nvim freezes while building

[colinmarc]

Hi, thanks for the great plugin!

I'm using tuist, and I've noticed that when I run tuist build, nvim freezes up for 5-10 seconds. It happens whenever tuist gets to the stage Copying build products to....

I'm happy to debug more, but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks in advance for any pointers!

How do you call it? Just :!tuist build? Commands launched this way are blocking, you can't do anything while it's running.

[colinmarc]

Thanks for the quick response!

No, I'm running it from a terminal. So it must be something triggered by detecting the file changes. Note that the build dir is under .gitignore.

Observer processes and see what's taking resources, maybe it will lead to some conclusions. If not, then probably it would be better to ask in Tuist repository, I haven't been using it for a long time, so I'm not up-to-date.

I'll continue to try and debug, thanks. I think it's this plugin or the swift lsp causing problems, though - I'm not maxed out on CPU or anything and the rest of my computer is perfectly responsive, it's just nvim that freezes.

I don't think it could be the plugin, because it doesn't track anything and doesn't perform any operations in the background. Bigger chance that it's something LSP related.

You could try disabling LSP for all buffers and repeat test then.

not sure if it's related,
but if you use SourceKit of Xcode 16, then it's broken and could end up freeing the device.
swiftlang/sourcekit-lsp#1541

i reported this to Apple, and they fixed it, my solution was to replace the SourceKit inside Xcode 16 with the one of Xcode 15

I'm closing it because it doesn't seem connected with the plugin. If you wish, you may continue the discussion in "Discussions" instead of "Issues"

I was able to fix it by placing the build directory in /tmp. Still not sure on the cause. 🤷 Thanks for the help!
