Sign in to your Azure Account by clicking "Sign in to Azure..." in the Azure Resources explorer
If you don't already have an Azure Account, select "Create a Free Azure Account"
-
Select the
+
button to open the "Create Resource" menu -
Choose "Create Database Server..."
- Install and run the Cosmos DB Emulator on your local machine
- Right click 'Attached Database Accounts' and select 'Attach Emulator'
- Azure no longer supports gremlin queries on pre-GA graph accounts. If you see the error "Could not find a valid gremlin endpoint for graph", then choose "Open Portal" on the graph node and check the "Gremlin Endpoint" in the Overview tab. If it does not take the form of '...[graph-name].gremlin.cosmosdb.azure.com...', then you will need to create a new graph account using the Azure portal or the current version of the extension.
- Graphs are not currently supported with the emulator
- Viewing/editing tables is not currently supported
- Support for escapes in the scrapbooks is preliminary. We currently do not support escaped characters as is inside a string - the characters need to be double escaped. For example, newlines in the string should be '\\n' instead of '\n' to be recognized correctly. If you find any issues with how the scrapbook handles escapes, please add to issue #937.
