C#DevKit runs dotnet restore continuously

[scottbeech]

Type: Bug

Open any solution in VSCode with C#DevKit. It repeatedly/continuously runs dotnet restore. As soon as it finishes running, it runs it again immediately: It takes about 2 seconds to run, and then it immediately runs again, even though no code changes have been made.

After updating a few packages that were issuing warnings/errors, it was still re-running the restore over and over.

After a few restarts of VSCode, it seems to have settled down. I'm thinking that there is some state getting set when a restore error occurs, that isn't getting reset.

At a minimum, it would be nice to have a way to turn off this auto-running of restore. it doesn't add any value for me — I'd prefer the restore only happen when I explicitly ask for it. A bulky IDE/OS that is running processes in the background and taxing my CPU is the reason I use avoid VS/Windows, and use VSCode/Mac. I'm worries that C#DevKit is recreating that bulk within VSCode.

Please turn down the frequency of the restore auto- execution, or let us adjust the frequency (including turning it off entirely). And this would go for any background processing. Please keep the C#DevKit as minimally invasive as possible.

This is happening again. No errors on the NuGet restore. If I open the solution, then choose Build from the solution explorer, C#DevKit starts running restore repeatedly.

How do I make it stop?
