Pipeline Editor

Visual editing and source navigation for SFCC pipeline XML in VS Code

The VS Code extension registers Intellij SFCC Pipeline Editor for files matching **/cartridge/pipelines/*.xml and **/pipelines/*.xml. It gives pipeline XML a graph-oriented editor while preserving access to raw source.

Use It For

  • Inspecting pipelets, transitions, branches, joins, starts, and stops visually.
  • Opening the selected pipeline in the graph editor from the editor context menu.
  • Switching back to XML source for precise edits.
  • Navigating pipeline route references from SFRA or XML usage sites.
  • Debugging pipeline breakpoints when a debug session supports them.

Entry Points

  • Open a matching XML file and choose the Pipeline Editor.
  • Run Show Pipeline Editor from the editor context menu.
  • Run Show Pipeline Source to return to the raw XML source.
  • Use Create Pipeline from the Explorer context menu for new pipeline files.
