webview-ui watches too many files to the point my OS ran out of file … #2993
Conversation
…watchers. this should reduce it to only src files whose modification might necessitate rebuilding

I like the careful restriction of watched files in this. But I'm not a fan of switching to polling. |
…ready handles rebuilding when watched files are changed, so we should just need to remove the i18n locales folder from the ignored list. the setupLocaleWatcher was the thing making the dev process consume all the file watchers, but having too many files not ignored definately contributed. can tell because if you look in the web tools console the first file it fails to watch is a vscode config file from outside the entire project folder, which means that it ran out of file watchers before the extension started, but did so gracefully. then the extension tried to setup more watchers (actually necessary ones for config files and settings files and that's when it fails and dev process exits
… in the workspace
… just needed to allow vite to access files outside of its root dir, which includes locales in the src package

the locales files are actually json and they need a build step of copy when changed. there's a lot of them but not so many that it exhausts available watchers, so i removed json from ignore list, and added the path to the i18n locales in src as an allowed path for vite to access outside of its directory structure, then add it to the ignore list with a "!" indicating that it is something that should not be ignored when vite sets up watchers. that should make locales file trigger the build which triggers the copy, or something like that. it's confusing, and GLM wasn't much help |

The webview-ui vite server watches too many files to the point of consuming ALL os file watchers, and when it hits that limit the dev server can't start which means the ui never loads. This change restricts it to only watch files that might potentially require build steps, and switches to polling method to make it less aggressive.
