How do I prevent the .dccache file from being created?

Question

vscode keeps adding a file named .dccache. How can I prevent this?

It messes up the github diffs and I keep on having to add .dccache to the .gitignore for several different projects.

I can't find anything about why .dccache is being created in the first place

Answer 1

It can also be created by the Snyk extension.

Answer 2

I have the same file, I believe this is being created from DeepCode: https://www.deepcode.ai/

This is a code analysis tool to try to find issues. Check if you installed the DeepCode extension in VSCode if you want to get rid of this file, otherwise ignoring it should be fine.
