Línea de trabajo

Reproduce el comportamiento en Windows con un espacio de trabajo remoto de RHEL 9 y la configuración de files.watcherExclude proporcionada; después, compara el resultado con VS Code nativo y GitHub Codespaces según lo reportado. Rastrea cómo code-server pasa esta configuración al observador de archivos y verifica si las exclusiones específicas impiden que se monten los endpoints de autofs y rclone; se considera terminado cuando las rutas excluidas no se recorren ni se montan.

OS/Web Information

Web Browser: latest Chrome
Local OS: Windows
Remote OS: RHEL 9
Remote Architecture: x86_64
code-server --version: 4.104.2 b0992ddb3e3b398371da6bcfbe21a70b4d66eb8d with Code 1.104.2

Steps to Reproduce

Our main project folder contains subfolders that make use of autofs + rclone. We do not want code-server attempting to traverse the MANY remote endpoints configured. The solution should be to use VS Code settings files.watcherExclude as implemented from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/150174

I have this setting in both the FOLDER (/files) and Workspace settings, but it appears to be ignored. Or is there another place to best handle this override?

{
    "files.watcherExclude": {
        "**/**": true,
        "**": true,
        "*": true
    }
}

That should effectively disable files watching completely. Optimally, I would like to use targeted filtering instead (which also does not have any effect) of globally excluding:

{
    "files.watcherExclude": {
        "/*files/cifs/**": true,
        "/*files/nfs/**": true,
        "/*files/s3/**": true,
        "/*files/sftp/**": true
    }
}

Expected

When I do df, I should not see any remote filesystems mounted.

Actual

As soon as I open the project workspace, it begins to crawl through all of the folders, which in turn, begins to mount every endpoint to do more crawling -- ugh!!

Does this bug reproduce in native VS Code?

Yes, this is also broken in native VS Code

Does this bug reproduce in GitHub Codespaces?

Yes, this is also broken in GitHub Codespaces

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

I am using a secure context.
