VIP Local Development Environment limitations

Though the VIP Local Development Environment is designed to be as identical to a VIP Platform environment as possible, some features are not yet available in the local environment.

• VIP File System, Cron control, and Page cache services are not built in. When developing features for an application that rely on these services, it is strongly recommended to stage changes and perform tests on a non-production VIP Platform environment.
• The VIP-CLI vip config envvar command can only be used for manage environment values on a VIP Platform environment and cannot be used on a VIP Local Development Environment. Manage environment variables on a VIP Local Development Environment by manually adding them as a defined constant instead.
