Description

Describe the bug

When calling searchOrOpenApiDescription command passing the OpenAPI description path, Kiota is ignoring it and opening the search/select action.

Expected behavior

When one is integrating with Kiota VS Code extension using commands and wants to call searchOrOpenApiDescription from an existing OpenAPI description, Kiota must respect the OpenAPI description path and open the API Explorer with the given API rather than asking the user to search/select again.

Impact

This is impacting API Center integration when one tries to generate a client for an specific API in API Center VS Code extension

Contributor guide
