C# Extension version:

C#
v2.0.206
Pre-Release

OmniSharp log

N/A

Steps to reproduce

When I switched to the new C# extension, "Library" directory with Library/Application Support/Microsoft Visual Studio/prpbg.dat appears in my home directory. When deleted, it reappears every time a project is opened. This doesn't happen with OmniSharp.

Expected behavior

This extension should not make a mess in home directory, there is an XDG standard for configs, caches, local storages etc., see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_Base_Directory.

Actual behavior

Follow the Linux standard and do not store those data in home in a non-hidden directory.

Additional context

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.3.3-arch1-1

I have the same OS and extension version, but newer vscode and cannot reproduce this problem

Are you using C# devkit as well?

[dibarbet]

I can repro this using C# devkit. When devkit is enabled, it appears to create a prpbg.dat and prpbg.dat.bak in the folder you mention. If I have devkit disabled, the files are not created.

Closing this issue, track it on the devkit side here - microsoft/vscode-dotnettools#118

Yep, I do.

I'll be watching that issue then. Thanks.

Apparently, I didn't actually hit the close button the first time. Actually closing it this time in favor of microsoft/vscode-dotnettools#118
