TFC Workspace View Filter Command

[jpogran]

Expected User Experience

The TFC Website has two main filters: project and run statuses. Project is straightforward in that it filters by project id. Run statuses have 5 main filters: attention, error, held, and applied. These are 'fast and simple' choices to quickly see the more relevant workspaces.

Proposal

This presents the user with a QuickPick of options to filter the list of workspaces. Wording can be adjusted to exactly like TFC or suited to our extension context.

The Quickpick should list:

• By Project
• Needing Attention
• With Errors
• On Hold
• Applied

The IconPath should match the TFC icon in the website. These have to match the existing VS Code Icon set, so there may need to be some thoughtful choice of similar icons to match.

User should be able to filter by Project AND/OR a run status. For example, all errored workspaces in the AccuTech project. They should not be able to filter on more than one status, for example on errored and applied. This may mean having two quickpicks or adding sufficient information to the single quickpick to explain and having validation inside the quickpick

Inspiration for this came from the Docker extension:

Alternative

The TFC website has a secondary filter with all types of statuses to choose. This allows you to filter on more than one status, whereas the pre-canned filters described above are rigid. We can support this by adding a second quickpick with all of these statuses and allow selecting more than one.
