vscode-languageserver-node: Language client does not automanticly send file operation notification/reqiuest when working on certain path

My language client does not automanticly send file operation notification/reqiuest (the 6 things in ServerCapabilities.workspace.file_operations, didCreate and willCreate, etc) on file change. Did I forget something in client startup?

More detailed information is provided in discussion in tower-lsp repo and stackoverflow. Source code is here. Looks like this is not a server-side issue, since force sending a didRename notification works, and capabilities in initialize result is just like expected.

To clarify: these operations are only send when the user triggers these operation from within the VS Code user interface or via applying a txt edit.

In addition your server needs to register for these.

I tested it locally and the events fire for me for a registration like this:

					fileOperations: {
						willRename: {
							filters: [ { scheme: 'file', pattern: { glob: '**/*.ts', matches: 'file' } } ]
						}
					}

The testbed code is here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node/tree/dbaeumer/onWillRenameFiles

If you provide me with a GitHub repository I can clone that demos the missing events in a TS/JS server setup I will have a look.
