Milestone
Description
Type: LanguageService
Describe the bug
- OS and Version: Linux x64 5.8.7-dirty
- VS Code Version: 1.53.0-insider (9b6aaf1e86c8fec4c86c664edf5f713583c70fe5)
- C/C++ Extension Version: v1.1.3
- Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): Only C/C++ extension is enabled.
- Does this issue involve using SSH remote to run the extension on a remote machine?: N/A
- A clear and concise description of what the bug is, including information about the workspace (i.e. is the workspace a single project or multiple projects, size of the project, etc).: "Tasks: Configure Default Build Task" always lists the top-most project as the "active file" for generating a new task.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a workspace
- Add multiple root workspace projects
- Make one of the projects NOT contain a "tasks.json" file, but do NOT make that project the top/first project. (not really necessary, but highlights the issue)
- Tasks: Configure Default Build Task
- Close the workspace and only open the project WITHOUT a "tasks.json" file.
- Tasks: Configure Default Build Task
Expected behavior
I'd expect step 4 to show the project that doesn't have a "tasks.json" file like it does in step 6, as opposed to showing the top root workspace project for task generation (screenshots should make it clear).
Logs
N/A (nothing showing relating to the "Configure Default Build Task" when activated) Screenshots
Multi-root incorrect:

It looks to always be the top-most project that gets the "generate" option for tasks. It seems to always consider it the "active file".
Even when I open the "app.cpp" for the "firmware" project which already has a "tasks.json" file, it still considers the top Arduino project as the "active file".
