clarify some "Getting Started" text in the Local Deployment section

[jwoehr]

Like it sez .. found the text as-is a little confusing

[sebjulliand]

Thanks @jwoehr !
There is just one misunderstanding that must be fixed. The rest is OK 👌🏻

[sebjulliand]

Since we're talking about local development here, Code for i will look for actions.json in the .vscode folder that should be located at the root of the workspace, not in the user's home directory on the IFS.

[jwoehr]

Well, I'm certainly not clear in this. I've set this up but I can't find that actions.json file where you say. Is it at the root of the workspace on the workstation, or at the root of the builds directory on the IBM i?

[worksofliam]

@jwoehr the actions.json file exists at .vscode/actions.json in the workspace folder.

[jwoehr]

I don't see any such folder in the workspace folder I created (nor anywhere on my hard disk which I searched afterwards)

[jwoehr]

I do find a .vscode/actions.json in my home dir on the IBM i dated some weeks ago.

[jwoehr]

So what is the definition of "workspace folder" ... the one on my pc? or the parent directory of build on the IBM i?

[worksofliam]

@jwoehr Here is the docs on a workspace: basically one or more folders opened inside of VS Code.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/workspaces/workspaces

[jwoehr]

Right @worksofliam that's what I thought.
Only ... there is no .vscode folder in my workspace.
Here is my workspace:

And here is the recursive listing of that workspace:
