Stuck on Initializing JS/TS language features

[nfantone]

Issue Type: Bug

After upgrading to 1.54.1 (2021-03-04) some of my workspaces are now permanently stuck on "Initializing JS/TS language features" upon firing VSCode up. I say "some" because I noticed that, for me, it's only happening on monorepos with a nested packages/ directory with multiple package.json files.

• Deleting all node_modules within the project does not solve the issue.
• --disable-extensions does not solve the issue.
• Reverting back to previous VSCode version makes the issue go away.
• CPU and RAM usage seems normal.
• I am using yarn 2.4.1.
• Some of my packages define "exports" in package.json.

Here's the full tsserver.log.

I don't see any obvious errors or warnings in there, though.

Can you share a project that seems to cause this issue? It looks like the server could be freezing because the logs look incomplete

[nfantone]

@mjbvz Ok, while trying to put together a fresh project to reproduce the issue I ended up narrowing it down to certain settings in .vscode/settings.json.

"typescript.disableAutomaticTypeAcquisition": true

As soon as I remove that (or set it to false) and reload Code, the "Initializing JS/TS language features" spinner completes as expected. Leaving it true seems to render tsserver.js completely useless.

I can't reproduce this even with that setting disabled. Can you please share a minimal project that seems to cause this?
