CMakeUserPresets.json - not parsed anymore in v1.19.46

[dornbirndevelops]

Brief Issue Summary

A completely valid CMakeUserPresets.json cannot be parsed with the currently latest pre-release.

Consider the following CMake presets configuration for the steps below:

{
    "version": 4,
    "configurePresets": [
        {
            "name": "default",
            "hidden": false,
            "description": "Default configuration",
            "generator": "Ninja",
            "binaryDir": "${sourceDir}/build",
            "cacheVariables": {
                "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE": "Release",
                "CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS": "ON",
                "CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX": "${sourceDir}/install"
            }
        }
    ],
    "buildPresets": [
        {
            "name": "default",
            "hidden": false,
            "description": "Default build",
            "configurePreset": "default",
            "targets": [
                "all"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Create a CMakePresets.json file with the content from before.
Run the CMake: Select Configure Preset command.
Observation: Configure Preset from file is shown as expected

Now, rename the CMakePresets.json file to a CMakeUserPresets.json file.
Run the CMake: Select Configure Preset command.
Observation: Configure Preset from file is not shown anymore.
Additionally, the editor highlights an error in line 1 "Could not find configure preset 'default' in preset 'default'".

@dornbirndevelops Thanks for the issue! We will have this fixed shortly, as we are in the process of releasing our 1.19 official version in the coming week or so. It will get fixed hopefully in the next couple days in pre-release, and then the official release behind it, if everything goes to plan 👍

Thanks for helping us by using pre-release!

[v-frankwang]

We verified this issue on CMake Tools: v1.19.47 (pre-release) and it has been fixed:

[dornbirndevelops]

Thank you very much @gcampbell-msft !
I verified the current state of main, including the changes from #4008.
They also fixed my original problems in #3974.
Looking forward to the next extension release 🎉

FTR: cmake.configureOnEdit does not have to be set to true.
