Extensions should not block the vscode extension host. Replace uses of
spawnSync
withspawnAsync
, a convenience wrapper aroundspawn
.These
spawnSync
s are unlikely to cause a real issue in practice, because they spawn very short-lived processes, so we aren't blocking for very long. That said, blocking the extension host is poor practice, and if they do block for too long for whatever reason, vscode becomes useless.
