VSCode holds *.asar file locked though I've even did not open it in editor, which leads to "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

[ivictbor]

• VSCode Version: 1.37.1
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open sources of app app which includes *.asar resources with electron-builder
2. Run npm run build
3. build fails win-unpacked\resources\app.asar: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
4. Process explorer shows that is holder by vscode

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
Yes, tried code --disable-extensions, Open Folder.

Duplicate of #62518 (comment) , but that one was not fixed

@ivictbor in that screenshot, what is the full command line of the Code process that locks the asar file? Trying to understand which of our processes this is.

@bpasero thanks for reply, here how it looks, though it has no code --disable-extensions, maybe reason in that fact I used file -> open recent and it restarted vscode with extensions again

@dbaeumer looking at it this seems to be a language server. Didn't you recently push a change there to disable asar support?

[dbaeumer]

This got fixed in the LSP libraries lately. I think it got introduced when @alexandrudima added asar support to the extension host and removed the env when starting it. Commit is microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node@1e7962e

@dbaeumer Is there a new version I can adopt?

[dbaeumer]

No, will come out this week.
