Case insensitive update not reflected in vscode.window.activeTextEditor.document.uri.fsPath

[goto-dev-null]

Type: Bug

If a file is renamed from "Foobar.ts" to "FooBar.ts", the value contained in vscode.window.activeTextEditor.document.uri.fsPath will still be "Foobar.ts". This continues to occur even if you rename the file to something totally diferent then rename it back, and also occurs when closing out all tabs and fully exiting VS Code. I would expect this to be updated to reflect the actual case of the file.

I apologize for not having a non-extension related way of reproducing. I will try to walk through why I believe this is in VS Code and not an extension.

The extension in question is DX-Code-Companion. Jt sends a command to the terminal for the active editor file. Here is the function that seeks to get the active path. It uses vscode.window.activeTextEditor.document.uri.fsPath.

For extra context if needed, here's the code that invokes the above; it's pretty basic in that it just wants the filepath back: https://github.com/msrivastav13/DX-Code-Companion/blob/f08e1f12fa079ef6864f13ede4c27887e24ab0ff/src/services/deploy.ts#L87-L97

Nevermind, this might just be a windows case-insensitive issue. The tab reflected "FooBar.ts" even though on the filesystem it was still "Foobar.ts".
