I've been trying to use this VSCode extension for years now. At first it had major memory leak issues (I reported these). I believe these to mostly be resolved. I then decided to give it another shot and have spent a few months using it and I must say, it's very frustrating.

It's just too slow. You can make a change and then you have to wait around 5 seconds for it to reparse all the code and update the file. It doesn't always do this. But it's quite frequent. Sometimes it never updates too. It'll report something like "Call to unknown method", when in fact it's not. The method call is perfectly fine. It's like the cache never gets updated.

I don't know what other objectives there are with this extension, or what the overall goals are for it. But to say that this is the most important issue is an understatement. This is a pre-requisite. You guys need to drop everything else you're doing and fix this. Until then, it's not usable and I'll be switching back to Intelliphense again. I don't even know if I'll give this extension another shot, to be honest.

It's running on an M1 Max, which is very fast. It's not a resources issue.

    jacob Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it. We're unaware of such an issue, so I'll be happy to replicate it and make it work as expected.

    The code is re-parsed immediately, but updating some features is delayed, sometimes by VSCode itself, sometimes by us by purpose.

    Specifically, updating problems is delayed ~ 1 second after the user stops modifying the code. It is a 10-year-old decision, so maybe it's time to re-think this.

    May I ask for a few more details about your codebase?

    • would you have a video/gif of the behavior?
    • how many lines of code in the edited document (we have a work-in-progress issue if the file is significantly large)

        Hi, I confirm, I have the same issue since maybe 3 or 4 releases.
        Sometime it keep old code in memory too, sometime it takes time to check errors.

        Few weeks ago I did not have these issues at all.

          No, I don't have Laravel framework.
          I have Symfony framework in vendor folder and another libraries but in fact I don't use them a lot.
          I don't use MVC or anything else because my project is a CLI project, so It is not a WEB project.

          I develop a lot of custom classes and unit tests with PHPUnit.
          I can debug different things for you if needed.

            This is the details for my project:

              @Jean-FrancoisHIVERT thank you! I appreciate your help.

              We've implemented Laravel/Symfony features that should not affect performance, but most probably it does in this case.

              • CPU and MEM seem alright
              • TIME+ is the run time right, not the total CPU time?

              I'll prepare a debug info that may provide additional information.
