Type: Bug

I always get an error message like the title of this report whenever I run Visual Studio Code on an Express.js project with TypeScript. I don't know if this is because of my Visual Studio Code or because of the Extension I installed.

Does it work for you with vscode insiders edition? Might be related to Node version 18.17.1

[myusril]

@davidmatter I don't know about the vscode insider version. But do you think I need to upgrade my Node.js version to version 20?

[davidmatter]

Try running your project with https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/
The relevant node version is the one that vscode ships with.

[myusril]

@davidmatter All right. I'll try to run my project using vscode insider edition

hi @davidmatter i have this same issue and this error doesn't happen with insiders, how does that help?
Also, if i use insiders the problem is that eslint stops working properly (takes forever to apply auto-fixes)

I tried completely purging vscode from my mac and disabling all extensions and this error still occurs.

I have a yarn monorepo that uses TS for several packages, any ideas?

[davidmatter]

If it's a large project you can try to fiddle with this setting typescript.tsserver.maxTsServerMemory

[davidmatter]

AFAIK, in the current insider version they've updated the node version to the current LTS. That might help with memory usage. Might need to wait until they've stabilized and shipped the insider version. Maybe increasing maxTsServerMemory helps, though.

it's big in deed, but for now the link to the yarn repo issue with the fix abotu disabling the tsserver feature helped :)
I wish i had found that before purging vscode without correctly backing up my settings though lol

[davidmatter]

Why disable? I'd just increase it to 4GB which is the max size AFAIK

just tried and it still crashes: "typescript.tsserver.maxTsServerMemory": 4096" i have 16gb of ram in total
