Indexing never ends

#1

Hi, I have one Sublime Text window where indexing never ends. I’m pasting the indexing status window just to get an idea:

It’s been like this for days so I think it’s stuck. Anything I can do to help you debug why?

Same here. It uses huge amounts of CPU and never ends so I was forced to disable indexing completely.

But since I find it one of the most powerful features of Sublime I really want to re-enable it.

How can I fix it?

Do you happen to have files in your project that keep updating? If yes, you might want to exclude them from. the index by specifying an exclude or binary pattern for those.

thanks for your reply! I excluded one extra folder (cache) and now am at the point like this:

indexing [job 263]: spawning 1 workers to process 1 / 1 files
indexing [job 263]: indexed 1 files
indexing [job 264]: spawning 1 workers to process 1 / 1 files
indexing [job 264]: indexed 1 files

:slight_smile:

so much better but still not perfect. is there a way to see which files are up to be indexed so I can exclude further?
