The PHP Language Server server crashed 5 times in the last 3 minutes. The server will not be restarted.

The PHP Language Server doesn't work anymore, I'm getting this error :

PHP Fatal error: Method AdvancedJsonRpc\ErrorResponse::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught TypeError: Return value of AdvancedJsonRpc\Message::__toString() must be of the type string, boolean returned in C:\Users\Alexandre.vscode\extensions\felixfbecker.php-intellisense-1.3.0\vendor\felixfbecker\language-server\src\Protocol\Message.php on line 0

[felixfbecker]

Could you give steps how to reproduce?

[alex-pex]

I'm on a Symfony 3 project (api-platform based) on Windows, with PHP 7.0.16
It crashes as soon as I open the project

[Info - 17:57:09] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info - 17:57:11] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info - 17:57:13] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Info - 17:57:15] Connection to server got closed. Server will restart.
[Error - 17:57:16] Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted.

With a new api-platform project it is working fine. I don't know if I have a bad php-language cache. How can I clear it ?
Maybe I can var_dump the message directly in php-language extension code, to get more details ?

I would attach a debugger, but I can't debug it without having the code that causes this.

I'm getting the error because php-language server try to parse my node modules. The server starts if I remove my node_modules folder.

[jens1o]

Could we get the repository, or at least what node modules you have installed in that workspace?

[alex-pex]

I can't give you the repository (private sources) but I can give you the package.json :

{
  "name": "api",
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "aglio": "^2.3.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "drakov": "^1.0.1",
    "dredd": "^2.2.5"
  }
}

[felixfbecker]

@alex-pex please see other issues with node_modules https://github.com/felixfbecker/php-language-server/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=node_modules

[alex-pex]

#159 could fix my problem, given php intellisense should read files.exclude setting + php.excludeFiles (with {"**/node_modules": true"} by default). I'll post a comment on the related issue.

[felixfbecker]

Does this still happen with the newest version?

[alex-pex]

Yes it does

[felixfbecker]

So this thread actually contains two errors, one is related to too long node_modules path and can be fixed by upgrading npm to >=3. Your original error not. Which one are you getting? I need code that I can reproduce the problem with (even if it's a set of dependencies), otherwise I am afraid I cannot look into this

[alex-pex]

You're right : it's a different error now. I tried the same package.json on a vanilla api-platform project and the server runs.

I'll try to build a fake project to show the error.

[alex-pex]

I've found the issue : I was using a npm-shrinkwrap generated from an old npm version. With a new one (generated from npm@4) I don't have the issue.

Do you still want project sources to see the previous issue, or do you consider this as SOLVED?

[felixfbecker]

Solved
