Feature request: csharp.referencesCodeLens.enabled setting

[mcclure]

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

'dotnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

VS Code version: 1.17.2
C# Extension version: 1.12.1
I am testing on Windows 10.

Steps to reproduce

Open "user settings" with ctrl-shift-p. In the search box type "References".

A javascript.referencesCodeLens.enabled and typescript.referencesCodeLens.enabled are found. In other words, it is possible to disable the CodeLens "references" feature selectively for JS/TS only.

There is no csharp.referencesCodeLens.enabled, and manually setting one has no effect. The only way to disable the "N references" display in VS Code is to set editor.codeLens to false. I am not certain what other features (if any) I am disabling by setting editor.codeLens false.

Expected behavior

• I should be able to disable the "5 references" text which is by default scattered through the code without disabling other features.
• In my opinion, there should be feature parity between the TypeScript and C# modules. If TypeScript allows you to turn off the "references" display for TypeScript only, so should C#.

Thanks! @rchande: Do you want to change the setting you added to match this?

[mcclure]

yay

@mcclure this is already available in the latest code (not yet released), but as @DustinCampbell mentioned, the names of these settings are different - csharp.showReferencesCodeLens and csharp.showTestsCodeLens.

It would definitely make sense to standardize them to match other language ecosystems 👍

Sounds good. I'll update the option names today.
