ycm fails with message 'Network failed'

[artines1]

ycm-language-server always outputs following messages when I try to type. My vscode version is "January 2017 (version 1.9)"

[Error - 11:27:32 AM] Request textDocument/codeAction failed. Message: Request textDocument/codeAction failed with message: Network failed Code: -32603

This issue is resolved in the Insider version of VSCode. Version 1.10.0-insider (1.10.0-insider)

[agauniyal]

@roederw if this a bug on vscode side then they should atleast publish a minor release for this. It sometimes becomes annoying because the Output window keeps popping up and taking cursor control and we aren't able to type anything in the editor window.

[agauniyal]

They've already published numerous fixes in minor releases earlier, right after they released a major version so this is absolutely possible. But I agree that some might wait for a month and disable the extension for now.

[tanis2000]

@agauniyal I've been following your suggestion to use this extension and I happened to stumble upon this very same issue. Do you know what part of the extension is failing by any chance? I guess that this error might as well be due to the wrong usage of some of the VSCode API even though the insider build is working. It would be nice to be able to patch it on our own in the meanwhile

[agauniyal]

@tanis2000 I'm also using the insiders build for now.

[tanis2000]

1.10.0-insider still has this very same bug. It looks like what broke 1.9 also affected the current 1.10 Insider build.

[agauniyal]

@tanis2000 did this get resolved for your when upgrading to Feb build of vscode? For me it didn't so @richard1122 could you take a look at this?

[tanis2000]

@agauniyal nope, I'm still experiencing this issue as well.

[richard1122]

@agauniyal @tanis2000 @roederw Hi, I 've updated extension to version 1.0.26 and try to fix this issue.

Could you please update extension and see if there are any errors now?

Thanks!

  Message: Request textDocument/codeAction failed with message: Still no compile flags, no completions yet.
  Code: -32603 

It still happens but now it's bit more clear to me, this happens in vim version of ycm too because it takes a while to parse each new buffer/file editor opens. The correct solution would be to not output them in Output panel(probably via a user config) otherwise the output pane just keeps opening randomly abrupting us from typing further code.

For more info, try changing config of this plugin -

@agauniyal Hi, I just released an version. Added a workaround of this issue currently.

I think we fixed this. Please update the extension.

Thanks!!

[agauniyal]

@richard1122 initial impressions are looking good, I'm using it for 10 mins and so far the bug hasn't shown up. I'll test a bit more and report back tomorrow but for now I guess you've fixed it 👍 . @tanis2000 could you test the latest release as well?

[tanis2000]

@agauniyal I confirm it's working fine for me as well.
