Improve Google Cloud Project selection window

[thecanadianroot]

Expected Behavior

Loaded projects should not be reloaded automatically upon using the Select Google Cloud Project window. Another solution could be to allow saving a list of projects to allow easier switch between projects.

Actual Behavior

When selecting a Google Cloud Project from the Select Google Cloud Project window, all of the projects available to my account are loaded. This is not a problem for small organizations per se, but for larger organizations with thousands of projects, it takes a while (a couple of minutes), so it makes switching between projects a pain. It could be ok if all the projects were loaded once upon login, but from that point, they should not be refreshed automatically.

Additional Information

• IDE type (e.g. IntelliJ, Pycharm): IntelliJ
• IDE version: 2024.1
• Cloud Code version (Settings > Plugins > Cloud Code): 24.4.1-api-version-223
• Cloud SDK (Settings > Cloud Code > Cloud SDK)
  • Are you allowing the plugin to manage the Cloud SDK: yes
  • Version of the Cloud SDK:
• Skaffold version (If you are using Kubernetes features; Settings > Cloud Code > Kubernetes): v2.10.1
• Operating System: macOS Version 14.4 (23E214)

Thanks!

Thanks for the report. Most of the users don't have that many projects, but some do have longer time listing them. Your suggestion is one option, wdyt about also allowing entering project id/name manually without waiting for all projects to load?

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, entering project id/name without waiting would work better than loading all the projects at once and then searching by name.

It is already possible for Gemini (if you change Gemini project via settings, you can type project name in the text field directly), we'll work on improving this for the main selection dialog too.
