Convert application with ServiceNow IDE not working

ArjunBasnet · ‎07-23-2025

I wanted to utilize servicenow IDE for existing scoped application. However, when following the instruction: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/yokohama-application-development/page/build/servicenow-ide/ta...

to convert existing application. I can not find the command: Fluent: Convert a scoped app to Fluent.

I am using latest version 2.1.2.

Fortunately, when trying to use servicenow SDK for the same, it was able to pull all the metadata files/artifacts.

am I missing anything here?

Hi @ArjunBasnet,

Here’s what worked for me:

Ensure you have the 'sn_glider.ide_fluent_admin' role assigned.
Log out and log back in, then check if the “Fluent: Convert a scoped app to Fluent” command appears in the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

If it still doesn’t show up, try the following:

Open Settings (bottom-left corner of the IDE).
Go to Keyboard Shortcuts.
Search for "Fluent: Convert a scoped app to Fluent".
Assign a custom keybinding to the command.
Use the keybinding — this should list all available scoped apps for conversion.
Once triggered, the command should become available in the Command Palette as well.

Hope that helps!

Hi @ArjunBasnet Is your current scope the same as the application's one?

Hi @GlideFather

Yes it is. I expected to see list of scoped application regardless of "scope selection".

HI @ArjunBasnet

and is it a PDI or client's? Are there any scoped application in the instance?

I tried both in PDI and sub-prod instances, of course there is scoped app available. Thanks for the suggestion. As commented by Roshan below, it looks like there is glitch with command listing and works when shortcut key bindings are done.
