# Manual smoke — F8 out-of-workspace authoring
|
|
|
|
Confirms "Ask Claude to Edit Selection" (+ threads / attribution) work on a file
|
|
**outside** the workspace folder and on an **untitled** buffer, while in-workspace
|
|
authoring is unchanged. One live turn hits the SDK (the only LLM step).
|
|
|
|
Spec: `vscode-cowriting-plugin-content/specs/coauthoring-out-of-workspace.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Prereqs
|
|
- Build: `npm run build`.
|
|
- Launch the Extension Development Host (F5 in VS Code) with this repo's `sandbox/`
|
|
opened as the workspace folder.
|
|
|
|
## A. Out-of-folder file (PUC-1)
|
|
1. Open a markdown file from a DIFFERENT directory (outside `sandbox/`) — e.g. a
|
|
sibling repo, or `File > Open` a scratch file under `/tmp`.
|
|
2. Select a sentence → Command Palette → **Cowriting: Ask Claude to Edit Selection**
|
|
→ type an instruction → wait for the proposal (amber range + ✓/✗).
|
|
3. Accept (✓). Expect: the text is replaced and shows the Claude attribution tint.
|
|
4. Add a coauthoring thread on a selection (**Add Coauthoring Thread on Selection**).
|
|
5. Close and reopen the file (or revert). Expect: the thread + attribution are
|
|
restored. There is **no** `.threads/` folder beside the file — its state lives
|
|
in VS Code global storage (`<globalStorage>/sidecars/<hash>.json`).
|
|
|
|
## B. Untitled buffer (PUC-2)
|
|
1. `File > New File` (don't save) → type a few sentences.
|
|
2. Select → **Ask Claude to Edit Selection** → instruct → accept. Expect: it works
|
|
exactly like A, in-session.
|
|
3. Reload the window (Developer: Reload Window). Expect: the untitled buffer's
|
|
coauthoring state is **gone** (in-memory only — documented limitation, §6.7).
|
|
|
|
## C. In-workspace unchanged (PUC-3)
|
|
1. Open a file UNDER `sandbox/`. Repeat the propose→accept→thread loop.
|
|
2. Expect: a committable `sandbox/.threads/<path>.json` sidecar is written, exactly
|
|
as before F8 (byte-for-byte, INV-2).
|
|
|
|
## D. Read-only view declines (PUC-5)
|
|
1. Open a Git diff / Output view, select text, run **Ask Claude to Edit Selection**.
|
|
2. Expect: a warning that this kind of document can't be edited (not "select some
|
|
text").
|
|
|
|
## E. Folder-less (optional)
|
|
1. Launch the EDH with **no folder** open. Open an untitled buffer or `File > Open`
|
|
any file. Repeat A/B. Expect: authoring works (every doc routes to global
|
|
storage); the commands are not stubbed.
