Introduction :
I started working on Servicenow IDE on a small project for my client . I was working on a Partner 360 portal . I created detailed scaffold files .
Docs/README.MD , RULES.MD , along with plans and task.
This helped me create some really good looking UI , Tables, Sample data etc . I am attaching the UX below . But then i thought of continuing the project using Claude Code and Visual Studio.
Reason :
1. I couldnt see how to upgrade the SDK in Servicenow IDE
2. I couldnt see how to change the model to Claude Sonnet 4.5 in the Servicenow IDE .
So I configured Git . Lined my code to my repo and committed everything .
The idea was to clone in VS and continue from there .
But then hell broke .
Problem Description:
I'm experiencing an issue with ServiceNow Studio's Git integration where only certain files are being synced to my GitHub repository, while the entire src/ directory structure is missing.
What I Expected:
After configuring Git integration in Studio and pushing my application, I expected the following structure in my GitHub repo:
├── now.config.json ├── package.json ├── src/ │ ├── client/ │ │ ├── app.jsx │ │ ├── index.html │ │ ├── components/ │ │ └── utils/ │ ├── fluent/ │ │ ├── *.now.ts files │ │ └── subdirectories │ └── server/ │ └── *.js files
What Actually Happened:
- Git repository was created successfully
- Configuration files (now.config.json, package.json) may have synced
- Entire src/ directory is missing from the repository
- No client-side React components, Fluent metadata files, or server scripts were pushed.
basically the only commits that happened ( albeit partially) was only the servicenow META files .
None of the UX , TypeScript , Fluent , JSON nothing came up .
My Question :
1. Has anyone tried this ?
2. Is that Normal ?
3. Does this mean that If i Have started work on Builder ( Servicenow IDE) , I cannot work outside ?
4. Am i doing something fundamentally wrong .
PS : I was following @Earl Duque video .
Can anyone help .
Its getting tougher to continue development with default Servicenow Studio with limited Assists .
