CMake-Tools does not reconfigure after change of CMakeLists.txt in subdirectory of root

[diggidende]

Brief Issue Summary

I have a project with a CMakeLists.txt in the root directory and another CMakeLists.txt in subdirectory 'src'. CMakeLists.txt in the root directory contains the command 'add_subdirectory(src)'. Whenever I make a change to src/CMakeLists.txt (i.e. in the subdirectory), CMake does not reconfigure the project automatically. When I make a change to CMakeLists.txt in the root directory, CMake does reconfigure the project automatically, as expected.

Expected:

CMake-Tools should automatically trigger a CMake reconfiguration of the project whenever any of the CMakeLists.txt files in subdirectories of the root directory are modified and saved.

1. Modify and save subdirectory/CMakeLists.txt
2. CMake-Tools triggers reconfiguration of project.

Apparent Behavior:

1. Modify and save subdirectory/CMakeLists.txt
2. Nothing happens

Platform and Versions

• Operating System: Windows 10
• CMake Version: 3.20.21032501-MSVC_2
• VSCode Version: 1.56.2
• CMake Tools Extension Version: 1.7.3
• Compiler/Toolchain: Visual C++ 2019

Other Notes/Information

One annoying consequence of the issue: whenever I add a new file (.cpp / .h) to the project, IntelliSense keeps reporting errors (e.g. for #include statements) until I manually trigger a reconfiguration of the project, even though I explicitly add those files to the source list of a target in src/CMakeLists.txt. (see the IntelliSense issue described under https://vector-of-bool.github.io/docs/vscode-cmake-tools/common_issues.html)
