Incredibly Slow Startup

[Llnski]

Summary

Incredibly long plugin load time, my computer is more than capable of of running the plugin.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Install Plugin
2. Start Vscode

Expected result

Reasonable start-up time, Vscode developers have acknowledged that a plugin with 2400 ms start-up time is ridiculous, Salesforce takes more than a minute to start-up.

Actual result

Salesforce Extension Version in VS Code: Most Recent

SFDX CLI Version: 1.82.0

OS and version: Windows 10, 10.0.19045

Hello @Llnski! Can you specify which version of the extensions you're running?

[Llnski]

v58.2.0 @CristiCanizales

[anantagarwal2002]

For me, it always takes more than 4 min to load this extension(latest version) in vscode. I can see in extension log that it tries to load couple of extensions in background every min which started after 2 min. It would be good to get basic work started so that we can start the activity.

Can we kindly have an official response to this issue? Many of us are facing daily performance issues, slow startups and unresponsiveness. Thanks

[Llnski]

The reviews for this extension on the Vscode marketplace are littered with more reports of this issue.

I can back this up. This really slows down my development time when trying to jump right on a problem and have to wait minutes for my full environment to load.

[laszlo-foldi-attentioncrm]

This is getting ridiculous... Can anyone from the project team respond to this issue?

[CristiCanizales]

Hello! We have this issue in our backlog, but there are some other things with deadlines for which we need to work on first! Sorry for the inconveniences this might be causing you and thank you again for your patience.

Painfully slow for me too

[DC-ICT]

5-10 minutes to load all SFDX extensions for me.

bump, because this problem is really hindering the developer experience

[tneuburger]

This affects me as well @lukeis . Thanks for watching it on my laptop here at Dreamforce '23.

[SFDX-Sam]

This is on a 32 core 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K with 32GB of RAM, I can't imagine the average laptop

My average company laptop took 83094ms this morning. That's on the quick end.

[balderm]

Having the same issue, extremely slow startup time, and i got an high end 2018 laptop for work.

OS: Windows 11 22H2 VSCode version: 1.82.0 SFDX version: @salesforce/cli/2.7.11 win32-x64 node-v18.17.1 Extension version: 58.14.2

[BobSeu]

Same thing here.

[ytiq]

Same thing here. It takes more than 5 minutes to boot up all Salesforce extension until I can't do basically anything, can't even check Git status most of the time and need to use terminal for SFDX and Git. And it's with top end laptop with i7-12700H

Can you please improve it?

[chrisabralse]

Still hitting this issue months later. Crazy long load times

[zxmarcos]

Upgrading from JDK17 to JDK21 solved this issue for me.

[DC-ICT]

No difference for me with JDK21 (also can't activate Apex Language Server on 21).

[Llnski]

No difference for me with JDK21 either

This is an issue on my machine as well. Brand new machine with 32 GB of RAM and a new Intel 13th Gen i7 processor. The hardware isn't the bottleneck here. Running Java version "11.0.20", Salesforce Extension pack v59.3.1 and CLI @salesforce/cli/2.13.9 win32-x64 node-v18.15.0

As a consulting firm changing between VS folders is common throughout the day and this is killing us.

[melissaklein68]

When it starts up it's incredibly slow. But it doesn't always start up - I had to close the app to reboot my computer yesterday and haven't yet been able to authorize an org. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the extension twice and it still isn't recognizing it. I can't do my work with it like this.

Running @salesforce/cli/2.13.9 win32-x64 node-v18.15.0 and Salesforce Extension Pack v59.4.0

[AnanyaJha]

Hi all, appreciate the patience for the long-running issue you've been experiencing. There will be an initial fix going out in next week's release that should address this problem. We'll post an update once the release has gone out, thanks!

[diyer]

Hello all, we're excited to let you know the latest version of our extensions 59.5.1 is released! We encourage you to try it out and let us know if you see any improvement with this fix and if possible with some data. Your feedback is valuable to us. Thank you for being part of our journey!!

[DC-ICT]

I'm clocking 74000ms on the latest version, so no improvement at all.

[reignman5]

unfortunately also no improvement for me

[fabiobarcelona]

Same for me after the extension update. Startup time is around 25-50k ms using Oracle Java 11 and latest CLI version

[gbockus-sf]

@fabiobarcelona @DC-ICT @reignman5 And all :) Thanks for the feedback. This was step one which should improve the startup time. Telemetry so far is telling me there's small improvement to avg startup time for the CLI Integration extension, but not everyone has updated to the latest yet so it will be interesting to see what happens to that number as the day goes on.

This def should have improved the end-to-end time for when an update drops as it reduced the size of the CLI extension by a good amount. It has to download the extension before it ever kicks off the activation of the extension.

We also have another change that will hopefully make the next release that should further improve the activation time number (altering the load order of the extensions to allow the base extension to activate first).

[diyer]

@fabiobarcelona @DC-ICT @reignman5 Thank you for your feedback! Do you mind comparing the start up time for your core extension on previous version with the latest one and let us know? The fix we have in our latest version impacts only the core extension and as @gbockus-sf said there are further improvements in the pipeline.
