workspaceFolderBasename variable is not resolving immediately after window load

[geneing]

Issue Type: Bug

In order to avoid multiple remote tmux sessions, I set in settings.json the following
"terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/usr/bin/tmux",
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": [
"new-session",
"-A",
"-s",
"${workspaceFolderBasename}"
],

I expect that workspaceFolderBasename variable contains valid value. However, initally or after window reload this variable is not set. It is only set correctly after I switch source code tabs or open a file.

This is a problem when using remote sessions, because this happens every time I reconnect to the remote session and VSCode tells me to reload window.

Were you able to find a solution for this? I have this in settings.json:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
  "tmux ws-session": {
    "path": "tmux",
    "args": [
      "new-session",
      "-A",
      "-s",
      "vscode-${workspaceFolderBasename}"
    ]
  },
}

and the "osx" version works correctly locally (it's identical), but whenever I use Remote-SSH my tmux session is named vscode-${workspaceFolderBasename}, even after killing all terminal sessions, opening a remote file, and then re-opening tmux.

This is impacting me too, but I was able to come up with this work-around (but it isn't pretty...)

In your remote config, replace the other config with this line (Replace path as appropriate):

{
  "terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/path/to/home/bin/code-tmux"
}

And code-tmux should look like this:

#!/bin/bash
exec tmux new-session -A -s vscode-$(basename $PWD)

Hope it helps for now until config variables work again here.

@zix99 works a treat, nice one!

In my case it is not resolving at all, not even after reload. Tried it on the current vs code and with the insiders edition, running on Mac OS. Tried using it within user setting and within workspace setting, as part of the clangd configuration

When I work with julia extension with tmux persistent mode. It's really weird on start REPL the workspaceFolderBasename resolves correctly while after use for sometime, on trying to stop REPL the workspaceFolderBasename resolves to empty. Don' t know if it' s related. It only started happening in very recent versions.
