VSCode: How do I find what my workspace folder is

Question

Is there a simple command that will tell me what my workspace folder is? I tried ${workspaceFolder} in the terminal but that didn\'t work.

Answer 1

Alternatives that currently come to my mind:

1.) If you want to see the workspace folder in the titlebar, you could adjust window.title setting (workspace or user settings):

"window.title": "${dirty}${activeEditorShort}${separator}${folderPath}${separator}${appName}"

Multiple variables can be used here - see Defaults -> window.title. ${folderPath} works best for me, if you prefer the absolute workspace path.

2.) Define a task that can print your workspace folder at the terminal:

    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "echo",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "echo ${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]

3.) File -> save as workspace should actually show the current workspace folder (seems to be not consistent with Windows/Mac though)

4.) Just open the terminal and look at your cwd. I am not sure, if all terminals default to the workspace folder.
