How to Initiate Project "Scan"?

DonaldWinston

Sometimes I'd like to tell devsense to perform a scan of my project files again. It appears to only do this when you open a new window in VSCode. Occasionally if I don't wait for it to finish scanning before editing a file it will fail to get all the necessary data and flag numerous lines of code that are perfectly fine. At the moment I have to close the window and open it again and patiently wait for it to completely finish scanning before opening a file.

DonaldWinston thank you for the question.

Files should be indexed automatically only when they're changed. The initial scan is indicated in the VSCode status bar (bottom left).

We should not flag until indexing is finished - I'll take a look on that.

To update flagged lines, you can turn it off and on again. Use the command (from VSCode Command Palette) PHP: Background Code Analysis:

and choose "none" and then again with "opened".
