Want links to repo from recent agent sessions in empty workspace

Open bamurtaugh opened this issue 3 weeks ago • 2 comments

Ref https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-internalbacklog/issues/6388

  • Empty VS Code workspace, no folders or files
  • Open chat sidebar
  • ✅ See agent sessions from all my workspaces, which I'd expect in any empty workspace
    • Image
  • ✅ I can click on changed files and see the multi diff editor
  • ❓ I can't fully interact with their resulting artifacts, even though I'm presented options to do so
    • See more from PR card doesn't do anything
      • Image
    • The apply and checkout options don't do anything
      • Image

It'd be nice to guide users to open that workspace and then interact with its artifacts if users press these buttons (or, we could just entirely hide these buttons if a user doesn't have the workspace open).

I also think it'd be nice to have some sort of visual indicator / broad link to which workspace these sessions apply to.

Similar issue, but that applies when I do have the actual correct repo or workspace open: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/281362.

Observed again in testing today - I think in the near term in empty workspaces, it'd be great to hide the buttons or provide an error/warning message when clicking them (See more from PR card, apply changes, checkout PR) - otherwise it feels like the links are broken, as they just no-op. And in the longer term, we could consider if we could guide users to actually open the right repo.
