Updating <project name> configuration loop; caused by Minecraft Forge gradle files

[ChiriVulpes]

Minecraft Forge gradle files work in IntelliJ IDEA but not VSCode.

Environment

• Operating System: Windows 10
• JDK version: 1.8.0_131-1-redhat
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.12.2
• Java extension version: 0.5.0

Steps To Reproduce

1. Clone my minecraft mod Souls
2. Open folder with VSCode

The log is this, and then a loop of the last six lines:

As a result of this, the dependencies don't seem to be downloaded because my java files contain lots of missing references.

[fbricon]

I don't see any configuration loop. The workspace/didChangeConfiguration event would be sent by vscode itself, not vscode-java, so it might be caused by a third-party plugin.

However, what I see is many compilation errors, that disappear eventually, when opening various files. Something's quite fishy there. But ultimately, everything look good

[fbricon]

I can see compilation errors all over the place when reopening. That's really bad.

[ChiriVulpes]

I disabled all my extensions except for this one and it still seems to do it. When I first loaded the project, I clicked always on this prompt , which sets the .vscode/settings.json to:

{
    "java.configuration.updateBuildConfiguration": "automatic"
}

If I change this to interactive it stops looping, but every time I open the project it shows the same prompt again, and it doesn't download the dependencies either. Is there something I'm doing wrong? My only Java setting is java.trace.server: verbose

[ChiriVulpes]

I'm not sure why I had ignored it, but I had ignored the .classpath and .project files that were autogenerated by IDEA. Seems like that's what causes the loop. I don't really understand the files, maybe they're incorrect? I committed them, so it should be easier to figure out now anyway.

[ChiriVulpes]

I'm not sure if I wasn't patient enough back when I posted this issue, but I just tried working on this project in vscode again--after around 5-10 minutes of the project being open I don't get the loop anymore, and all the types load in.

[Nightenom]

Sorry for bumping this, I have the same issue, did you found out any at least "almost" working solution? Did deleting .classpath and .project worked?

[ChiriVulpes]

There are multiple ways I used to fix it, the primary way being to just start debugging it, and sometimes that will load everything in. Otherwise, you can try this batch script that I used to use:

rmdir .gradle /s /q
rmdir bin /s /q
rmdir build /s /q
del .project
del .classpath
gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

Run this with VSCode closed, then re-open when it's finished. It may work for you. Sorry I don't have more concrete advice.

[fbricon]

I think this was fixed by https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.ls/issues/768. Guys, please try to install the latest CI build and let us know if you still experience this issue.

[Nightenom]

Meh I just read this is a bit different issue (dumb af) so disregard this comment Tried java-0.32.0-1213.vsix without any luck - nothing is link-clickable, the fresh setup doesn't seem to do anything since it takes a minute only
