Add multiple relative workspaces

[Andriiklymiuk]

Hi,

i really love thunder-client, it is making dev process much more enjoyable.
Thanks for the work you've done!

One feature will be nice to have: multiple workspace relative path of thunder-tests.

Current functionality

mainProjectFolder
   settings.json
   microserviceA
      thunder-tests
   microserviceB
      thunder-tests
   microserviceC
      thunder-tests

Currently, if you want to import collections from microserviceA to mainProjectFolder, you can add in settings.json workspace relative path and the collections from microserviceA will be shown in the main workspace thunder-client tab.

{
  "thunder-client.workspaceRelativePath": "./microserviceA",
}

Problem

This is working fine, but if you want to import thunder-client from microserviceB and microserviceC there is no automatic way (at least from what I found) to import collections from multiple sub-folders. You can import them manually, after exporting each time from each sub-folder, but it is less convenient and time consuming on every change.

Suggestion

You can add smth like .workspaceRelativeMultiplePath to settings.json, so that thunder-client can support multiple collections/environments :

{
  "thunder-client.workspaceRelativeMultiplePath": [
    "microserviceA",
    "microserviceB",
    "microserviceC"
  ]
}

In this way, the following project structure will be handled better and it will even better improve thunder-client experience.

mainProjectFolder
   settings.json
   microserviceA
      thunder-tests
   microserviceB
      thunder-tests
   microserviceC
      thunder-tests

Will be happy to help, if needed!

Thanks @Andriiklymiuk for the feedback, will review it. This can be very complicated use case

is it not possible to have all the tests in mainprojectFolder and link to that from child micro service projects using workspaceRelativePath?

Another user having multiple projects, he is using workspaceRelativePath setting

The issue here is that each microservice doesn't know about mainprojectFolder and is developed in separate repos, but mainprojectFolder is folder/workspace with all cloned microservices. It helps to run everything in one folder to understand if everything is working correctly

hmm, maybe separate folder repo with all thunder-tests will help me, but still will not be ideal.
but thanks anyway)

separate project for tests can also work.

You can use the CustomLocation setting to provide the full path of the project
