Tool extensions consuming this library risk redundant LSP processes and duplicated diagnostics in multi-root workspaces. The TypeScript client already runs a singleton server (one client rooted at
getProjectRoot(), per-folder settings forwarded viagetExtensionSettings()), so the gap was the lack of a per-folder opt-out (e.g.pylint.enabled: falsefor a single folder).Changes
settings.tsisToolEnabledForWorkspace(namespace, workspace?, settingKey?)— reads the per-folder<namespace>.enabledboolean; defaults to enabled,settingKeyoverridable (e.g.'enable').getEnabledWorkspaceFolders(namespace, settingKey?)— folders for which the tool is enabled.getExtensionSettings()now resolves settings only for enabled folders, so the shared server never lints opted-out folders. Backward compatible: unset → enabled.index.ts— export the two new helpers.getExtensionSettings.Example
Note:
getExtensionSettings()filtering changes which folders reach the server when a tool exposes anenabledsetting and a user disables a folder — worth a careful look during review, though defaults preserve existing behavior.
