Compiler hangs if mapped network drive added to workspace and exclude list doesn't help
I have a couple of folders in my VS Code workspace which are located on remote server mapped as network drive (built-in Windows feature). On such setup compiler just hangs on "Watching..." after I press "Watch Sass" button. Moreover - my Sass files are located on my local computer - I don't really need to compile something on remote server. If I remove network folders then it works fine. Obviously, network folders cause it to hang somehow. May be it traverses those folders, and since they are network, it takes forever and a day to complete their inspection.
I was hoping that exclude list (liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList option) will help me since I don't really need to compile something on remote server, just my local files. My server is mapped as W: disk so I added the following option:
"liveSassCompile.settings.excludeList": [ "W:/**" ]
But it didn't help. It still hangs on compile. And it still works if I remove network paths from the workspace. Looks like exclude path feature works AFTER full path inspection, not before. Any chance to fix that?
This extension is no longer maintained, you should try my fork (which is also available on the VS marketplace). Ref: #486
I don't think you'll have this problem with my fork. I've done a lot of code updating/maintenance and also switched to fdir for file checks (which is blazingly fast)
