Summary

First isolated step of the refactoring in #1595, implemented on a fresh branch from upstream main. Related to #1594 and umbrella tracker #1592; this PR does not close or replace #1595 automatically.

  • Extract workspace resolution, per-path caching, manager construction, enumeration and cleanup into CodeIndexManagerRegistry.
  • Remove the static cache and registry methods from CodeIndexManager, and make its constructor public.
  • Migrate callers and test mocks to the registry.
  • Keep the input path unchanged and resolve it into a separate local constant.
  • Add 11 focused registry tests covering missing/empty workspaces, resolution priority, remote URI preservation, explicit paths, cache reuse/isolation, snapshot enumeration, disposal and recreation.

Scope

No feature/workspace scope extraction, status-manager redesign, scanner/provider/orchestrator changes, or other changes from #1595.

Actual workspace URIs are preserved. For explicit paths outside open workspace folders, standard VS Code file URI construction replaces the old hand-built URI object; canonical serialization may differ for unusual paths.

Validation

  • 902 tests passed across 35 relevant suites.
  • After refining the parameterized missing/empty-workspace case, all 11 registry tests passed again.
  • Extension type checking passed.
  • Changed-file ESLint with suppression pruning passed; suppression counts and the suppression file are unchanged.
  • Prettier and whitespace validation passed.
  • Pre-commit monorepo lint passed.
  • Pre-push monorepo type checking passed.

Local checks ran on macOS with Node 24.7.0; the repository requests Node 22.23.1, so CI remains authoritative. No manual extension-host smoke test was performed.

No changeset or changelog changes. AI-assisted implementation and tests.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Improved code indexing across multiple workspace folders by maintaining separate indexes for each workspace.
    • Improved workspace detection, including active editor context, explicitly selected folders, and remote workspaces.
    • Preserved index reuse and isolation when switching between workspace folders.
    • Improved cleanup and recreation of indexes during extension lifecycle events.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for workspace selection, caching, remote workspaces, disposal, and index recreation.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces CodeIndexManager singleton methods with CodeIndexManagerRegistry, which resolves and caches managers per workspace path. Production callers and tests now use the registry APIs.

Changes

Code index registry migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry and manager lifecycle
src/services/code-index/code-index-manager-registry.ts, src/services/code-index/manager.ts, src/services/code-index/__tests__/*
CodeIndexManagerRegistry resolves workspace folders, caches managers by filesystem path, returns all instances, and disposes them. CodeIndexManager now has a public constructor without singleton methods. Tests cover workspace resolution, caching, URI handling, isolation, and disposal.
Application lookup integration
src/extension.ts, src/activate/registerCommands.ts, src/core/prompts/system.ts, src/core/task/build-tools.ts, src/core/tools/CodebaseSearchTool.ts, src/core/webview/*, src/**/__tests__/*
Extension activation, commands, prompts, tools, and webview code now obtain managers through CodeIndexManagerRegistry. Mocks and spies target the registry APIs.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The registry has a changed explicit-path fallback that lacks a focused negative-case test. CodeIndexManagerRegistry.resolveWorkspaceFolder(workspacePath) uses workspaceFolders.find(...) and getInstance then constructs vscode.Uri.file(resolvedPath) when the explicit path is outside the open folders. The new test at src/services/code-index/__tests__/code-index-manager-registry.spec.ts:85-92 checks this fallback only when workspaceFolders is undefined; it does not check a non-empty workspace list with no matching folder. That scenario is used by callers that pass cwd, and it can regress by incorrectly assigning an open folder URI. The other registry tests cover matching explicit paths, active-editor resolution, missing workspaces, caching, enumeration, and disposal.

Resolution

Add a focused registry unit test with one or more open workspace folders and an explicit path that matches none of them. Assert that vscode.Uri.file(explicitPath) is used and that the new manager receives the explicit path and file URI, not the first workspace folder URI.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description provides a relevant summary, scope, implementation details, and validation results. However, it does not follow the repository template and omits the required approved issue link, structured test procedure, pre-submission checklist, documentation impact, and reviewer contact sections.

Resolution

Update the description to use the repository template. Add an approved issue reference in the Related GitHub Issue section, provide a structured Test Procedure, complete the Pre-Submission Checklist, state the documentation impact, and fill in or explicitly mark the remaining required sections as not applicable.

Use a typed vscode.ExtensionContext for both registry calls.

src/eslint.config.mjs enables @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any as an error, and the repository TypeScript convention forbids new any assertions. Replace both casts with a typed test helper or a correctly typed sharedContext.

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In the VS Code API, the vscode.Uri class represents a resource identifier [1][2]. fsPath: The fsPath property returns the file system path of the URI [2]. For file-based URIs, this is the platform-specific absolute path. For virtual or remote URIs, this property may not represent a local file system path [2]. authority: The authority property of a URI contains the authority component (e.g., host or host:port). In the context of remote development or virtual file systems, the authority is often used to identify the remote machine or the provider responsible for the resource [2]. toString: The toString method returns a string representation of the URI [1][3]. This is commonly used as a unique identifier for resources, such as in the Testing API or when identifying workspace documents [3]. Remote URIs and Workspace Folders: VS Code uses URIs to handle resources across different environments, including remote connections. When working with workspace folders, extensions typically interact with vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders, which provides URIs for the folders in the current workspace [4]. Extensions should use these URIs to manage files and resources, relying on the URI&#39;s scheme and authority to distinguish between local files, remote files, or virtual documents provided by extensions [2]. Extensions are generally advised not to manually alter or parse these URIs beyond using the provided API methods to ensure compatibility with all workspace types [1].

E.g.:`Uri.parse(workspaceRoot)`. <title>File System API | Visual Studio Code Extension API</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/virtual-documents File System API | Visual Studio Code Extension API # Virtual Documents The text document content provider API allows you to create readonly documents in Visual Studio Code from arbitrary sources. You can find a sample extension with source code at: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/main/virtual-document-sample/README.md. ## TextDocumentContentProvider The API works by claiming an uri-scheme for which your provider then returns text contents. The scheme must be provided when registering a provider and cannot change afterwards. The same provider can be used for multiple schemes and multiple providers can be registered for a single scheme. ``` vscode.workspace.registerTextDocumentContentProvider(myScheme, myProvider); ``` Calling `registerTextDocumentContentProvider` returns a disposable with which the registration can be undone. A provider must only implement the `provideTextDocumentContent`-function which is called with an uri and cancellation token. ``` const myProvider = new (class implements vscode.TextDocumentContentProvider { provideTextDocumentContent(uri: vscode.Uri): string { // invoke cowsay, use uri-path as text return cowsay.say({ text: uri.path }); } })(); ``` Note how the provider doesn&`#39`;t create uris for virtual documents - its role is to provide contents given such an uri. In return, content providers are wired into the open document logic so that providers are always considered. This sample uses a &`#39`;cowsay&`#39`;-command that crafts an uri which the editor should then show: ``` vscode.commands.registerCommand(&`#39`;cowsay.say&`#39`;, async () => { let what = await vscode.window.showInputBox({ placeHolder: &`#39`;cow say?&`#39`; }); if (what) { let uri = vscode.Uri.parse(&`#39`;cowsay:&`#39`; + what); let doc = await vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(uri); // calls back into the provider await vscode.window.showTextDocument(doc, { preview: false }); } }); ``` The command prompts for input, creates an uri of the `cowsay`-scheme, opens a document for the uri, and finally opens an editor for that document. In step 3, opening the document, the provider is being asked to provide contents for that uri. With this we have a fully functional text document content provider. The next sections describe how virtual documents can be updated and how UI commands can be registered for virtual documents. ### Update Virtual Documents Depending on the scenario virtual documents might change. To support that, providers can implement a `onDidChange`-event. The `vscode.Event`-type defines the contract for eventing in VS Code. The easiest way to implement an event is `vscode.EventEmitter`, like so: ``` const myProvider = new (class implements vscode.TextDocumentContentProvider { // emitter and its event onDidChangeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<vscode.Uri>(); onDidChange = this.onDidChangeEmitter.event; //... })(); ``` The event emitter has a `fire` method which can be used to notify VS Code when a change has happened in a document. The document which has changed is identified by its uri given as argument to the `fire` method. The provider will then be called again to provide the updated content, assuming the document is still open. That&`#39`;s all what&`#39`;s needed to make VS Code listen for changes of virtual document. To see a more complex example making use of this feature, look at: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/main/contentprovider-sample/README.md. ### Add Editor Commands Editor actions can be added which only interact with documents provided by an associated content provider. This is a sample command that reverses what the cow just said: ``` // register a command that updates the current cowsay subscriptions.push( vscode.commands.registerCommand(&`#39`;cowsay.backwards&`#39`;, async () => { if (!vscode.window.activeTextEditor) { return; // no editor } let { document } = vscode.window.activeTextEditor; if (document.uri.scheme !== myScheme) { return; // not my sch…[truncated] <title>Testing API</title> https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/testing // In this function, we&`#39`;ll get the file TestItem if we&`#39`;ve already found it, // otherwise we&`#39`;ll create it with `canResolveChildren = true` to indicate it // can be passed to the `controller.resolveHandler` to gets its children. function getOrCreateFile(uri: vscode.Uri) { const existing = controller.items.get(uri.toString()); if (existing) { return existing; } const file = controller.createTestItem(uri.toString(), uri.path.split(&`#39`;/&`#39`;).pop()!, uri); file.canResolveChildren = true; return file; } ... function parseTestsInDocument(e: vscode.TextDocument) { if (e.uri.scheme === &`#39`;file&`#39`; && e.uri.path.endsWith(&`#39`;.md&`#39`;)) { parseTestsInFileContents(getOrCreateFile(e.uri), e.getText()); } } ... async function parseTestsInFileContents(file: vscode.TestItem, contents?: string) { // If a document is open, VS Code already knows its contents.

Preserve the full workspace URI through registry lookup.

extension.ts passes folder.uri.fsPath, and resolveWorkspaceFolder() selects the first folder with that path. Two remote folders with the same fsPath but different authorities can therefore share one CodeIndexManager. Pass the full vscode.Uri to the registry, key instances by folderUri.toString(true), and continue passing folderUri.fsPath to CodeIndexManager. Add a regression test with equal paths and different authorities.

the registry lookup around resolveWorkspaceFolder() to accept and preserve the
full vscode.Uri, key instances by folderUri.toString(true), and continue passing
folderUri.fsPath to CodeIndexManager. Update extension.ts callers accordingly
and add a regression test proving equal fsPath values with different authorities
create distinct managers.
