The .csproj alwasy unable to write at first attempt on Reverse Engineer

[doggy8088]

Provide steps to reproduce a bug

I'm always get the following error when I do Reverse Engineer in the new project.

One or more projects ('WebApplicationl.csproj') have been changed outside of the project system, and conflict with unsaved changes. The external changes have been discarded but have been saved in a backup file if you need t0 manually restore them.

I recorded a short video clip for reproduce this issue. It's always happened on my machine.

Could it be the entry for the .user file, never seen it before?

I will try to repro, thanks for the video

[ErikEJ]

I implemented a fix for this in the latest daily build, would be grateful if you could try it out.

What's the efpt.config.json.user file for? Is that necessary add to the .csproj?

[ErikEJ]

No, I do not add it, the project system does (for Web projects only) - looks like a project system issue to me.

It stores the UI hint for the last used database.
