Open Objects in Multi-Root Workspace with Non-AL Folders #52

Closed marknitek closed 4 years ago

marknitek commented 4 years ago

If you have a multi-root workspace with a non AL-Folder as the first folder (for example a docs folder with markdown files), the feature to open/navigate to the al object/file does not work, because it tries to create the dummy .al file in the first folder.

Workaround: re-order the workspace folders to have an AL-Folder at the top => Doable but i would like to keep the docs at the top

Solution: Detect the first AL-Folder by checking if an app.json file is in the root of that folder and use the first one that meets that criteria.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the feedback! Makes sense, AL extenion's navigation only works if an AL project is the active workfolder.

I'll apply your suggestion as a short term fix. However, I'm looking into this in depth as I'm not satisfied with the current navigation experience in regards to symbols.

See #53. Opening.al has been replaced with a custom navigation logic.
