Summary

Adds support for opening .code-workspace files directly in the VS Code Web module, resolving the issue where workspace files would open briefly then refresh.

Changes

  • New workspace variable: Allows specifying a path to a .code-workspace file
  • Mutual exclusion validation: Prevents using both folder and workspace parameters simultaneously
  • Enhanced URL generation: Properly constructs VS Code web URLs with ?workspace= parameter
  • Updated run.sh script: Passes workspace files as arguments to code-server serve-local
  • Documentation: Added example usage in README
  • Version bump: Updated to 1.3.2

Usage

module "vscode-web" {
  agent_id       = coder_agent.example.id
  workspace      = "/home/coder/project.code-workspace"
  accept_license = true
}

Technical Details

This implementation leverages VS Code web's native ?workspace= URL parameter support, which properly handles .code-workspace files without the refresh/redirect issues seen with direct file opening attempts.

Testing

  • Terraform formatting applied
  • Lifecycle preconditions validate mutual exclusion
  • Backward compatibility maintained for existing folder parameter
  • Documentation updated with examples

- Add 'workspace' variable to open .code-workspace files
- Add mutual exclusion validation between 'folder' and 'workspace'
- Update run.sh to handle workspace files as arguments to code-server
- Update README with workspace file example
- Bump version to 1.3.2

Fixes workspace file refresh issue by using proper VS Code web URL parameters.

…ble error

Fixes test failures by ensuring WORKSPACE_ARG is defined within the function
scope rather than as a global template variable.
Use 14899 to escape shell variables so they're not treated as Terraform
template variables by the templatefile() function.
- Add WORKSPACE_ARG template variable to main.tf using coalesce()
- Remove conditional logic from run.sh since precondition ensures only one is set
- Much cleaner approach that leverages Terraform's template system properly
