Fix filesystem provider
alexweininger opened this issue · 0 comments
The Azure Storage extension contributes filesystem providers for Blob Containers and File Shares. These let VS Code display files from these resources in the VS Code explorer as if they were local files. The Azure Resources v0.6.0 release (V2) broke the current filesystem provider implementations, and they need to be rewritten.
Current implementation
Current implementation src: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurestorage/blob/main/src/AzureStorageFS.ts
Features the current filesystem implementation supports:
- Opening Blob/File share in VS Code via "Open in Explorer..." command
- Exploring File/File share contents in the Azure Resources tree view (still works but is very slow)
- Exploring File/File share contents in the Azure Workspace tree view for attached or emulated storage accounts (still works)
The current implementation is based upon using findTreeItem to retrieve a tree item for a given Uri. Changes in v2 have made this very slow and creates a lot of requests to the Azure API.
Proposed implementation
The new implementation should not rely on findTreeItem and instead should directly interact with the Storage SDKs. It should support the same features as the current implementation.
I have a PoC branch here: main...alex/fix-fs
