ABAP FS Workspaces

Manage Remote ABAP connections as reusable VS Code workspaces.

This extension reads your configured abapfs.remote connections, generates one .code-workspace file per connection, and gives you a dedicated view to open, refresh, and maintain those workspaces.

Features

• Shows all detected ABAP Remote FS connections in a dedicated Activity Bar view.
• Generates a standalone .code-workspace file for each connection.
• Opens a connection workspace in the current window or a new window.
• Lets you define a custom workspace file name per connection.
• Supports shared local folders included in every generated workspace.
• Supports connection-specific local folders added only to selected workspaces.
• Lets you open and edit an already generated workspace file directly.
• Detects the ABAP Remote FS connection manager command and links to it when available.
• Validates paths, duplicate workspace names, and Windows-invalid file names before generating files.

How It Works

Each generated workspace includes:

• The remote ABAP connection as an adt://<connection> folder.
• Any global local folders you want in every workspace.
• Any local folders assigned only to that connection.

This makes it easy to keep one VS Code workspace per SAP system or client, while still attaching related local project folders.

Requirements

• VS Code 1.80.0 or newer.
• The ABAP Remote FS extension installed and configured.
• Connections defined in abapfs.remote.

Important limitation:

• Connections must be stored in user settings, not workspace settings, before this extension will generate standalone workspace files for them.

Usage

1. Configure your ABAP connections in abapfs.remote.
2. Open the ABAP FS Workspaces view from the Activity Bar.
3. Run Workspace Manager.
4. Choose a save location for generated .code-workspace files.
5. Optionally add global folders and per-connection folders.
6. Save the configuration to generate workspace files.
7. Open a generated connection workspace from the tree view.

Commands

The extension contributes these commands:

• ABAP FS Workspaces: Workspace Manager
• ABAP FS Workspaces: Open ABAP FS Connection Manager
• ABAP FS Workspaces: Refresh Workspace List
• ABAP FS Workspaces: Open Connection Workspace
• ABAP FS Workspaces: Open Connection Workspace In New Window
• ABAP FS Workspaces: Edit Connection Workspace File

Configuration

The extension stores its settings in abapFsWorkspaces.manager.

{
	"abapFsWorkspaces.manager": {
		"storagePath": "C:\\Workspaces\\ABAP",
		"globalFolders": [
			"C:\\Projects\\shared-tools"
		],
		"connections": {
			"DEV100": {
				"workspaceName": "DEV100",
				"folders": [
					"C:\\Projects\\dev100-local"
				]
			},
			"QAS200": {
				"workspaceName": "QAS200",
				"folders": []
			}
		}
	}
}

Setting Reference

• storagePath: Absolute folder where generated .code-workspace files are written.
• globalFolders: Local folders included in every generated workspace.
• connections.<id>.workspaceName: Optional workspace file name without the .code-workspace extension.
• connections.<id>.folders: Local folders included only for that connection.

Generated Workspace Example

{
	"folders": [
		{
			"name": "DEV100(ABAP)",
			"uri": "adt://dev100"
		},
		{
			"path": "C:\\Projects\\shared-tools"
		},
		{
			"path": "C:\\Projects\\dev100-local"
		}
	]
}

Notes

• Duplicate local folders are automatically removed when a workspace file is generated.
• Workspace file names must be unique across connections.
• Invalid or non-existent folder paths are rejected during validation.
