[silverqx]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

All references are doubled, they have the same path but with the .git extension. The project must be a GIT project, must contain .git/ folder.

Does this .git file exist on the file system?

[silverqx]

Of course that no why would I have all the files doubled with .git extension. 🙂

[andyleejordan]

Well, I can't repro it. Can you tell me what other extensions you have installed? Does it repro when you run an VS Code instance with only the PowerShell Extension?

[silverqx]

I try it and let know, I need to find a little time for it but I do it, I have a lot of extensions installed and will have to disable them one by one to find out. GitHub actions or similar extension could cause this, will see.

[silverqx]

I can reproduce it on a clean vscode profile (I moved ~/.AppData/Roaming/code and ~/.vscode to .bak).

To reproduce it you must open the folder that is also a GIT repository, must contain .git folder.

[silverqx]

If it's not a git repository it works well.

[andyleejordan]

Sorry, do you mean you're opening the .git folder itself? I definitely tested this in a Git repository and am not seeing this behavior. Do you see this with references in files provided by other extensions (like can you repro this in a C# or a Python file)?

[andyleejordan]

Well, I can repro it very specifically in your project https://github.com/silverqx/TinyORM/tree/main/tools/private

It would appear that in some instances VS Code hands us "Git" documents (like where DocumentUri starts with git:/ similar to real files with file:/). I want to know when and why it does this, because I've never seen it before but sure do see it in your repo. At least the fix is to filter those out...working on it.

Hmm

I absolutely don't know too and I'm also confused about why is this happening.

Great that is a good idea, I tried to find how to filter them out but I was not successful.

I have also another problem with these references, it doesn't directly depend to this issue but I ask here and will not create another issue.

Is there any vscode setting how I can tell the PowerShell extension to exclude some folders?

Eg. look at this, it's from my dotfiles, the problem is that my dotfiles also contain the vscode profile in the git repo:

There are 5 references in total, 2 in the pms.ps1 script and 3 in the pmu.ps1, but the PowerShell extension of course counts references from all the .ps1 files in the current project. What can I do about this?

Hi, can you please open a separate issue for this. I think we respect the default search ignore settings in VS Code but want to double-check that with my team, which will happen when we triage new and open issues. Thanks!

[silverqx]

Thx, for fixing this @andyleejordan

[andyleejordan]

You're very welcome! I hope that's a complete fix, that is, that there isn't anything else sending git files over to the server. But I didn't see when debugging! Still don't know exactly why VS Code is sending didOpen notifications for files that we (the users) definitely didn't open.

From my experience is best to ask the author, if you know which code is responsible for that then look to git blame or GitHub history, find the author's name, create an issue, and ask why, an author will know it right away, maybe it's a bug.
