TSLint: Language service execution timeout in WebStorm

Question

I'm currently using WebStorm (2017.2.4) on MacOS Sierra and this pop-up shows up once in a while:

My colleagues and I have exactly the same TSLint config and code style defined in WebStorm. The problem occurs only on my machine.

I've tried to:

• invalided caches and restart
• reinstall node packages and npm

With no success.

have you solved it anyhow? – Steric

I've updated WS, and it seems to work in newer version. Still don't know for sure it was that. Currently have Webstorm (2017.2.5). – Massproduce

Were you using nodenv, by chance? Or another node environment manager? – Guaiacol

I have used nvm – Massproduce

Answer 1

I'm not sure whether this will solve your problem or not.

Enable the plugin in your tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "plugins": [
      { "name": "tslint-language-service"}
    ]
  }
}

The solution is not relevant to the problem. It is obvious, service is actually running, but not responding. – Steric

Answer 2

Probably this is due to a big file being linted. I encountered the same problem while I was running code inspection with WS 2017.3.4 and it showed me the exact file where it came from. It's a TypeScript file with only 8 lines but one of them is soft wrapped like 300 lines.

I put a // tslint:disable on the first line because I anyway didn't need to lint this data file and the problem disappeared.

Of course you could use // tslint:disable-next-line also – Dday
