Encountering "Cannot write file" errors in VSCode after adding tsconfig exclude?

When I insert the exclude block into my tsconfig.json file like this:

 "exclude": ["angular-package-format-workspace"]

I encounter the following errors in VSCode. These errors disappear once I remove the exclude block (However, the intended exclusion functionality still works - so I am curious why these errors are showing up in VSCode):


JSON schema for the TypeScript compiler's configuration file

One helpful tip is to include the block, save your work, and then relaunch Visual Studio Code.

While in use, Visual Studio Code retains open files which may cause interference with other software attempting to access or modify them.
