I am working on some proofs-of-concept to use the Wolfram Engine in the enterprise. I've created applications in Wolfram Workbench and for the most part, things work well when developing notebooks.

I'm also having some success developing unit testing framework.

However, I could not figure out how to run a file with a wl extension, which I thought was the desired extension for scripts. Though, I've seen wls as well (with Mathematica as the front end). In any event, Workbench limits me to m and wl.

However, when I try to run a wl file, I only get the option to run on server. I do not get an option to run locally as "Wolfram".

So, I tried creating a script using the mscrapbook extension (which is supported by Workbench. But, I cannot find much of anything using google on what this file type should be used for.

My end goal is to be able to use Workbench to develop hands-free scripts that can be deployed to run on a schedule using the Wolfram Engine.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Which file type should I use for scripts in the Wolfram Workbench?

Have a great and safe holiday.
