Per the wiki for VSCode setup, it's pretty much required that everyone's producing pedantically valid text files. That is, there should be a newline terminating the last line of every text file we check in.

So developer VS Code should always be set up with:

    "files.insertFinalNewline": true,

When I wrote that suggestion in the wiki, I deeply wished I had a way to make this a default on every developer's VSCode, but we didn't have that ability until now.

So can we add this to the .vscode_defaults/linux-virtual-workstation.code-workspace file please?

PS: Thanks for your work getting something in place to ease the historically complex vscode setup experience for our virtual workstations!

PPS: the .vscode_defaults/linux-virtual-workstation.code-workspace file itself needs a trailing newline. This may seem pedantic but it's an issue that affects scripting and tooling pipelines etc (see SERVER-55281) that's best avoided. For example:

$ tail .vscode_defaults/linux-virtual-workstation.code-workspace ; echo "<= Am I alone on this line? =>"
        "extensions": {
                "recommendations": [
                        "llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd",
                        "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
                        "ms-python.python",
                        "xaver.clang-format",
                        "notskm.clang-tidy"
                ]
        }
}<= Am I alone on this line? =>
