Vscode: Intellisense shows loading indefinitely

[Ansal-Khan]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Open a project in visual studio code(React).
   2.Try intellisense suggestion before doing npm install (Without node modules)
   3.You can find the intellisense working perfectly.
   4.Do npm install (add node modules) then try intellisense.
   5.You can see it stuck at the loading text. no matter how much time you give.

This one have same effect even with all extensions deisabled.

The same issue, and version info:

Version: 1.41.1 (user setup)

Reopen the vscode will work correctly for minutes, and then Intellisense break down and always show loading text when you hover any code.

I think the issue is with the version of vs code, and this is how I resolved it.

I removed vs code completely. even deleted the files in the following locations
%userprofile%.vscode
%userprofile%AppDataRoamingCode
Then uninstalled VSCode.

Finally installed VSCode v 1.40.2
Also disabled auto update.
Now it works fine.

Thanks, I will try it.

I just uninstall v1.41.1 and turn back to v1.40.2, and everything get back to normal.

I have the same issue, is there any other ways to solving

Same issue here. IntelliSense auto imports stopped working randomly while working on a project.

Windows 10.0.18363
Visual Studio Code 1.41.1

Rolling back to 1.40.2 fixed the issue.

@Ansal-Khan Is your code stored somewhere besides the c: drive?

@Ansal-Khan Is your code stored somewhere besides the c: drive?

My code resides in a separate disk.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. My project folder is on a separate drive, but the path to it has a symlink back to my C: drive for convenience. Could this be the source of the problem?

To be clear, I made it so that C:\Users\Me\Source links to E:\Users\Me\Source, which is where I actually store my source code for all my projects. I open my project folder with the symlink path that starts with C:

Edit: If I open the dev tools, I also get errors from workbench.desktop.main.js complaining about files not being found.

Edit2: Opening the folder from the path on my E: drive seems to fix the problem for now.

To workaround this, upgrade your workspace to use typescript@next by installing this extension
