Inconsistent: Solution does not load

[raghuAtRA]

Describe the bug**

With v5.7.3 Ionide will initialize maybe once every 4 times; Otherwise, the solution is not recognized has having F# projects and no F# load happens Reverting to 5.7.0 seems to fix it.

Expected behaviour

F# solution/projects always load

I have the same issue. Reverting to 5.7.1 seems to fix it.

I have the same issue on both computers I use. When I start VS Code to re-open my last project, about 3 times out of 4 the Ionide FSharp button fails to appear in the left sidebar. So I close VS Code and try again, but it takes 3 or 4 goes before the button appears. It has been like this for a few weeks now.

OS: Pop!_OS 21.04 (Linux) Ionide-fsharp: v5.8.1

While trying to reproduce #1606, I had this issue as well. Although, I seem to have better luck than you folks: it works about half the time.

Some more observations.. None of them happen 100% - just with very high correlation. Obviously, there's a race issue somewhere in the bootup

1. Typically a reload (After any extension update) will result in f# not initializing
2. (Pre vscode 1.62) - mouse/kbd actitity on startup will often cause F# ionide not to initialize
3. (pre vscode 1.62) - If you open on to a unsaved buffer with F# code, this would also cause ionide not to initialize.

This am, vscode got updated - and at least 2 and 3 are much harder to reproduce now - but it's still early. Have others seen similar behavior?

This use to be an occasional nuisance, but as of late I sometimes have to reload 10+ times to get Ionide to load.

After some more time, I think the above is no longer correct - the VS Code not loading F# solution in Ionide is happening as often as ever

Yeah - can second that :(. one more thing that seems to have changed is that a lot of times even when the project does load, the references/lang server seems broken...(!!MISSING: command!! in code lens)

+1 on this. I ran into this by opening the FsAutoComplete solution in Codespaces, which should be a pristine environment each time. Multiple refreshes and the LS would not start up.

I also having the same issue and by reloading the "Developer: Reload window" works, so no need to restart the vscode.

Hi guys,

I have been fairly unlucky lately trying to get some work done on Linux, It has happened before and then some updates fixed it. So far 2 separate computers, both with fairly fresh Ubuntu 20.04. Configuration is below. I have to say that the problem reproduces with a fairly large solution having about 20 projects. It never reproduces if I create a new console app. Same solution used to work an update ago (but I don't remember what version I had and I tried 5.10.2 and 5.10.1 with not much joy). It also works perfectly on MacOS

Logs (Log/Extension) don't show anything that could be related.

One thing is when I try to clear project cache I get this [error] TypeError: Invalid attempt to spread non-iterable instance. In order to be iterable, non-array objects must have a Symbol.iterator method. but I guess that may be because my projects have not loaded.

Understanding this is a bit of a hot topic, since it has its own tag, I will really appreciate some help in perhaps enabling more verbose logging in an attempt to help debugging it. Unf JavaScript/TypeScript is not on the list of my stromg skills.
