Trying to insert a custom header: The header file is at the base of my workspace in a file called HEADER.txt. I specify this name in the customHeaderFile settings.
Trying to create a LICENSE file from a custom header: Once again, I have set customHeaderFile to HEADER.txt
Expected behavior
The HEADER.txt in the workspace should be picked and inserted into the current file
The extension should create a file called LICENSE in the root of my workspace
Actual behavior
The first operation fails. This is what I see in devtools
A similar message is also shown as a notification
The second operation does nothing: No file created, no error notifications being shown. However, in devtools, I see the following:
Steps to reproduce the issue

EDIT
It may not be clear from my report, but I should also add that doing any of the above with the pre-installed licenses, actually works. So the problem is definitely with the way custom licenses are handled, and I have a hunch it may be due to path issues, just from a casual glance into the extension code.
You may want to be using the workspace api for reading files from the current workspace, otherwise if you're using just fs, you should supply it the full path to the file if the file name is not absolute. Just a hint in case you're not already doing that.
