This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.
[regression] [worked-in:VS 2022 17.1.x] Opening the repo mentioned here https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/2427 with VS 17.2.0 not only yields the well known problems of VS continuously starting pylance and pylance not analyzing files in acceptable time but

in addition _583: warnings almost all of the type "constant X not defined" are issued with the code segments getting highlighted. These warnings are all incorrect as the constants are defined in a separate file and due to the associated code highlighting are rather annoying.

(70484ms) is a really long time. something seems to be misconfigured in your repo. C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2019\Projects\pylancedemo\ai\quick_dominion.py (70484ms)
is the code public?
can you add your logs? see https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/blob/main/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#filing-an-issue
Update report below now using Pylance language server 2022.5.3 and Version 17.3.0 Preview 2.0
As the reported execution time is fluctuates peaks at 4651372ms I have not provided logs. The code is available in a private repo which I made available as requested here https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/3138. Please let me know if I should give access to someone else.
Any improvement in the run time will be appreciated. Most annoying to me is that warning and error messages do not get updated and fixed errors keep getting reported.
The code in quick_dominion.py has an error in line 5704 - "cation" instead of "action"

Makes no sense to fix the undetected issue in 5704 so stopping here
Here's the next thing you can try. Add the following to the settings.json file for your project:
"python.analysis.logLevel": "Trace",
"python.analysis.logTypeEvaluationTime": true,
you should now see much more verbose output.
it might help track down where the time is being spent.
make sure to remove once you get a log
Closing old issue. If this is still a problem, please reopen with the information requested. thanks
