Description

Scenario:
You have a vscode code-workspace file that opens the root of the project, and then 3 subfolder examples.

  • ./yourapp
  • ./yourapp/examples/example1
  • ./yourapp/examples/example2
  • ./yourapp/examples/example3

In ./yourapp/.vscode/settings.json, you have files.exclude entry for "examples" so you don't see them in the root workspace.

Now all the exapmle workspaces are excluded from language server functionality because of the filter.

We should solve this. Not sure how.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the scenario with the code-workspace layout and ./yourapp/.vscode/settings.json containing a files.exclude entry for "examples". Trace how the workspace exclusion is applied to language server functionality. Done means examples hidden from the root workspace remain available to the three nested workspaces.
