Feature request: Rails project in a subfolder

[Wylan]

Hi!

This maybe a strange feature request so I'd understand if it's out of scope. At work we use a mono repo with all our services within it. I usually open this main folder in Nova so that I can easily switch from frontend to backend work depending on what I'm working on.

Unfortunately the plugin doesn't detect this as a rails project since the rails project is in a subfolder instead of at the root of the workspace.

Is there any possibility of adding a per workspace setting for specifying the location of a rails project within that workspace?

Thanks!

I have the same request. The root of a Rails application is not the root of the broader project I load into Nova.

According to the extension.json file I expected that any file with a .rb extension in the root of the workspace should have activated the extension, but that's not what happens.

  "activationEvents": [
    "onLanguage:html+erb",
    "onLanguage:ruby",
    "onWorkspaceContains:*.rb",
    "onWorkspaceContains:*.erb"
  ],

My Workspace file list:

/nwWebArt
/nwWebDocs
/nwWebSrc <--- this is the rails app
rails.rb  <--- my attempt to activate the extension
README.md

I even tried editing the extension.json file to include "onWorkspaceContains:nwWebSrc/bin/rails" just to define something explicit (and I disabled/enabled, and quit Nova to try to force a reload).

Any thoughts of how to fix/hack this?
