Enable Multiselection of compose files for docker-compose commands

[jehof]

When using the command docker-compose through the command palette I would like to select more than one compose file. Is this already supported? If not handle this as a feature request.

I´m using the basic setup from Visual Studio 2017 which uses a normal compose file (docker-compose.yml) and an additional compose file (docker-compose.override.yml).

thanks for the suggestion, can you clarify what you are trying to do? Do you want to compose up multiple compose files at the same time?

With VS Code 1.20.0 we can support this now, see microsoft/vscode#41461 for the API.

@StephenWeatherford - I'd like to recommend this be re-opened. Not sure how to do that, sorry if it's the wrong place to comment.

I've got a docker compose environment generated by Visual Studio, where there are three files:

docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.vs.debug.yml
docker-compose.vs.release.yml

These are, in Visual Studio, managed by a docker-compose.dcproj file that handles debug and release launching.

In Visual Studio Code, I want to sometimes run the debug environment, and sometimes the release environment. At present, I can only do this from the command prompt, I can't use the drop-down, even if I've selected multiple files first before choosing Compose Up.

I'd like to propose that if multiple files are selected, then the least-specific file is applied first, heading on down the specificity (In the above example *.vs.debug is more specific than *, and if all three files were supplied, then because *.vs.debug and *.vs.release were equivalent specificities, it would (if available) use the click-order to order files, or alphabetical.

Hi @LazerFX , given how close this issue is to #223 , I'd appreciate your feedback on a couple of assumptions I noted here. I'd love to hear your input. :-)

I'll drop my comments over in #223 - thanks for the heads up.
