Too many commands in queue, dropping message #417

Closed RealBuddy closed 5 years ago

RealBuddy commented 5 years ago

Hi Cory, I'm getting this error: [warning:core 23:02:04.464 generator.js:133:30] Photoshop error { id: 4079, body: 'Too many commands in queue, dropping message' }

I guess it comes from this line: https://github.com/adobe-photoshop/generator-core/blob/24a2c4e38aef79adb42869f200778ab52de4ef36/lib/generator.js#L133

Could you give me a clue why it may happen? and How to avoid that? Thank you!

@RealBuddy The underlying connection to Photoshop has a command queue limit (I think 50). If you are writing your own plugin, you should try to throttle the number of commands (especially long-running commands) you send to Photoshop at the same time. I'm aware of one way to encounter this using the generator-assets plugin: trying to export an SVG with a large number of pixel layers.

Thank you for such a quick answer!
