Support Multi-root Workspaces

[talbenmoshe]

This extension is awesome! But i'm unable to use it since I switched to the new multi-root feature in vscode.

When I'm in a certain project, I get file suggestions only from a different project in the workspace.

Oh! I will take a look. Thanks!

I have used this extension and love it. the solution is described here

Looks like instead of setting this._workspacePath to rootPath in ctor

workspace.getWorkspaceFolder(window.activeTextEditor.document.uri)

should be used as the _workspacePath at https://github.com/jakob101/RelativePath/blob/master/src/extension.ts#L180

Am I in the right track? I have never worked on a vscode extension, and will be happy to PR if you can direct me to the right path

That’s correct! You’d make me very happy if you could propose a pr :)

Creating an extension is pretty easy - open vscode with the cloned repo and press F5. It will open a new VSCode window where you run the extension. The old one has the debugger.

Let me know if you need more pointers :)

And thanks !!! 👋🙏

great, I got this

There is caching of all the files in the worspace. Since this cache is done on initialization in the constructor of the extension there are a few problems

1. the same list of files are displayed everytime, the list depends on the project the command extension.relativePath is executed the first time
2. if I open the command extension.relativePath the first time from the welcome tab and not a real file in a workspace, I would get an error

        const editor = window.activeTextEditor;
        const resource = editor.document.uri;
        const folder = workspace.getWorkspaceFolder(resource)

since window.activeTextEditor will be undefined in the welcome page

I think I can solve the first problem by adding a window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor

and comparing the prior workspace folder and the current workspace folder

if they are different do a this.updateFiles(false) else do nothing.

        window.onDidChangeActiveTextEditor((e: TextEditor) => {
            console.log("onDidChangeActiveTextEditor", e)
            const currentWorkspacePath = this.getWorkspaceFolder();
            if (this._workspacePath !== currentWorkspacePath) {
                this._workspacePath = currentWorkspacePath;
                this.updateFiles(false);
            }
        })

But for the second problem I am not sure what I can do. may be a helpful message to say that window.activeTextEditor is not there so execute the same command from a valid file,

If we go with the above info message display approach, then we can also use the same when you open up the command from a folder which is not a workspace folder also

I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Also unrelated, I had to upgrade to latest dependencies and typescript config like

https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/master/basic-multi-root-sample/package.json https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/master/basic-multi-root-sample/tsconfig.json

as described in https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_6#_extension-authoring
