Fix env.files not populated when right-clicking folders in VS Code

[Copilot]

Problem

When right-clicking on a folder in VS Code Explorer and selecting "Run GenAIScript", the env.files variable was not populated with the files from the folder. This broke scripts that rely on glob filters or expect to process files from the selected folder.

The issue occurred because the current implementation only passed the folder URI itself to the backend, not the actual files within the folder.

Root Cause

In the scriptRun function in packages/vscode/src/fragmentcommands.ts:

1. When right-clicking on a folder, fileOrFolder contains the folder URI
2. extraArgs is not an array, so fileOrFolders becomes undefined
3. Line 85: files = fileOrFolders?.map((f) => f.toString()) || [fileOrFolder?.toString()];
4. This resulted in files = [folderUriString] - just the folder path, not the files inside it
5. The backend received only the folder path and couldn't populate env.files with actual files

Solution

Modified the scriptRun function to:

1. Detect directories: Use checkDirectoryExists() to identify when the selected item is a directory
2. Expand directories: Use listFiles() to recursively find all files within selected directories
3. Handle mixed selections: Support both files and folders in multi-selections
4. Preserve compatibility: Maintain existing behavior for file selections and command palette usage

Implementation Details

• Added imports for checkDirectoryExists and listFiles from the existing ./fs module
• Enhanced the file handling logic to check if each selected URI is a directory
• If directory, expand it recursively to include all contained files
• Convert all URIs to strings for backend consumption
• Respect .gitignore rules (handled automatically by VS Code's findFiles)

Test Case Validation

The fix handles these scenarios correctly:

1. Single folder selection: Right-click folder → all files in folder (including nested) are added to env.files
2. Mixed selection: Select files + folders → files included as-is, folders expanded to their contents
3. Existing behavior: File selections and command palette usage work unchanged

Example: Right-clicking on a folder with structure:

my-folder/
├── file1.md
├── file2.ts
└── subfolder/
    └── nested.md

Now properly populates env.files with ["my-folder/file1.md", "my-folder/file2.ts", "my-folder/subfolder/nested.md"] instead of just ["my-folder"].

This enables scripts using def("FILES", env.files, { endsWith: ".md" }) to work correctly when selecting folders.

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
