CMake Tools doesn't support source files outside the directory of the CMakeLists.txt

[julee]

Brief Issue Summary

e.g:
A workspace has a CMakeLists.txt, and it add a external directory as submodule:

add_subdirectory(externalSubModule path_to_external_submodule_outside_root_directory)

While we set:
"C_Cpp.default.configurationProvider": "vector-of-bool.cmake-tools"

Source files in workspace directory have correct intellisense, but if we navigated to source files of the external submodule by add_subdirectory, intellisense won't work.

Expected:

The same behavior as sources files in workspace directory.

Do the files show up incorrectly in the project outline as well? I just tried this and it looks like it's concatenating paths.

Yes, external source files paths are wrong. Though we can navigate to source file with "goto definition" .
