Connection Management is Non-Existant #40

Closed resistorsoftware closed 5 years ago

resistorsoftware commented 5 years ago

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. setup new extension connections

If you setup more than one connection, for example, one to a localhost, and one to an external host, you would think you'd see these connections as a choice to pick from. Instead, when you try and use a connection, nothing happens. No error messages. Just nothing.

Yet another sign this extension is far from prime-time, and is more of a lab experiment.

So after letting things settle and sit around for a day, having done nothing but that, sit around, I picked up with the extension and noticed right off the hop that the connection information written out to settings.json was much more detailed than before. C'est quoi? A mystery but hey, why not.

So I tried that connection with a query and it fired up and worked. I challenged myself by adding a second connection, this time to my localhost and I checked the settings.json. Had the entry as expected. So with 2 connections, I fired up a query request and I was challenged to pick a connection. So that worked!
