`.inspect` does not return the updated setting but `.get` does

[karrtikr]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Version: 1.61.0 (user setup)
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22471

Steps to Reproduce:

Started happening after VSCode release. FYI we haven't been able to reproduce this issue locally, happens with Github action: microsoft/vscode-python#17708 cc @karthiknadig

1. Update a setting, for eg.

    const pythonConfig = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration('python');
    await pythonConfig.update('defaultInterpreterPath', 'pythonPath', false);

2. Wait for the change event to fire via workspace.onDidChangeConfiguration.
3. Query configuration via .inspect and .get:

    const currentConfig = this.workspace.getConfiguration('python', this.workspaceRoot);
    console.log(`Changed path [default]: ${currentConfig.get<string>('defaultInterpreterPath')}`);
    console.log('Inspect path [default]', JSON.stringify(currentConfig.inspect('defaultInterpreterPath')));

4. Notice .get returns the correct info and inspect doesn't.

@sandy081 does this constitute a breaking API change?

[sandy081]

It seems to work for me. I am using following sample

vscode.commands.registerCommand('testExtension.helloWorld', async (arg) => {
		vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().update('testExtension.testSetting', !vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().get('testExtension.testSetting'), vscode.ConfigurationTarget.Global);
	});
	vscode.workspace.onDidChangeConfiguration(e => {
		console.log('get', vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().get('testExtension.testSetting'));
		console.log('inspect', vscode.workspace.getConfiguration().inspect('testExtension.testSetting'));
	});

console log statement for inspect is returning the expected value.

Can you please provide the sample using which you are able to repro?

It happens with extension but only on Github actions: microsoft/vscode-python#17708. We'll see if we can shrink down the sample for you to use, and provide it here soon.

Still working on getting a minimal repro.
