Code Helper Overloads CPU about vscode-live-server HOT 15 CLOSED

Awesome , your right !

The folder node_modules lead to this problem

On MAC the node_modules folder is a normal folder , liverServer watching every file here , however there has tens of thousands of files (different project different size , but always huge numbers)

from vscode-live-server.

Okay! When the issue is started? I meant, on the extension load time? or after clicking to 'go live'?

If it is after clicking to 'go live',
Is the HTML is too big? , please set following setting and look the performance.

"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser" : true,
"liveServer.settings.ignoreFiles": [
          "*",
          "**"
 ] 

[actually i don't have any MAC, on Windows, I am not getting any Performance Issue (If work-space isn't containing large file (eg 100MB)) ]

from vscode-live-server.

my CPU usage is 100% whenever turn on live-server; !!!
Should be fixed ! I am using the lastest ver.

from vscode-live-server.

I am using Windows10. I am not getting high CPU usage or CPU overload as you maintained here. (For

I need few info.

1. Is the HTML page to big in size ?
2. Can you send me screenshot ?
3. What are other extensions installed on your system?
4. Please set the "liveServer.settings.NoBrowser" : true. and now press to "Go Live". Are you still getting the CPU Overload?

from vscode-live-server.

When open liveServer heavy cpu load

For same info

If you need more info you can tell me .

Okay, That's great, Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to add **/node_modules/** as default settings.

from vscode-live-server.

btw, before doing this, let me know, is it working? **/node_modules/** not /node_modules/** ?

from vscode-live-server.

In fact I don't know the different between **/node_modules/** not /node_modules/**

but both of them are ok to fix this problem

Using **/node_modules/** cpu usage is normal too .

from vscode-live-server.

Thanks again 😄 .

Actually,
node_modules/** means node_modules directory starting from root.

• e.g. :
  if your work-space root is /usr/project/
/usr/project/node_modules/files => passed.
  /usr/project/subfolder/node_modules/files => failed.

**/node_modules/** any directory named node_modules.

• e.g. :
  if your work-space root is /usr/project/
/usr/project/node_modules/files => passed.
  /usr/project/subfolder/node_modules/files => passed.

Got it ！ Thanks

from vscode-live-server.

This issue is resolved in v2.2.1. Please update the extension. - AND no need to set explicit setting for **/node_modules/** for it.

I'm now closing this issue. Let me know if it's resolved for you or not. 😄

Latest version shows as 1.18 -> https://code.visualstudio.com/download

And I'm running latest (1.18.1)

Yet, my CPU is 134% ( thanks to CodeHelper ) and mac fan is always on now -- which is a new phenomenon.

What steps do I need to do to kill/by pass this CodeHelper?

from vscode-live-server.

Can confirm this still appears to be an issue on 1.41.1. Closing VSCode does not end the task either for some odd reason, got to force quit.

from vscode-live-server.

Confirming this is still an issue on 6/1.

from vscode-live-server.

My CPU usage is over 400% ....
