VSCode stuck 'Loading workspace' on my AL Project

Posted on by jdrco 481

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?

I have the same question (0)

    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.

    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.

    Please refer the below link if you are using Docker.

    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.
