UI: Support truncated paths in devfile input
MR: Pending
Description
!144376 (merged) introduced the ability to specify a custom path for the devfile used to create a workspace (Your work > Workspaces > Create Workspace). This uses the form input group from Pajamas and behaves as expected for shorter paths. More info: !144376 (comment 1782383791)
The problem:
Longer paths result in awkward line length and wrapping.
Proposed solution:
Truncate longer paths and provide a tooltip on hover that displays the full path. Mimicking the truncated breadcrumbs pattern and limiting to three seems like a reasonable compromise but we could also go shorter.
Examples:
| Description | Screenshot |
|---|---|
| Long path | ![]() |
| Truncated breadcrumb example | ![]() |
| Truncated path example | ![]() |
Open Questions
- How much of the path should be shown? Is just showing the last part sufficient as suggested in !144376 (comment 1782383791).
Acceptance Criteria
TODO: Fill out (required)
-
Devfile input is able to handle long paths without awkward wrapping -
Gather feedback that the new truncated/shortened path contains enough context to still be useful
