[feature] Select Workspace from subfolder of project folder #369

Open Mithrandir2k18 opened 3 years ago

Mithrandir2k18 commented 3 years ago

what is needed We develop ROS in Docker containers. So our project structure looks like this:

|
--.devcontainer/
--catkin_ws/
  |
  --build/
  --devel/
  --src/
--data/
  |
  -- test.bag
--test/
--Dockerfile
...

And the ros extention can only automatically start if a catkin_ws is used as root workspace folder. That doesn't work for our project structure though. What is needed is an option to set a subfolder as catkin_ws.

why is it needed To work with docker containers in remote development this is needed, otherwise a needlessly complex multi-workspace setup has to be created and I don't know if that'd even work.

I would also be interested in this feature since I am employing pretty much the same setup.
