After restart, one to several reconnect messages apear

[m-tyler]

I have noticed for a little while that after restarting VSCode, for things like an extension update, I will get notifications asking me if i want to reconnect for a particular source member, even though I did not have the member open or, as is usually the case, no members open when I restarted.

This image shows several after I restarted after updating the RPGLE language extension. I never open QUSEC.rpgle member. I rarely open RPGLINT.json.

Something else I have noticed before and noticed today, (before I had the RPGLE extension updated) I had fresh started VSCode, connected, waited for the connection sequences to complete, then looked at the Code for IBM i output channel and noticed it was constantly going to the IBM server to get member information, mind you this was just after connecting. I would clear the output channel and it would continue to fill with actions that get information from the IBM server.

I then restarted for the RPGLE extension and upon restart, I received a list of messages asking me if I want to reconnect.

Its seems like there is a cache that does not get cleared sometimes that is a list of member information to retrieve from the IBM server.

Is this something that is a bug or a know way the extension works? Mind you this is all occuring (usually only) after a restart but has occasionally happened on fresh startups.

This looks and reads very similar to #2578 to me.

@worksofliam I have experienced the same behavior as @m-tyler describes. It asks for reconnecting to sourcemembers that I never opened actively. Not sure when this started, somewhere in the beginning of May I think
