Research direction

Start by reproducing the LSP URI converter cases described for the vscode-test-web workspace URI vscode-test-web://mount/. Trace both code-to-protocol and protocol-to-code conversions, then verify that workspace paths retain the separator and URLs remain normalized for the examples in the issue.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

When running an extension using the vscode-test-web tool, the default workspace is mounted under vscode-test-web://mount/. This trailing / causes issues with the LSP URI converter.

For example:

  • The code-to-protocol maps vscode-test-web://mount/a/file.txt to file:///workspacea/file.txt (rather than file:///workspace/a/file.txt).
  • The protocol-to-code converter maps file:///workspace/a/file.txt to vscode-test-web://mount//a/file.txt (this isn't as serious, though does mean the URL is no longer normalised).
