create a workspace last folder variable

[fr43nk]

Hi, I'm using workspaces a lot. There I have a bunch of paths configured to be part of that workspace. Those paths have one base folder in common. My request now is, to have a variable which contains the folder name after the base folder. Like so:

"folders": [
        {
            "path": "d:\\dev_01\\common"
        },
        {
            "path": "d:\\dev_01\\technical"
        },
    ]

For this example, a variable that just returns common or technical depending on the path of the open file.

Best regards, Frank

@fr43nk Isn't this the variable ${workspaceFolderBasename}

Hi,

sadly it is not the right one. This is the first folder of my workspace path entries common in this example and not technical. Although the called filed is located in the last mentioned one.

@fr43nk v1.38.0 has 2 new commands

• extension.commandvariable.workspace.folderBasename: basename of workspace root of current file
• extension.commandvariable.workspace.folder: workspace root of current file
