100%+ CPU usage from "Code Helper". #72002

lukasz-formela · 2019-04-09T14:53:58Z

Issue Type: Performance Issue

From my research it can be something about "files.watcherExclude".

After running my VSCode instance ( many files in the folder that I open with it ) the fans start to roll out that 6k RPM and CPU goes to 100% usage.

Try rm -r ~/Library/Caches/TypeScript/3.4 and restarting VS code

There was an issue with styled components and the typescript issue that was causing this to occur. It helped fix the issue for some but not others. It's worth a shot. See #71886 for more info

lukasz-formela · 2019-04-09T15:40:57Z

Was worth a shot but sadly didn't help.
In two minutes after opening VS code it goes to 4th density mode.

I added the suggested temp folder but still there's no change.

steveoon · 2019-04-10T04:19:04Z

the same issue happened on me, macOS 10.14.4, vscode 1.33.0, now I can only use the old version 1.32.3 and disabled the automatic update. Tried "files.watcherExclude" but nothing changed.

soorajvnair · 2019-04-10T05:44:21Z

Yes. Same here. Switched to an insiders build, works fine.

bpasero · 2019-04-10T08:39:58Z

lukasz-formela · 2019-04-10T08:46:22Z

A little additional info: If there is a chance to see what changed with last update (i don't mean changes overall, but to my instancje of vs studio- like a log/historyczne what was added with update). It all started with me updating VS Code. śr., 10.04.2019, 10:41 użytkownik Benjamin Pasero <[email protected]> napisał:

Hey all, I had the same issue after upgrading to version 1.33, but after letting the program run for a little while, the CPU usage is now back to normal.

I'm having the same issue with Version 1.33.0 (1.33.0), MacOS: Version 10.13.6 I am running multiple, but CPU is 133 and spikes to 220 sometimes....

jrieken · 2019-04-15T07:33:47Z

Small update:
Overheating starts when 'Initializing JS/TS language features'.
I'll try to follow @jrieken instructions.

jrieken · 2019-04-15T07:38:41Z

❗️ and everyone update to 1.33.1 first, there has been an issue with TS/JS which might have caused this

A remark: I remember code being stuck with scss files at some point while opening big project.

That sounds reasonable, the CPU profile point to S?CSS parsing and it will then be one your installed extensions (maybe scss-lint). There is nothing we can do here, except asking you file an issue against the extension.

GeorgiosP · 2019-04-17T13:37:29Z

code helper seems to be consuming 100% of cpu with no extensions included. 😕

jrieken · 2019-04-17T14:04:22Z

I am closing this as caused by extension because the only actionable provided information is from @lukasz-formela and the profile showed that this is an extension.

Unfortunately, other me-too-comments without further information aren't actionable.

vscodebot · 2019-04-17T14:04:36Z

This issue is caused by an extension, please file it with the repository (or contact) the extension has linked in its overview in VS Code or the marketplace for VS Code. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
