Use project name in Compose commands in the Container panel

[petergloor]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Whenever I start a project using Docker: compose up from the command palette (ctrl+shift+P) it starts a project using the name of the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file. The name of this project appears in the Containers panel. A right mouse click provides the commands Compose Logs, Compose Restart and Compose Down. So far this works fine.

However, in case I start docker compose -p <project name> up using an alternative project name from a Terminal window, the project name will be the one provided with the -p parameter and not the projects directory name.

In this case the Compose commands in the Containers panel will fail, because the parameter -p with the right project name is missing in the docker-compose command executed under the hood.

Note: of course it's always possible to execute the commands from a terminal window, but especially when using remote contexts it would be nice if the commands would be available.

Using Inspect on the containers, the project name can be found in the Config/Labels section:

{
"Config": {
    "Labels": {
        "com.docker.compose.project": "<project-name>",
    }
}

Related to (but not the same as) #2633

Should be straightforward to fix, as @petergloor points out the project name is available from the label com.docker.compose.project and can be applied unconditionally (i.e. using -p <the name> works even in the "normal" case where the project is started without -p <name>).

Love it, thanks @petergloor!!!

This fix is now released with Docker extension version 1.12.0.
