Atom freezing for 10 minutes (while building type information?)

[rcollette]

Atom is freezing on me for about 10 minutes when I open a project and do the following actions. (i7 processor, windows 7)

In the project directory here:
https://github.com/rcollette/RequireAngularTS/tree/master/RequestAngularTS.Web

When I open a .ts file from the project, atom starts using about 6-7%cpu.

I tried a tsconfig.json file with just {} in it. I typed angular. got no typeahead after typing the period, then backspaced and atom froze. It was running at a steady 6%.

I then used the following config to attempt to narrow down the list of files, in case it was looking at too much.

{
    "compilerOptions": {},
    "filesGlob": [
        "./**/*.ts",
        "!./node_modules/**/*.ts"
    ],
}

It froze again after typing in angular. and then backspacing but it did update the list of files so the config now looks like:

{
    "compilerOptions": {},
    "filesGlob": [
        "./**/*.ts",
        "!./node_modules/**/*.ts"
    ],
    "files": [

I've added a tsconfig.json file to your project. Would be great to debug that project with you. I am on gitter if you want to chat : https://gitter.im/TypeStrong/atom-typescript?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge

[basarat]

Working off of that PR branch, I am unable to experience the same as you can see.

[rcollette]

Once, the 10 minute period is up, I do get the typeahead like you have shown. It's the initial start up time that takes a while. Sorry I didn't see your post about gitter. I probably went to sleep just after I posted. I'm on EST (GMT-5)

[basarat]

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought it was "after 10 minutes it becomes slow" whereas you meant "its slow for the first 10 minutes". So now:

For me its quite fast and near instantaneous once atom boots up as you can see in the near realtime gif here :

It does need to read the entire project filesystem. I see around 100ms delay here and not much more. Also all this work in the background so it shouldn't freeze the UI.

• Are you working off the local file system or network?

[rcollette]

I am working off the local filesystem. After adding in the tsconfig that you provided, I am not getting any typeahead at all, not even for the built in types it seems. It's taking a little longer now to lock up but eventually it freezes. In the attached gif, it locks up the very end when you see "dd" in my typing. The video loops and it may appear as though I backspaced out the dd but that is the end of the responsiveness of the UI.

A bit later I got a pop up that said

Editor is not responding
The editor is not responding.   Would you like to force close it or just keep waiting?

[rcollette]

This may be of more use. It appears that maybe there is a deadlock since all processes are running and then suddenly everything stops and only one process is spinning?

[basarat]

I am on gitter again. Can you open up the atom dev tools ctrl+shift+i to see if anything bad is happening that gets logged there?

[rcollette]

I've registered but haven't used it before. Not sure how to get you privately.

You can't get me privately. But we chat in the room https://gitter.im/TypeStrong/atom-typescript. No one gets a notification unless they explicitly asked for it (like I have for this particular room) or the get @ mentioned e.g. @basarat

[basarat]

@rcollette your log shows that there were no errors.

[basarat]

@rcollette message me when in the room (so that people that are watching this project for source code don't get chat like messages ❤️ )

[basarat]

Suspect this will be take care of by #183 Fix coming with v1 once #179 is merged.

[rcollette]

Great. #183 sounds very similar to what I am experiencing. Still have not had time to do fresh install and test.
