chore(vscode): gitignore .vscode-test harness cache directory#194
Merged
Conversation
The @vscode/test-electron harness downloads a full VS Code binary into vscode-extension/.vscode-test/ (~900MB, 6300+ files), which flooded the git working tree. Ignore it alongside the other build outputs.

Problem
Running the extension test suite (
npm testunder@vscode/test-electron) downloads a full VS Code binary intovscode-extension/.vscode-test/— 6,314 files / ~906 MB. This directory was not ignored, flooding the git working tree (~882 changes in the VS Code git window).Fix
Add
.vscode-test/tovscode-extension/.gitignore, alongside the other build outputs (out/,dist/,webview-dist/,_i18n/,*.vsix). Nothing under that path was ever tracked, so nothing is orphaned.This is the standard
@vscode/test-electroncache location and should never be committed.
