Ignore Read Only

[Philanoe]

Type: Bug

Work on Debian 12, Xfce

Bug description :

1. I opened a folder, modified a file.
2. I changed the permission of a file into read only
3. I was still able to modify and "save" the file within VS Code, with no error message.
4. When I open the file from outside, I see that the file was not saved, whereas nothing told me so in VS Code.
5. When I reopen VS code on the same folder, it enventually tells me that I cannot save the read only file.

Actual result

The following message is not printed 'Script_FallingStars.js': File is read-only. Select 'Overwrite' to attempt to make it writeable.

Expected result

The following message is printed : 'Script_FallingStars.js': File is read-only. Select 'Overwrite' to attempt to make it writeable.

Possible source of the problem :

VS Code might send a "read only" message based on a permission check done when we open a file. To solve this problem, VS Code should check the permission of the file each time a file is saved (at least for the manual saving operations) or be able to obtain and deal with the save error related to its saving command.

This behaviour does not appear again. I think I modified the writing rights of the wrong file. This issue can be closed.
