No settings update lock mechanism for multiple-windows update?

[sinedied]

Hi team,

I have an extension that tries to update the same user settings key from multiple workspace windows, but when it happens I get conflicts.

To give more context, I have a key like this:

{
  'myapp.workspaceSetting': {
    'path/to/workspace/1': 'value1',
    'path/to/workspace/2': 'value2',
    ...
  }
}

And on a specific event, I need to update this setting from every open window, which triggers the conflict.

I tried using a file-based lock to ensure I call config.update() 1 at a time, but I still get conflicts so I assume the configuration update might be delayed and happens async.

Is there any solution to my problem?
I'm surprised though there isn't any built-in lock mechanism to settings updates.

Thanks
