Vscode-project-manager: Status bar does not appear

[saquibmian]

The status bar does not appear for me. I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong.

My config is as such:

    "projectManager.git.baseFolders": [
        "$home/workspace/go/src",
        "$home/dev"
    ],
    "projectManager.showProjectNameInStatusBar": true,

This is what I see when I'm in one of my projects:

Hi @saquibmian ,

The status bar feature was originally created to appear only for the Favorite Projects, which are those that you manually Save, not for the _auto-detected_ VSCode, Git and SVN.

But that's a good idea to be visible for these other projects, so I will take a look how to accomplish this.

Thanks for your suggestion.

@alefragnani I just converted all project settings to favorites just to enable this feature, but it's not working even for that.

[alefragnani]

@serkanyersen which OS are you using? Could you share a piece of your projects.json file?

[serkanyersen]

I'm using it on mac os x.

My projects.json looked like this.

[
    {
        "rootPath": "$home/src/design-kit/",
        "name": "Design Kit",
        "group": "Company"
    },
    {
        "rootPath": "$home/src/express-app/",
        "name": "Express App",
        "group": "Company"
    }
]

this of course is a shortened version

+1 for having displayed to projectname in the statusbar for auto detected projects. Looking for this function.

Great plugin. Thanks

🏃

To make things easier, it will work only if projectManager.cacheProjectsBetweenSessions is true, because doing so, I don't have to _detect repos_ while opening/loading a project.

Stay tuned for an update this weekend

Thanks for the update. So far I regret reporting that it still isn't working on my side here...

   "projectManager.vscode.baseFolders": [
        "c:\\git\\Repos"
    ],
    "projectManager.vscode.ignoredFolders": [
        "node_modules",
        "out",
        "typings",
        "tests"
    ],
    "projectManager.vscode.maxDepthRecursion": 1,
    "projectManager.showProjectNameInStatusBar": true,
    "projectManager.cacheProjectsBetweenSessions": true,
    "projectManager.openInNewWindowWhenClickingInStatusBar": true,

even re-installed plugin. No luck :(

Hi @EvtK ,

That's not good 😢 . Could you check if there is some message in Developer Tools - Console?

[EvtK]

@alefragnani nope, just checked. I even switched of git blame plugin because it also makes use of the bar, but no effect.

@alefragnani I have the same problem where I have cacheProjectsBetweenSessions is true (it is the default now), but I do not see the Status bar entry. I have seen this for at least the last few releases of VS Code (say 1.22 and greater).
