Pub: Get Packages shouldn't list all packages in the same workspace since they perform the same action #6034
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Now, most of the extension commands around pub (and output tab names) match pub workspaces quite well. But when I recently cloned https://github.com/flame-engine/flame, I saw that if you run Pub: Get Packages (with no files opened), you'll see the screenshot below. But even the second line there is part of the pub workspace at the root.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like for us to see (somehow) that the packages below are from a workspace.

If we know that tehy are all part of the same workspace, I'm not even sure it makes any sense to show them all, but I'll leave it up to you to decide what will be best here.

Yeah, I don't think we should be showing them. If you're in a Code Workspace with a single Pub Workspace, it would be pointless to even ask.
I thought I'd already handled this at some point, but apparently not :-)

Small note for when you're handling this. It may come in handy for the user to know that some things are not showing up because there is a workspace. So adding
(workspace)after the name or something would be my suggestion.DanTup commentedon Apr 20, 2026
Yeah, probably we should show something like "(Pub Workspace, 15 packages)".
