How to prevent sidebar popup when server status changes?

[hoywu]

I use Deploy plugin to automatically publish changes every time I save a code file. However, any changes to the files in the Deployment directory will cause the sidebar pop up.

(Notice that the status of Tomcat Server changes to "Publish Required", and then changes back to "Synchronized")

I can't find a configuration option that can disables this behavior. Is there any solution for this?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hrmm... I've never seen this behavior. I'll... look into it.

Thank you for looking into it!

The steps to reproduce for your reference

1. Create an empty workspace and open it in vscode (e.g., /tmp/tmp)
2. Create a Tomcat server in the Community Server Connectors plugin (with "server on disk")
3. Add a Exploded deployment on the Tomcat server, and select the current workspace directory (/tmp/tmp)
4. Create an empty html file in the workspace (e.g., /tmp/tmp/index.html)
5. Start Tomcat server, wait for the status to change to (Started) (Synchronized)
6. Open /tmp/tmp/index.html and collapse sidebar
7. Type any code in /tmp/tmp/index.html and save it
8. You will see the collapsed sidebar expand automatically
