Default Value in filepicker

gistambo · May 10, 2024, 10:24pm

Greetings,
Is it possible to populate a default working directory in the textbox, something like /home/$USER/Desktop, under working_dir in the VSCode form?

github.com

OSC/bc_osc_codeserver/blob/master/form.yml.erb

<%-
  groups = OodSupport::User.new.groups.sort_by(&:id).tap { |groups|
    groups.unshift(groups.delete(OodSupport::Process.group))
  }.map(&:name).grep(/^P./)
-%>
---
cluster: "pitzer"
form:
  - account
  - bc_num_hours
  - working_dir
  - version
attributes:
  account:
    label: "Project"
    widget: select
    options:
      <%- groups.each do |group| %>
      - "<%= group %>"
    <%- end %>

This file has been truncated. show original

I tried, without success, setting both parameters: value & data-default-directory

Any insight is appreciated.

Sure, you should be able to set the value in the attribute section.

Something like this should work:

attributes:
  path:
    widget: 'path_selector'
    value: <%= CurrentUser.home %>
