vscode - ofstream not creating a new file, .exe works normally-CodePudding

I cannot create or read files using vscode with fstream. Program run from .exe works normally (creates a file empty.txt). main.cpp:

#include <fstream> 

int main()
{
    std::ofstream file("empty.txt");
}

The above program does not create a file when run with vscode.

Change cwd in both launch.json and tasks.json to "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",.
