Pull request overview
This pull request adds comprehensive external prompting support to the Azure Developer CLI (azd), enabling external tools (like VS Code extensions or custom TUIs) to intercept and handle user prompts. While the PR title focuses on a minor UI color change, the actual implementation is a substantial feature addition.
Changes:
- Implemented external prompting infrastructure with environment variable configuration (
AZD_UI_PROMPT_ENDPOINT,AZD_UI_PROMPT_KEY,AZD_UI_NO_PROMPT_DIALOG) - Added NoPromptDialog feature to allow hosts to receive individual prompts with full option lists instead of batched dialog requests
- Created a comprehensive example implementation in the concurX extension with a prompt server and TUI integration
- Updated documentation to explain both Simple Prompt API and Prompt Dialog API with implementation examples
- Added test coverage for environment variable parsing
- Updated border color in concurX prompt UI from blue (color 27) to cyan (color 87)
- Moved
stretchr/testifyfrom indirect to direct dependency in azure.ai.finetune extension (appropriate as it's used in tests) - Updated Go dependency versions (golang.org/x/net, golang.org/x/term)

…al file systems (#6601) * Initial plan * Add defensive checks for undefined fsPath in VS Code extension commands This fixes the issue where provision and other commands would fail with "The 'path' argument must be of type string. Received undefined" when used with virtual file systems or certain VS Code contexts. Changes: - Added validation for selectedFile.fsPath before calling getWorkingFolder - Provides clear error messages that include URI scheme and selectedItem type - Suppresses automatic issue reporting since this is a user error - Applied fix to all affected commands: provision, deploy, up, down, restore, monitor, packageCli, and pipelineConfig - Added unit tests for the new validation logic Co-authored-by: vhvb1989 <24213737+vhvb1989@users.noreply.github.com> * Simplify provision.test.ts based on code review feedback Removed unused stub functions that weren't actually being used. Simplified tests to focus on the core validation logic. Co-authored-by: vhvb1989 <24213737+vhvb1989@users.noreply.github.com> * Refactor validation logic into shared utility function Based on code review feedback: - Extracted duplicated validation logic to validateFileSystemUri() in cmdUtil.ts - Updated all 8 command files to use the shared function - Simplified test assertions - Improved code maintainability by reducing duplication Co-authored-by: vhvb1989 <24213737+vhvb1989@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix validation to use strict equality check for undefined Changed condition from `!selectedFile.fsPath` to `selectedFile.fsPath === undefined` to avoid incorrectly rejecting empty string paths which are valid for root directories. Co-authored-by: vhvb1989 <24213737+vhvb1989@users.noreply.github.com> * Fix l10n.t() to use single string literal instead of concatenation The first argument to vscode.l10n.t() should be a single string literal for proper localization tooling compatibility. Removed string concatenation and used a single multi-line string literal instead.
