What is rootUri in MonacoServices.install() for?

[MassMessage]

From this line:

MonacoServices.install(monaco, {rootUri: "file:///C:\\file\\path"}) Where is this uri used? I couldn't find docs for it nor it's clear looking over at source code

[CGNonofr]

The rootUri is only used to generate a default workspaceFolder if none is provided

Btw the api will probably slightly change in a near future

but where is this default workspaceFolder used? for exe so i would do things like pass relative path in uri here when calling monaco.editor.createModel() and it would be combined with default workspaceFolder, is that right?

hm how is that going to change?

In the lsp initialize request

There is no such things as relative uri/path in vscode/monaco

hm how is that going to change?

The rootPath and the workspaceFolders will be expected as parameters directly

The the lsp initialize request

sorry i misunderstood that previously and still didnt get it, i'm not familiar with lsp's initialize... what is workspaceFolder supposed to be? the project's folder or what?

Yes, a workspaceFolder is a project

where is this used by the lps? is that documented somewhere? if i pass a empty string, what's the behavior for exe?

[CGNonofr]

What is exe?

The language server protocol is pretty well documented
