Library file skipped due to size limit.

[twoco]

I cannot use the love2d library due to file size limit of love.graphics.

I use the Lua extention with this config:

{
  "Lua.runtime.version": "LuaJIT",
  "Lua.diagnostics.globals": ["love", "lldebugger"],
  "Lua.workspace.library": ["${3rd}/love2d/library"],
  "Lua.workspace.checkThirdParty": false
}

But I get errors / warnings that graphics does not exist on love. But e.g. love.audio works. What's wrong?

.vscode\extensions\sumneko.lua-2.6.0\server\meta\3rd\love2d\library\love.lua

On vs code restart I get a notification:

.vscode\extensions\sumneko.lua-2.6.0\server\meta\3rd\love2d\library\love.graphics.lua skipped. The currently set size limit is: 100 KB, and the file size is: 139.979 KB.

Is this just a setting that needs editing or a technical / fixed limit? From this extention or vscode itself?

Fixed by setting: "Lua.workspace.preloadFileSize": 1000 src Consider to set default to e.g. 200 kb? And / or make a note of it in the documentation / getting started.

I agree with @twoco, this should really be something that is documented as when the size limit is reached, the language server does not provide complete functionality. While that is fine, documenting how to update the size limit is important. Users should not be expected to search the source code to establish how to set this
