Path for lime.projectFile in multi-root projects

[47rooks]

Currently lime.projectFile on Windows, at any rate, requires an absolute path when specified in a multi-root workspace *.code-workspace file. It would be great if this could be made a path relative to the location of the *.code-workspace file. That way you could version control this file:

• in a portable way
• without exposing directory structure on your system outside the repo clone

ok - the projectFile path is relative. The problem is that the lime extension spawns the run task in the lower level directory - the directory that contains the project.xml. So if you have this sort of structure:

composites
    examples
    tests
    composites.code-workspace

if you set lime.projectFile to "..\examples\Project.xml" then the plugin will correctly build.

So is that good enough, or is there still some change you want to see?

Actually not sure. It is a bit counter-intuitive to have to set this this way. It would make more sense for it to be relative to the code-workspace file location. Obviously this can be used - I am still playing with it and it's not broken yet. I guess it depends a bit on what the plot is for the lime-extension to support multi-root workspaces.

The main thing right now though is being able to switch to different Project.xml files in this structure. But that's really a different issue. I'll file one on that separately I guess because at the moment I have to manually edit the code-wrokspaces to be able to switch between tests and examples which both have Project.xmls.

Unfortunately, we can't support multi-root workspaces until the Haxe extension does first. At least not without providing our own custom Haxe code intelligence.
