How to handle windows with multiple root folders?

[tomv564]

The LSP package currently handles windows with multiple folders by finding a common prefix.

As discovered in #24, a common usage with Sublime workspaces is to link in whole trees of projects, perhaps even from multiple drives (e.g. C:\Users\Tom\Projects and D:\Work\)

For this scenario, it is increasingly unlikely that we can find a common prefix to give the language server as rootUri.

Looking at the language server protocol, the workspace concept (of which there is only one in a language server process) offers these actions:

workspace/symbols (would you really want to execute this across both drives ?) workspace/didChangeConfiguration (configuration is likely to be project-specific, if anything)

An improvement would be to create an LSP instance per window.folders().

Users who choose to mount the parent folder of multiple projects will have to accept that:

• workspace symbol listing is for projects
• The LSP package will not be able to help with per-project configuration.

And it should also handle the case with no folders, i.e. when editing signal files.

This has been solved by #81 (only use first folder) and #126 (support single files)

Thanks, pointed it to issue #81 instead!
