Problem comparing files

AgainPsychoX commented 1 month ago

Type: Performance Issue

I wanted to compare two large files, it didn't work (might been too large/complex?). I also tried switching to non-advanced diff algorithm (diffEditor.diffAlgorithm setting). It also didn't work (even tho I have unlimited time set and files are below 50 MB).

Problem now is, even tho I closed the files, it still does seem like it's using CPU. Restarting the editor of course helps, but it's weird thing to be.

The files I had problem with:

OutsideWorkingNoTimestamps.CSV

InsideNotWorkingNoTimestamps.CSV

It's not really important issue, and workaround (restart the VS Code) is simple. Notabene, it's a bit weird the files causes such trouble to be diffed - Notepad++ with Compare plugin takes like 2 minutes but it works.

AgainPsychoX commented 1 month ago

Actually, what is going on with comparing files? The files aren't that complex... I stripped timestamps and (random) PID processes from the files and I still can't open them in VS Code compare, while Notepad++ works just fine.

I did download some example small diff files and it also gets stuck:

After restart it works on the small files, but the actual ones I need still cause this hang up.

Settings the diff timeout doesn't help either, stuck for like 5 minutes:

I disabled the extensions too:

After sometime it actually worked:

But it's obvious it shouldn't take so long!

AgainPsychoX commented 1 month ago

One more thing I noticed, setting the timeout lower... makes it timeout faster but also work?

Or is it cached somehow and I am just misunderstanding it... I don't know. For now I will use Notepad++. I feel like I did my "due diligence", if anyone has suggestion or need for more info please ask. Cheers.
