PHP Language Server never stops parsing files

[johnbillion]

I have a project which contains around 38,000 files. 8,500 of them are .php files. The PHP Language Server is stuck in a loop parsing the PHP files, and does not complete.

Watching the Output of the PHP Language Server, it appears to parse all of the files but then starts again at the first directory in the project, with no additional output other than Parsing <file>.

What can I do to help debug this problem? I've had to disable the extension on this project as it's eating up my CPU :-)

There is one error that appears in the developer console:

extensionHost.ts:282 [Extension Host] TypeError: Return value of LanguageServer\DefinitionResolver::resolveExpressionNodeToType() must implement interface phpDocumentor\Reflection\Type, null returned in /Users/john/.vscode/extensions/felixfbecker.php-intellisense-1.1.3/vendor/felixfbecker/language-server/src/DefinitionResolver.php:445

@felixfbecker This is still happening, updated version and #311 does not fix this.

[rinasek]

I can confirm that this is still happening. I can bake a pizza on my laptop.

In my case, the parsing of php files stopped by disabling PHP IntelliSense extension

[egiesem]

In my case, the parsing of php files stopped by disabling PHP IntelliSense extension

that's true

[robrecord]

I disabled PHP intellisense and it fixed the issue.

[jonathanslater]

yep, uninstall php intellisense extension. it doesn't work properly.

[markusantonwolf]

That's right -> in my case I had to uninstall the php intellisense extension to stop endless parsing...

[TylerBarnes]

I'm not sure if this is helpful for this issue but there is a setting to lower the memory limit for the php language server. It's set to 4gb by default. If your computer doesn't have a lot of ram, you probably want to lower that.

[GBeushausen]

I also still have this issue. And it's creating dozens (9000+) of totally wrong error messages.

[almarrr]

I have it since a few hours, it worked perfectly for months.
