VSCode：编译后冻结

Question

I tried to compile VSCode source for the first time ever, I ran the "yarn run watch" command and eventually the compilation finished with the message "Finished Compilation with 0 errors" but then the console just gets stuck there. I tried using different consoles but still facing the same problem.

Answer 1

I killed the process and had no later problems using VS Code from this build.

In the directory where vscode was cloned, I checked with du -s that nothing was changing over a few minutes of testing will the logging was stopped on your message above.

Having stopped yarn run watch I then carried out the next instruction of the build process: yarn watch .

This also hung with the same message. I used du again. And again there was no change in the size of the directory. I stopped yarn watch and was then able to run vscode, editing files without a problem.

Answer 2

All custom commands like watch that you can yarn run are defined in the file package.json in the project root. In this case, it's package.json on Github . Even before looking at it, I assumed from the name that what the command does is probably to build once and then go into a loop that watches for new changes and then rebuilds. In the section called scripts of package.json we see that watch is defined to be gulp watch --max_old_space_size=4095 . Google gulp watch, and you'll see that that's what it does.

I think you're looking for yarn run compile , which the vscode team setup to build the project once and then exit.
