Tasks being detected from gitignored directories

[musjj]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code version: Code 1.88.1 (e170252f762678dec6ca2cc69aba1570769a5d39, 2024-04-10T17:34:12.840Z)
• OS version: Linux x64 6.6.28

I'm using direnv with nix-direnv which sets up a dev environment for the local directory (including installing tools/packages, etc.).

As a side effect, direnv caches a lot of files under a .direnv directory which I usually put into my .gitignore. But the problem is that VS Code still detects tasks from the directory despite it being excluded from the VCS.

This ends up polluting my task list with a lot of irrelevant stuff:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Put a file that can be detected as a task into a hidden directory (package.json's scripts, etc.).
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+B to open the task list.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.90.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!
