I don't know for sure if your extension is causing this issue, but you can have a look at it. https://github.com/microsoft/AL/issues/6748

Update: @anzwdev This problem does only occure with workspaces. e.g. MainApp and TestApp, while downloading symbols for the first time for the MainApp

ALProject1.zip Here is an example project. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Workspace.
2. Add a launch.json in the .vscode folder of the MainApp Folder
3. Try Download for the the first time. (Optionally ad set the EditorLog of the AL Language Extension to Verbose)

I've removed the last one remaining reference to the procedure that uses "temp-al-proxy.al" file from the extension and marked the procedure as "deprecated". It was just in one place - interface wizard was using it to get list of public codeunit methods. My extension no longer uses it anywhere, but I made additional investigation and found that "al-navigator" extension calls it to get list of available objects. I don't want to break any other extensions that have dependency to mine, so I have to keep the method in the code. The change will be available in the next release.
