Understanding the executeCommand workflow

[sanbox-irl]

Hi,

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, but the documentation is not clear on this. I'm trying to add a command to the VSCode Command Palette (or any other similar set up). I understand that the command "lives" client side, and simply when the user invokes it, the server picks it up and can respond on executeCommand. That works fine. But I want, when the user invokes the command, for a dialogue box (similar to a Git commit asking you for your username and password) to pop up and ask for additional information.

It seems, on the face of it, to be connection.sendRequest but I'm unsure how to use it, and the documentation, such as it is, around it is unclear.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

You might want to create some custom methods?

Hmm. That's kind of unfortunate -- that really chains the LSP to a specific client. Thanks though!
