GitHub Copilot + ServiceNow SDK: Converting an existing app to Fluent

Hi Everyone,

I am exploring how to use VS Code, GitHub Copilot, and ServiceNow SDK/Fluent for local ServiceNow development.

I have an existing ServiceNow application that was built directly in the ServiceNow instance. I can pull the application to my local machine, but the pulled code/artifacts are not in Fluent format.

I was hoping GitHub Copilot could understand the existing application and help convert the relevant artifacts to Fluent, but it is not able to do this reliably.

I am trying to understand the recommended way to achieve this:

Existing ServiceNow App → Pull locally → Convert to Fluent → Continue development using Copilot + SDK

 

Is there a recommended ServiceNow SDK approach or workflow for converting an existing application to Fluent, especially when now-sdk transform does not achieve this?

If you use ServiceNow IDE, you can use the Fluent: Convert an app to Fluent option from the command palette.  I've only used it a couple of times and on small apps but it worked fine.

IDK if you can do that directly from VS Code though so give SN IDE a try.  Let me know if you run into any problems.  I'm no expert but I've done my share of GH Copilot / ServiceNow stuff.
