Description

Currently there are following issues:

  • path is changed for any change to a workspace, i.e. a new workspace root is added
  • path is patched on the fly

It can lead to data loss. A plugin should be sure that workspace storage path does not change for the same workspace. If a workspace is changed (not its roots) we should rather restart plugins that they load data from proper workspace storage.

We should also investigate how VS Code handle its to align with VS Code extensions' expectations.

Direction de recherche
Investigate how VS Code handles workspace storage paths to align with extensions' expectations. Examine Theia's plugin system code, particularly files related to workspace storage and plugin lifecycle. Look for existing PRs or comments that discuss similar changes. Consider how to ensure the storage path remains stable for a given workspace, possibly by restarting plugins on workspace changes rather than patching paths on the fly.
