Currently we are working on Java resource operation.

@dbaeumer We definitely need this for java language server implementation. Would be great if this can b implemented in short period. Thanks.

the workaround is to create a file inside the desired folder and then delete the file again. all within one workspace edit. that will leave you with the folder.

For the workaround, on my windows' desktop, I always disabled recycle bin support. So the work around will pop up with text Failed to move 'fakeFile' to the recycle bin
This workaround is kind of issue if customer doesn't support recycle bin or have to enable options files.enableTrash: false

It looks like the LSP now support this. Is there still work to be done on the VS code side?

[dbaeumer]

The LSP has no explict create folder right now either.

For the sake of completion, is it possible to support the following in the LSP WorkspaceEdit API (+ VS Code):

• CreateFile can contain contents: string like in the VS Code implementation
• Introduce CreateFolder to ResourceChanges with the options: { overwrite: boolean, ignoreIfExists: boolean}
• Introduce CopyFile to ResourceChanges
  • This would be the same as RenameFile with options { overwrite: boolean, ignoreIfExists: boolean} but without deleting the source
