rust-analyzer.files.exclude does not appear to work.

[jlennox]

VS Code plugin version: 0.2.384
Operating system: macOS

  "rust-analyzer.files.exclude": [
    "depot_tools",
    "depot_tools/**",
    "**/depot_tools/**",
  ],

With the above setting, when I run lsof -p ... against the pid of rust-analyzer-mac, I still see:

I have the problem that my repository contains a large amount of directories and I really need many of them to be skipped, otherwise rust-analyzer's package scan takes multiple hours to complete.

I found this setting has gone through an unfortunate identity crisis. rust-analyzer.excludeGlobs to rust-analyzer.files.exclude to rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs inside of a year. I'm using what appears to be defined inside of my packages.json.

It looks like this is called rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs since #7451.

Anyway, the latest extension version is 0.2.489 and at one release every week, 0.2.384 is 105 weeks old.

EDIT: sorry, I guess the extension version might get bumped by 7 every week, which would make yours only 105 days old.

Thank you. It appears my dated VSCode was keeping me on an old version and updating it added rust-analyzer.files.excludeDirs which appears to work.

You might still want to keep an eye on #7755, though.
