompting.
