I am building VS Code extension to support Git Flow. I have a dedicated View Container with TreeView with tree of branches, including features, releases, hotfixes, ...

What I want to do is a right click menu on a viewItem bit with a different list of elements. For instance when I right click on feature I want:

Checkout feature Rebase feature Pull feature Finish feature

Yet Checkout feature only if I right click on features that are not current branch.

I know about when in configuration.menus but I cannot access individual viewItem property there or can I?

Right now, the only way I see is to create a separate view in my view container for each prefix. One for feature, one for releases one for hotfixes. But that is not the way I would like it to be. In my opinion one tree with all branches is easier to use.

Does anyone know how to achieve custom context menus?

CodePudding user response：

The vscode.TreevItem has a property contextValue, assign this a string and use this in the when clause of the menu item

"when": "view == myGitFlow && viewItem == current"

"when": "view == myGitFlow && viewItem != current"
