Settings.json does not remove profile specific items #13

Closed Munsio closed 5 years ago

Versions: App: VSCodium - 1.36.1 OS: Mac Mojave - 10.14.6 Profile Switcher: 0.3.2

I don't know if this is a bug or behaviour:

If i switch from my Base profile to my GO profile the go-extension settings are correctly copied to the settings.json If i switch then from my GO profile to my PHP profile the extensions are correctly removed/added but all the go-extension related settings are present at the root level of the settings.json

Expected: By switching from the GO to the PHP profile the go relevant settings should be removed.

This is expected behaviour. The extension isn't smart enough to know which settings belong to which profile, and because the uninstall isn't a "graceful" one (it just deletes the extension off disk) the sessions won't get removed.

When you switch profiles it is an additive approach to the settings.json file, so any settings you already have will be merged with the new settings.
