Every time I connect to Remote Linux Server via VSCode, there's a notification popping up - Initializing JS/TS language features. The relevant extension to this is probably "TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features". I think I would probably need this extension for intellisense to work properly (unless if any of y'all can suggest any other alternatives).
It takes forever. (It's almost instant if I run VSCode locally)
I think the issue lies on having FileWatcher and DirectoryWatcher taking forever to load for big files/folders such as node_modules.
I would like to exclude node_modules properly. This is what I have tried to implement in ./.vscode/settings.json:
{
"files.watcherExclude": {
"/**/node_modules/*/**": true,
"/**/node_modules": true,
"/home/abc/a/**": true,
"/home/abc/b/node_modules": true,
"/home/abc/b/node_modules/*/**": true
}
}
But according to tsserver.log:
Info 111 [10:34:23.652] DirectoryWatcher:: Added:: WatchInfo: /home/abc/b/node_modules 1 undefined WatchType: node_modules for closed script infos and package.jsons affecting module specifier cache
VSCode is still watching node_modules and it takes decades for the next lines to appear...
After 10 minutes:
Info 112 [11:16:39.533] Elapsed:: 675488.8780369759ms DirectoryWatcher:: Added:: WatchInfo: /home/abc/b/node_modules 1 undefined WatchType: node_modules for closed script infos and package.jsons affecting module specifier cache
What's the approach to properly disabling FileWatcher and DirectoryWatcher for node_modules?
