Vscode-terraform: Exclude .terragrunt-cache path from indexing

[khartahk]

I'm using terragrunt with terraform and it creates a lot of copies of *.tf files under .terragrunt-cache folder. Those are then being indexed and consume a lot of CPU as the projects are quite large. How can I exclude the path from being indexed?

[mauve]

there is a setting for that called something like
terraform.indexing.exclude or something like that

Thank you. I didn't know that copying the json config string in VS Code could hold an array of settings. I've copied indexing and I got the entire object and I the added .terragrunt-cache to be excluded next to .terraform:

"terraform.indexing": {
    "enabled": true,
    "liveIndexing": true,
    "delay": 500,
    "exclude": [
        ".terraform/**/*",
        "**/.terraform/**/*",
        ".terragrunt-cache/**/*",
        "**/.terragrunt-cache/**/*"
    ]
}

It would be nice if all the config options were available in the documentation or it was mentioned you can copy the json object in VS Code settings for the extension :)

No matter what I put in it doesn't exclude anything. Even If I put * it still indexes everything.

This finally worked:

"exclude": [
    ".terraform/**/*",
    "**/.terraform/**/*",
    ".terragrunt-cache/**/*",
    "**/.terragrunt-cache/**/*",
    ".terragrunt-cache/**/.terraform/**/*",
    "**/.terragrunt-cache/**/.terraform/**/*"
]

the **/* glob does not cover .DIR type dirs.

Also

".**/*",
"**/.**/*"

does not work.

which version do you have of the plugin? a recent release fixed a bug
which consumed CPU even for ignored files.

Version 1.3.9

Thanks @khartahk for posting the exclude patterns. That works! Had to add this to a couple of other plugins too. My VSC was running hot whenever I starteed terragrunt.

We just released v2.0.0-rc.1 of the extension. The main features include:

• Added syntax support for 0.12
• Added terraform-ls usage by default (currently on 0.3.0, which offers basic provider code completion)

You can find additional information and specifics in the release notes and CHANGELOG.

With this release we expect that many of the prior issues and PRs are no longer relevant or have been addressed, and are therefore being closed. If you feel the action taken on an issue or PR is in error, please comment as such and we can figure out the appropriate way to address it.

We plan to add the final 2.0.0 release to the marketplace soon, but are actively seeking your feedback now on the release candidates. You can download the .vsix from the releases page and manually install it in VS Code to try it out.
