Description

I have helm chart yaml template files in my repository together with regular yaml files.

This creates a problem since helm template files are not valid yamls but at the same time I'd like to use the yaml validation and outline view on the proper yaml files.

Am I missing the configuration that would allow customization which directories to exclude from yaml validation (so that the "problems" from incorrect yamls do not show up in the "problems" view)?

Research direction

Start by locating the configuration handling for YAML validation and the Problems view in the VS Code YAML extension. Check how directory exclusions could be represented, then verify that regular YAML files retain validation and outline support while Helm chart template files no longer produce YAML validation problems.
