Show Git Branch with Remote Tools

[sfc-gh-sgiesecke]

For local folders, the extension works fine as expected. However, for remote folders (via Remote-SSH in my case), it doesn't show the branch information. I guess this needs to be handled explicitly. Would it be possible to extend the extension to support that as well?

Same here

When a project is opened from Remote-SSH, no workspace information available through vscode api.

  console.log("remoteName: " + JSON.stringify(vscode.env.remoteName));
  console.log("workspaceFolders: " + JSON.stringify(vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders));

It prints this output:

remoteName: "ssh-remote"
workspaceFolders: undefined

I went through the vscode api, but didn’t find anything related to the Remote workspaces.

Then, I thought to check the source code of the Remote-SSH extension, so we should be able to know how it works. But the Remote-SSH extension is closed source.

Will need to think and investigate more about a possible way to obtain the remote workspace info.

@jiakuan Hmm, did you try asking here? If it is not possible, then there should be a feature request at least.

[jiakuan]

No I haven't asked there yet. Given the closed source nature, I doubt if there will be a quick resolution in the near future.

However, it still seems a good idea to try asking in their issue list.

Can you try a local build of #23 to see if it is resolved there as well?

[vyshane]

We have just released v0.2.0. Can you please check if the issue is resolved?

It mostly works, but I ran into a bug. I was trying out the settings a bit ("Branch Template" and "Branch Name is Prefix") and noticed that after I changed the setting, it would start repeating injected the portion.

I tried a few different settings and used Developer: Reload Window to apply, and now I have:

[develop] - [develop foo] myfile.txt - my_workspace_name (Workspace) [SSH: my_hostname] - [develop]

This bug only seems to have when changing a setting and then reloading the window. If I reload again, it doesn't get better or worse. So I guess just closing VS Code and restarting it should fix it as long as I don't touch those extension settings anymore.

[koenlek]

Restarting VS Code doesn't fix it. I still have my branch name tripled in my title.

[AnrDaemon]

Please edit your workspace title and remove any references to the branch name, then reload window. Since VS Code does not offer an API to manipulate window title in a fool-proof way, the extension relies on a hack to make it work.

Seems like that works. Thanks!
