Description

Once Continue starts to index my Unity project tens of thousands of error messages occur:

console.ts:137 [Extension Host] Error reading file Unknown (FileSystemError) (FileSystemError): Error: EMFILE: too many open files, open 'c:\src\UnityTestBed\Library\PackageCache\[email protected]\Documentation~\TextMeshPro.md.meta'

After about 20K-30K errors I start getting this instead:

Shortly indexing grinds to a halt and it stops at 25%. My SSD is at 80% load. Continue doesn't seem to respond to anything. I've tried a different embeddingsProvider and rebuilt the index five times but that didn't help.

Note: I created a .continueignore file hoping to reduce the number of files it loads (I tested it with git check-ignore), but Continue seems to ignore it! Bare in mind, a tiny Unity project like mine is typically no less than 50K files!

sample.continueignore.txt

My config:

{
  "models": [
    {
      "title": "Codestral 22b",
      "provider": "ollama",
      "model": "codestral-22b-4k:latest"
    },
    {
      "title": "Clive/Codestral 22b",
      "provider": "ollama",
      "model": "codestral-22b-4k-clive:latest"
    }
  ],
  "customCommands": [
    {
      "name": "test",
      "prompt": "{{{ input }}}\n\nWrite a comprehensive set of unit tests for the selected code. It should setup, run tests that check for correctness including important edge cases, and teardown. Ensure that the tests are complete and sophisticated. Give the tests just as chat output, don't edit any file.",
      "description": "Write unit tests for highlighted code"
    }
  ],
  "tabAutocompleteModel": {
    "title": "Codestral 22b",

  }
}

To reproduce

1. Download a random Unity project from github. Like this one: https://github.com/SikPang/Unity_VampireSurvivors_Copy
2. Load it into VS Code + Continue
3. Observe

Note: Normally you need to install Unity in order to generate all of the files extra files. Developers are suppose to strip out the generated folders using .gitignore, but the project I linked above forgot to do this. It is a good snapshot of a typical Unity project under development. It will take a while to download. This means you don't need to install Unity to reproduce the problem. It just won't compile.

Log output
