Seeing CPU Spike for code helper once clicking go live about vscode-live-server

[ritwickdey]

Ok! Try a settings on the Node.js and/or laravel project.

"liveServer.settings.NoBrowser" : true,
"liveServer.settings.ignoreFiles": [
          "*",
          "**"
 ] 

[NOTE : IT WILL DISABLE LIVE RELOAD.]

Now what about the CPU usage?

if it works, now for Node.JS project, try this

"liveServer.settings.ignoreFiles": [
          "**/node_modules/**"
 ] 

Is this works for Node.js ? (Though I excluded this folder from b9cdc13 ), just give a try and let me know.

This issue seems like #26

A TEST (I don't have MAC, so I need your feedback) :

Create a simple HTML project
And start the live server and check cpu usages .

If you want to help in regarding this issue @bestvow.

Please tell me your live server version.

I tested the plain html file and the cpu usage stayed normal low usage. It seems to have been only on projects utilizing laravel and node js for me.

As for my version of live server extension I currently have 3.0.0 as that is the latest one I see in the extensions market tab.

I attempted a laravel and node project and while the usage decreased, it went from 140-160 to 16-130. If there was an update pushed out, I may not have access to it cause there was no updates when I opened code.

...And, where all the dependencies for laravel project are stored (by composer package manager) ? [I DON'T KNOW]

"liveServer.settings.ignoreFiles": [
          "**/<THE FOLDER NAME>/**"
 ] 

Give a try this also.

Manual ignore the file that you don't need to live reload , such as node_modules folder.
About to your PHP project , you can analyze the project dependencies file and ignore it.
Most possible lead to overload your cpu may the laravel frame files.
The more files need to watch and reload the more cpu utilization percentage increase.
(Sorry for my terrible english syntax)

I have tried implementing your settings and still it is staying around 140 to 150. Tried ignoring just about every folder/file as well.

@bestvow Please try with newly released version. I have check code helper in a node.js project. It's working fine here. I am closing this issue if you faced the same issue with the latest version reopen it. Thank you
