Description

The Working Directory field used to store ${workspace_loc:/} as a literal. After a rename it still pointed at the old name.

It now follows CDT: a Use default checkbox shows the project-derived path, leaves the field and browse buttons disabled, and does not persist the value. On rename, CDT updates the project name and the default is computed again.

Existing configs that already stored the project path (or a path that no longer resolves) are treated as default when opened, so the stale attribute is dropped on apply.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a “Use default” option for the working directory. When selected, the directory follows the selected project automatically, and directory editing controls are disabled. Uncheck the option to choose a working directory manually.
    • Existing configurations with an empty or project-based working directory are treated as using the default unless they have a saved preference.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Selecting a different project now refreshes the displayed default working directory.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The serial launch tab adds a “Use default” checkbox for the working directory. When selected, the tab displays the project directory, disables the working-directory controls, and clears the stored working-directory attribute when applying the launch configuration. It also detects default values in legacy configurations.

Adds the USE_DEFAULT_WORKING_DIR configuration key and “Use default” checkbox. The tab derives the project directory for display, disables directory controls when the checkbox is selected, and clears the stored working-directory attribute when applying the configuration. It loads the stored selection or detects legacy default values. Project-name edits refresh the displayed default, and the location and working-directory groups use separate GridData instances.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a25f7

The new "Use default" checkbox works for normal use. However, if a user checks it and then unchecks it, their previous custom working directory is replaced in the field. Clicking Apply then saves the project path instead. The fix is small and worth making before merge, but the impact is limited to this toggle interaction.

project field from the configuration before calling
super.updateWorkingDirectory(configuration), so the project-field listener
cannot overwrite the stored working directory using the previous configuration’s
checkbox state.

working-directory comparison to stale workspace project references: preserve
migration for `${workspace_loc:name}` and `${workspace_loc:/name}` when the
referenced project no longer exists, and return false for other substitution
failures. Add a focused helper near the existing comparison logic to recognize
these forms; leave successful substitution and plain-path comparisons unchanged.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the custom directory when the checkbox is cleared.

If a user selects Use default and then clears it, this assignment has already replaced the custom directory in the field. Apply then saves the derived project path as the custom directory. Preserve the prior custom value for the current configuration and restore it when the user clears the checkbox.
