Workaround on Uri.fsPath getting '/' (slash) prefix

[ole1986]

Alternate to PR #314 which should make the fixFileUrl unnecessary I guess
I assume some path modification take place before fsPath() got initially called.

So the call immediately after Uri.file([...]) is called fixes it for me.

More details on _makeFsPath here:

May also fix #307, #296, #297 and others.

One of the most popular VS Code extensions, with 3.3 million views, has had one of its core features totally broken for months, and PRs aiming to fix it have just been sitting and waiting. What will it take to get some action on this?

@ole1986 Can you share a non-expiring link? A read-only link to the vsix file on a cloud storage service would do the trick.
