Repro steps

<how to reproduce the bug. Please attach sample files or github repo if appropriate.>

1. install ROS extension to VSCode
2. install colcon
3. make new directory
4. open VSCode there

expected behavior

<what you would expect to happen>
"log" directory of colcon would be generated.

additional context

<any additional information would be helpful for a better understanding>

Bump. I get this issue as well. Expected behaviour should be: "log" dir to not be generated in other non-ROS related workspaces, or at all.
