Feature: SVN status in file explorer

Feature: SVN status in file explorer

agrlh opened this issue 7 years ago · 25 comments

I'd love to see the SVN status indicated with colors/icons in the file explorer similar to the GIT integration in 1.18:

Maybe it's possible to reuse the git code from the official extension: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/tree/master/extensions/git ?

I'd be happy to help out, if you can provide me some pointers on where to start (I'm new to VSCode)

Hi @arppl

This is something that I have wanted to implement. So far I have not found any docs on how to implement this.

I have also looked through the git extension source and can't see anything that stands out.

If you can find any references please let me know.

Answer 2 · 2017-11-21T11:18:49.000Z

It seems to be implemented only inside the git extension. From the Changelogs of 1.18:

There is also a proposed API to allow extension authors to add color decorations to arbitrary resources. We haven't finalized on anything yet but are eager to learn how you would use decorations.

Maybe contact microsoft directly?

Answer 3 · 2017-11-24T11:17:24.000Z

See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/extensions/git/src/decorationProvider.ts to implement

Answer 4 · 2017-11-24T11:57:44.000Z

Ta, I will have a look.

See the link: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_18#_git-status-in-file-explorer

In addition, I'd like to see the revision of a file at least in the SCM view

Answer 7 · 2018-02-01T16:14:19.000Z

@JohnstonCode, you can test my branch?
https://github.com/edgardmessias/svn-scm/tree/status_file_explorer

How to enable:

Open the file: <vscode path>\resources\app\product.json
Find extensionAllowedProposedApi
Append "johnstoncode.svn-scm" in the array

Example:
From

{
	"extensionAllowedProposedApi": [
		"ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare"
	]
}

To:

{
	"extensionAllowedProposedApi": [
		"ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare", "johnstoncode.svn-scm"
	]
}

This trick is to avoid putting "enableProposedApi": true in package.json, allowing to publish in marketplace

@edgardmessias

Unversioned doesn't seem to work in the file explorer but does in the SCM view.

Answer 9 · 2018-02-01T16:37:47.000Z

@JohnstonCode, fixed

Answer 10 · 2018-02-01T16:44:19.000Z

Yeah looks good and works

Answer 11 · 2018-02-01T16:50:47.000Z

More suggestion?
Should we release a version?

Answer 12 · 2018-02-01T16:52:56.000Z

If you create a PR I will merge it and release it. Get some real-world feedback that way

Answer 13 · 2018-02-01T16:54:27.000Z

Okay, I'll do some documentation first.

Answer 14 · 2018-05-17T09:42:40.000Z

Has this been resolved? I am using svn in combination with VS Code 1.21.1 and cannot get the color-coding work in Windows or macOS.

Answer 15 · 2018-05-17T09:48:38.000Z

This uses the ProposedApi once VS code releases it fully it should work.

Answer 16 · 2018-05-17T10:52:59.000Z

@derwaldgeist, see this SVN Status in File Explorer

Answer 17 · 2018-05-18T07:40:41.000Z

@edgardmessias Oh, cool, thanks. A typical variant of RTFM, I guess :-)

Answer 18 · 2019-06-17T11:20:25.000Z

It only works if we open a folder which is a SVN repository (or its subfolder).
If I open a superfolder it does not work.

Answer 19 · 2019-06-27T11:36:56.000Z

It works only partially for me, having opened an svn-controlled folder also containing two svn externals.
Added files in the externals have an A and are colorized (green); their parent directories are also green.

However, modified files, while flagged with an M, are only briefly colorized orange, before being overwritten by a darkish grey color.

@Zastai, please, open a new issue

Answer 21 · 2019-10-04T12:17:20.000Z

It would be nice to put this also in the documentation, where to find product.json:
/usr/share/code/resources/app/product.json

I was looking for a long time. I think this is the default location.

Answer 22 · 2019-10-10T14:10:18.000Z

Thank you @Remzi1993 !!! Fully agree with your suggestion

Answer 23 · 2022-04-27T17:26:22.000Z

Hey guys, I'm trying to get this feature to work, but I had not succeed.
Now the product.json file has this entry

{
    "extensionEnabledApiProposals": {
        "ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare": ["contribMenuBarHome", "diffCommand", "documentFiltersExclusive", "fileSearchProvider", "findTextInFiles", "notebookCellExecutionState", "notebookContentProvider", "notebookDocumentEvents", "notebookEditor", "notebookEditorEdit", "notebookLiveShare", "terminalDimensions", "terminalDataWriteEvent", "textDocumentNotebook", "textSearchProvider"]
    }
}

I tried to add

        "johnstoncode.svn-scm": [],

next to the "ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare" entry but didn't notice any difference in file explorer or source control panels.

Any help is appreciated 😀

Answer 24 · 2022-04-27T17:31:12.000Z

@allanforever , this option was removed a long time a go:
7fb3966

This option only exists for versions <2

Answer 25 · 2022-04-27T17:41:59.000Z

@edgardmessias : is there any other way to (highlight/mark down/put emblem/check) changed files in the Explorer panel?
I can see the list of changed files in Source Control panel, but I would love to see something (even an *) beside the filename in the Explorer panel.
Thanks a lot!
