Multiple requests to rebuild the project IntelliSense index

[ivankravets]

The reasons for "Multiple requests to rebuild the project IntelliSense index have been received" error:

1. External tools or custom extra scripts DELETE PlatformIO Core's libdeps_dir that trigger infinitely VSCode to re-install all dependencies from scratch. Please fix your code and DO NOT manipulate with libdeps_dir manually. We recommended using the lib_dir folder for the private project libraries/components.
2. 3rd-party antivirus tools block PlatormIO Core dependency installer.
3. You made a lot of frequent changes to the platformio.ini file that triggered a lot of requests to rebuild the index. Wait for a few minutes, there is 10 minutes protection window.

If you still DO NOT AGREE with the steps above, you can rebuild the index manually by running the PlatformIO: Rebuild C/C++ Index command in VSCode.

Hi team, really appreciate you working on this for me. Unfortunately while the SSL warning has disappeared and I see the Python version has been upgraded, I am still having an issue with the multiple rebuild issue:

I have tried this on the dev branch as well, but have the same results. My libraries consistently download and then delete themselves, often breaking a compilation in process. I have to get lucky with timing to get my code to build properly.

Let me know what information I can supply that can help debug, thanks!

@Ductapemaster, please

1. Close ALL VScode windows, projects, folders
2. Download example https://registry.platformio.org/platforms/platformio/espressif32/examples/arduino-blink
3. Unpack, open. Do you still experience this issue?

[Ductapemaster]

Hi Ivan, I did as instructed and I do not see the same behavior.

A couple of notes about my issue, in case they are helpful:

• My instance seems to destroy any library folders that I have included (my project has 3). Once those delete, it constantly redownloads them. This is generally what breaks my compilation step. I noted the example you shared doesn't include any libraries, so I am wondering if that may be why it won't trigger the behavior.
• I have a friend who can clone and compile my project fine on his computer, so I suspect it is something with my setup specifically.

[ivankravets]

Have you read https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/librarymanager/dependencies.html ? It would be best if YOU do NOT manipulate with libraries in runtime, otherwise, it will trigger all components from the integration to re-init the project.

[Ductapemaster]

I am not manipulating anything at runtime — I am using 3 libraries from the PIO system, included using the best practices laid out in that support page.

My platformio.ini looks like this:

;
;   Build options: build flags, source filter
;   Upload options: custom upload port, speed and extra flags
;   Library options: dependencies, extra library storages
;   Advanced options: extra scripting

Then at some time during the compilation step, if those downloaded files aren't already in use by the compiler, some process deletes them, often causing reinitialization and downloading of them, showing the above output again. Often the compilation fails because some dependency isn't available when it goes looking for it.

Could you share somewhere your project WITHOUT src folder? Have you set custom https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/envvars.html ?

[Ductapemaster]

Here is my project without the src folder in it. I have not set any custom environmental variables, that I can remember. Is there an easy way for me to check if any are used?

[ivankravets]

I can't reproduce your issue. I see a few solutions:

1. You try to disable ALL extension in the VSCode and keeping only PlatformIO + C/C++ extensions
2. You email me@ikravets.com and we set the remote session. We can try to debug this issue together.

[ZanderElectronics]

I had this issue. Following worked for me: Delete Folder PlatformIO/Projects/MyProject/.pio/libdeps/MyDeviceName in (Windows) File Explorer / (MacOs) Finder and build. All Depencies are loading again but now it builds without Error.
