Behaviors

Expected behavior

licenser.author is used when generating license file and inserting headers.

Actual behavior

My login username is being used instead. This appears to be the same problem as observed in #118. Not sure if some regression has crept in with some change in recent VSCode releases?

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install the plugin
2. Configure licenser.author and licenser.license workspace setting
3. From command pallet > licenser: Insert license header

Thanks for the great extension! Very helpful!

Just to note, I'm suffering from the same issue.

FYI, I had the same problem (Windows 10) using the same steps above.

However, I found when I "turn it off and on again" it worked. i.e. closed the window in which I'd carried out the steps and opened the code afresh in a new window licenser.author was being recognised correctly.

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it. The solution you provided worked perfectly for my user settings, but unfortunately I'm still having trouble getting the workspace settings to work.

Any further suggestions or insights you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again!
