Multi-root support (Multiple Django projects, same VSCode window)

[txels]

I have a setup where I use a VSCode workspace because I manage various django and frontend "microservices" from one IDE session. In this situation the kolo extension doesn't work. Apparently it doesn't "recognise a django project"...?

If I open my django project by itself in a separate IDE window then kolo kicks off. But having to deal wih multiple IDE windows is not a convenient setup for me.

We already talked about this on Slack, but posting here for future readers 👀

I just released 1.0.3 of the VSCode extension, which now lets you specify a projectName as part of the Kolo VSCode settings:

This doesn't yet add support for multiple django projects in the same VSCode window, but it does make it possible to select one of the django projects and have it show up in Kolo, even if the django project isn't at the root of the opened vscode workspace.

It would be cool to natively support multiple django projects showing up with Kolo in the same VSCode window/workspace. VScode calls this "multi workspace root support" (as far as I'm aware), so I'm going to take the liberty to rename this issue to that. There are some additional complexities with multi-root support, so it might take a while to get around to this and implement it, but looking forward to eventually making that happen too!
