Auto Indexing continues to work after disableIndexing

[Karl-Han]

Platform: macOS 13.0.1 (22A400) VSCode Version: 1.75.1 Plugin Version: v0.13.3

Here is my configuration related to SystemVerilog Extension:

    "systemverilog.formatCommand": "verible-verilog-format --indentation_spaces 4",
    "systemverilog.disableIndexing": true,
    "systemverilog.compileOnSave": false,

With customized formatCommand, I can confirm that this configuration is loaded by SystemVerilog, but every time I switch to another file or other panel and switch back, SystemVerilog will automatically indexing the current file, which is not what I expected with systemverilog.disableIndexing.

I want to disable indexing and use Control Palette to index by demand. Is this a bug or my configuration is wrong?

If memory serves me correctly. The disableIndexing setting will prevent the workspace from being crawled for sv files that you may not have opened yet. Files are always indexed on open.

Is there a command that exists today that let's you manually trigger the indexing, or are you requesting that feature too?

Actually, from your expression, I think I got the meaning of disableIndexing wrong.

systemverilog.disableIndexing: Boolean, Disable indexing

I thought it means disable global indexing by looking into README. If it is possible, I like to request for that global indexing disable feature :), since it is friendly to computation resource.

Hi @Karl-Han, After looking into implementing this, I think there is already a setting for it. Will the systemverilog.enableIncrementalIndexing setting do what you are hoping?

"systemverilog.enableIncrementalIndexing": {
    "type": "boolean",
    "default": true,
    "description": "Enable incremental indexation as you open files."
},

After configuring this option, it works as expected without automatic indexing.
