Pull request overview
This PR fixes issue microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github#8073 where concurrent tree view operations could throw an "Element with id X is already registered" error. The fix handles the case where the same element (same object reference) is being registered multiple times concurrently by updating the existing node instead of throwing an error.
Key changes:
- Modified
_createAndRegisterTreeNodeto detect when an element with the same ID is being re-registered - If the element is the same object, update the existing node instead of throwing an error
- If the element is a different object with the same ID, still throw the error (correct behavior)
- Added comprehensive test for concurrent
revealoperations
