I am desperately trying to debug a Java Tomcat application, run in a local network of an enterprise, using VS Code, and am using a Tomcat extension to do the job:
- The Tomcat extension saves a temporary copy of the Tomcat server and a web application in the workspace folder of VS Code:
\\networkDriveAddress...\...\name.home\Redirected_Profile\AppData\Code\User\workspaceStorage\ProjectId\adashen.vscode-tomcat\tomcat\apache-tomcat-7.0.4DEVELOPMENT\webapps\myWebAppName\...
It seems Tomcat or Windows refuses to process this because the path to the java classes [below] is too long and I assume this because:
...\myWebAppName\WEB-INF\classes\myPackage\mySubPackage\mySubSubPackage\myClass.class- It works if I deploy a webapp with a small class tree [shorter paths]
- It works if I delete the folder with classes from
myWebAppName, leaving onlyindex.html - If I try to copy around
...\classes\..., Windows refuses to copy because the path is too long
How can I change the default workspaceStorage for VS Code:
- From:
\\networkDriveAddress\...\...\User\ - To:
E:\wspace\

How can I change the default workspaceStorage for VS Code:
- From: \networkDriveAddress......\User\
- To: E:\wspace\
You should be able to use code --user-data-dir E:\wspace\, however, that will change the directory for all user data. workspaceStorage is just one storage element that Visual Studio code uses.
