Description

When running an extension using the vscode-test-web tool, the default workspace is mounted under vscode-test-web://mount/. This trailing / causes issues with the LSP URI converter.

For example:

  • The code-to-protocol maps vscode-test-web://mount/a/file.txt to file:///workspacea/file.txt (rather than file:///workspace/a/file.txt).
  • The protocol-to-code converter maps file:///workspace/a/file.txt to vscode-test-web://mount//a/file.txt (this isn't as serious, though does mean the URL is no longer normalised).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the LSP URI converter cases described for the vscode-test-web workspace URI vscode-test-web://mount/. Trace both code-to-protocol and protocol-to-code conversions, then verify that workspace paths retain the separator and URLs remain normalized for the examples in the issue.
