Text explorer stuck on loading

[jessica-dennis]

Type: Bug

The test explorer is stuck on loading and this never resolves. I don't know what caused it but I think it started when I was using the debugger and working with a test that had previously been set to test.fail(). Restarting vs code, restarting my machine, editing the playwright config file haven't resolved the problem. Steps to repro:

1. View test explorer Actual: 'Loading' is displayed and never resolves. It's not possible to view or run any tests from the tree, and projects aren't displayed in the playwright section. Expected: The test tree is displayed and the projects section is populated with checkboxes for each project in playwright config

Can you share code of the project where it happens, so that we could try it locally? Does it happen on a fresh setup on another machine?

[yury-s]

Can you also do cmd-shift-p -> Search Show Logs -> Extension Host and see if there are any errors in the extension logs?

Hi Yury

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately I can't share the code as it's in a private (work) repo but I'll ask one of my colleagues to try pulling the code on Monday and see if they get the same issue. I'm expecting that they won't because it was working fine for me previously and it doesn't seem to be related to a code change. The logs are as follows: 2024-08-11 17:20:45.907 [info] Extension host with pid 57848 started 2024-08-11 17:20:45.908 [info] Skipping acquiring lock for /Users/JessicaDennis/Library/Application Support/Code/User/workspaceStorage/b5da0034afc9bb43b9aaa6063a4298bd. 2024-08-11 17:20:45.911 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.git-base, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onFileSystem:git', root cause: vscode.git 2024-08-11 17:20:45.922 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.emmet, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onLanguage' 2024-08-11 17:20:45.953 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.typescript-language-features, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onLanguage:typescript' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.093 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.git, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onFileSystem:git' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.239 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.github, startup: true, activationEvent: '*' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.304 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.npm, startup: true, activationEvent: 'workspaceContains:package.json' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.375 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension ms-playwright.playwright, startup: true, activationEvent: 'workspaceContains:**/*playwright*.config.{ts,js,mjs}' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.648 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension github.vscode-github-actions, startup: true, activationEvent: 'workspaceContains:**/.github/workflows/**' 2024-08-11 17:20:46.701 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.github-authentication, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onAuthenticationRequest:github' 2024-08-11 17:20:47.790 [info] Eager extensions activated 2024-08-11 17:20:47.792 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.debug-auto-launch, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onStartupFinished' 2024-08-11 17:20:47.801 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension vscode.merge-conflict, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onStartupFinished' 2024-08-11 17:20:47.860 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension dbaeumer.vscode-eslint, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onStartupFinished' 2024-08-11 17:20:47.928 [info] ExtensionService#_doActivateExtension ritwickdey.LiveServer, startup: false, activationEvent: 'onStartupFinished'

Also this may not be relevant but I noticed this in the test-results folder. I have a feeling the problem started when I interrupted a (debug) test run that froze after I started manually interacting with the browser while the test was on a breakpoint. It didn't allow me to continue or stop the test so I think I ended up restarting vscode instead.

Also, my colleague has now pulled the branch and the test explorer loaded with no issues, and the tests run as expected from the command line.

UPDATE: Just upgraded to 1.46 and it's fixed. Fantastic timing 🎉 Thanks again Yury
