VSCode is not actually saving the file in Mac OS.

[abinshoby]

After saving a file from VSCode the changes are not reflecting in the actual file explorer. The changes can be seen only in the VScode editor. Please fix the issue.

This must be caused by something you are doing or not doing. Many of the VS Code team use macOS and they all use VS Code to develop VS Code. There's no way there can be a generic "not actually saving the file" problem.

The issue is happening in VSCode v1.68. It was working fine until 5th July, 2022. Now the issue started to occur. First I thought it might be permission related issue. Then I provided all the access. Even after that VScode is saving the file only in its cached file system and not in actual file system.

Can you provide a gif please? Nothing changed in the stable build of VS code on July 5th. Are you trying to save to a symlinked or privileged directory?
