Loading document symbols for ... never completes

[JSchrempp]

I have a problem where the Outline pane in Visual Studio Code says “Loading document symbols for <my code file> …” and never completes.

Google searching has old reports of this but then it was fixed. Some reports that other extensions can cause this, but I’m running very few extensions. In fact I think they all came in the default install from Particle.

Is anyone else seeing this? Any hints on how to force the Outline pane to complete?

I’m running VSC 1.40.2 on OS X Catalina.

I did find this, not sure if it applies, but suggests disabling C/C++ Intellisense. Unfortunately Particle extensions depend on this one.

Issue: Extension hangs if a child process causes "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

I am not a VSE expert, so I don’t know if this really applies or not.

can you try the troubleshooting steps detailed here?

Intellisense: Report Issues Here

hello particle workbench user as you’ve no doubt learned, intellisense can be a bit finicky - it’ll flag non-issues in the “Problems” tab, report missing headers, etc. rest assured, if your code compiles you can ignore intellisense’s errors. still, that’s not a UX we’re happy with so help us track down any lingering issues by reporting them here before posting, here are some trouble-shooting steps you can try to get things back in shape as well as instructions on what info to incl…

fwiw, the Outline pane should work when using more recent versions of the Device OS (e.g. deviceOS@1.4.4)
