If the selected folder (from recents) doesn't exist, extension says workspace doesn't exist

This error is a bit confusing, I think it should say folder does not exist (since workspace is up and running):

How do you reproduce this? Guessing this simply shows the error message from the API but would have to dig in

I think this would reproduce it:

  • In workspace: mkdir ~/deleted
  • In VSCode, open workspace, select File -> Open folder -> ~/deleted
  • Close VSCode
  • In workspace: rm -rf ~/deleted
  • Connect via VSCode again, select the /home/coder/deleted path (if this is the only recent folder, you won't even be given an option to choose the path)

Ahh, interesting

Nice! I guess we could look at the error and then check if the folder doesn't exist before assuming the Workspace doesn't exist, right?

closing because of age. Please reopen or file a new issue if the issue still exists.
