VSCode stuck 'Loading workspace' on my AL Project

Posted on by jdrco 485

Hello, I am experience weird behavior on my VSCode AL project after I turned on App Source cop, Code cop, and UI cop. Before VSCode would show the errors I was working on right away, but now it has been stuck on 'Loading workspace:  : Preparing project: 'PROJECT_NAME'' for over 10 mins now. (Before it would be fast)

What can I do here?

    Hi, I usually restart VS Code when this kind of problem occurs. If it still can't be solved, I will reinstall AL Language and it will usually be fixed.
    Although not very useful suggestions , hope to give you some hints.

    Thanks.

    Hi jdrco ,

    I am also facing this issue, when VS code startup this small dialog comes on the right hand corner below of the screen and for me it takes only 2-3 mins, but not 10 mins, if its over 10 mins for you, I would suggest just try to restart the AL code or system, or may be reinstall the AL code, and then try again.

    I also experienced the problem that the AL workspace didn't load.

    A bit before this problem occurred I changed the "publisher" property in the "app.json" file.

    After I changed it again the project loaded fine. And I was able to change the "publisher" freely again.

    This solution to simply change the "app.json", might generally help with the loading problem.
