fix: workspace in project subfolder breaks Open active file on GitLab

Grant Heaslip requested to merge GrantASL19/gitlab-vscode-extension:activeFilePathPrefix-config into main

This adds a new GitService.getGitRoot() method, which is used in openers.js’s getActiveFile to generate correct file URLs when the workspace root is below the git root.

Background

We frequently have repositories with with e.g. /src/backend and /src/web. Web developers open /src/web in VS Code, but after doing so the aforementioned “active file” commands generate incorrect URLs like this:

https://gitlab.notofilter.com/group/project/blob/develop/src/components/Component.tsx#L22

Whereas they should be generating URLs like this (prefixed with src/web/):

https://gitlab.notofilter.com/group/project/blob/develop/src/web/src/components/Component.tsx#L22
