Memory issue with VS Code Motoko Extention

skilesare · April 4, 2024, 1:28pm

I have some crazy projects, but I don’t think they are THAT crazy. I regularly get Code Helper Plugins taking up 5Gb+ of memory:

afat@v ic % ps aux | grep 36565
afat 36565 0.0 0.1 1586132800 50320 ?? S 8:40PM 35:07.51/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Frameworks/Code Helper (Plugin).app/Contents/MacOS/Code Helper (Plugin) --stack-size=1361 /Users/afat/.vscode/extensions/dfinity-foundation.vscode-motoko-0.16.3/out/server.js --node-ipc --clientProcessId=12634

I can just kill them and move on, but if a memory dump or something like that would be helpful I’d be happy to provide it. (@rvanasa )

I am trying to diagnose why my vscode motoko extension has just stopped putting …anything like errors/warnings in vscode anymore I have tried - Changing to multiple older versions of vscode - Changing my source code to when I knew it worked - Restarted my computer Upon looking I find this error in my output, no matter the cases listed above ``` Loading packages for directory:
