Stop nagging user about configuration at startup #54

Closed yozlet closed 3 years ago

yozlet commented 3 years ago

When opening a VSCode project with the LD extension enabled but not configured, the extension displays a "select your desired environment" pop-up. It does this on every startup and it rapidly gets irritating, to the point where users will likely disable or even uninstall the extension.

I suggest:

  1. don't request configuration unless the user deliberately invokes the extension in some way
  2. when that invocation happens, put the configuration request where the user expects the result of the invocation, rather than an easily-missed corner pop-up. For example: if the user is opening the flag treeview, then the configuration request should go in the treeview panel.

This should be resolved with the latest version.
