The Object Explorer filter icon was not appearing when connecting to a single database (as opposed to an entire server) with schema grouping enabled. This issue occurred because the filter icon visibility depends on the filterable property in the tree node's context value, which was only set to true when the SQL Tools Service provided filterableProperties. However, the SQL Tools Service doesn't send filterableProperties for single database connections, causing the filter icon to be hidden.

Root Cause

  • Filter icon appears based on filterable property in tree node context
  • Property was only set when nodeInfo.filterableProperties?.length > 0
  • SQL Tools Service doesn't provide filterableProperties for single database connections
  • This caused filterable: false and hid the filter icon

Solution

Modified ConnectionNode.updateToConnectedState() to ensure database connections are always marked as filterable:

const isFilterable = 
    nodeInfo.filterableProperties?.length > 0 || 
    (connectionProfile.database ? true : false);

This change:

  • Makes database connections filterable regardless of server-provided filterableProperties
  • Preserves existing behavior for server connections (respects server capabilities)
  • Aligns behavior with Azure Data Studio where this feature works correctly

Testing

Added comprehensive unit tests covering:

  • Database connections are filterable even without server-provided filter properties
  • Server connections still respect server-provided filter capabilities
  • No regression in existing functionality

Fixes #20024.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

  • update.code.visualstudio.com
    • Triggering command: node ./out/test/unit/runTest.js (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
