Method makeAgentName

agent/agentcontainers/api.go:1145–1158

makeAgentName attempts to create an agent name. It will first attempt to create an agent name based off of the workspace folder, and will eventually fallback to a friendly name. Like `safeAgentName`, the second returned value will be true if the agent name utilizes the workspace folder, and false if

(workspaceFolder string, friendlyName string)

// agent name utilizes the workspace folder, and false if it falls back to the
// friendly name.
func (api *API) makeAgentName(workspaceFolder string, friendlyName string) (string, bool) {
	for attempt := 0; attempt <= maxAttemptsToNameAgent; attempt++ {
		agentName, usingWorkspaceFolder := expandedAgentName(workspaceFolder, friendlyName, attempt)
		if !usingWorkspaceFolder {
			return agentName, false
		}

		if !api.devcontainerNames[agentName] {
			return agentName, true
		}
	}

	return safeFriendlyName(friendlyName), false
}

// RefreshContainers triggers an immediate update of the container list
// and waits for it to complete.
