VSCode extension is high on CPU usage

[FrikkieSnyman]

Current Behavior

The VSCode extension for NX Console is utilising >100% CPU, constantly. When investigating what are behind these heavy pids, it is:

• /extensions/nrwl.angular-console-18.24.1/nxls/main.js
• /extensions/nrwl.angular-console-18.21.4/nxls/main.js

It also seems that these processes continue to run regardless of killing VSCode or disabling the NX extension.

As a result, this significantly drains battery life when using vsc with the NX console extension.

Expected Behavior

Less CPU usage.

Steps to Reproduce

• Install NX Console VSCode extension
• Open directory in VSC that is a NX monorepo

CPU usage in Activity Monitor

After killing those processes:

Environment

• Nx Console version: 18.24.1
• VSCode version: 1.91.0
• OSX: Sonoma 14.5

Hello!
Thanks for the report. Yes I've seen this too, I think it's an issue that pops up when the process is left running overnight and something happens... I haven't been able to track it down yet.
I will work on a solution asap. Thanks for your patience.

Just to add to this report, I'm also seeing the same issue when left open for a while.

I'm also having it crash the Typescript language server outright a lot. I had to disable the extension entirely.

[MaxKless]

could you add your nx report and some details about your workspace? size for example.

I have the same issue. Macbook M1

[jeroenhoebe]

Having the same issue on a M1 Pro. Plus I notice that when stopping a task the node process in the activity monitor is still left running. Refreshing the workspace does clear them up again.

[duwejeferson]

Just to add to this report, I'm also seeing the same issue when left open for a while.

I'm also having it crash the Typescript language server outright a lot. I had to disable the extension entirely.

I'm having issues with TS lang server either, always have to disable the extension when finished using it.

[MaxKless]

please double check that you're on the latest nx console version, we've just released some fixes for the ts language server.
If it still happens for you, please create a new issue though, let's keep this one focused on the language server problems

[demirtasdurmus]

I have the same issue. Macbook M1

Me too. I had to uninstall the extension lately as it slows down the editor.

[MaxKless]

@demirtasdurmus can you provide some logs from the Nx Language Server outputs? Right now I have little to go on in regards to your issues.
