Delay When Executing SweetPad Commands in Cursor/VS Code

[rudrankriyam]

Hi! I have noticed there is some delay (3 to 5 seconds) when executing the commands, going from:

Executing task: sweetpad: build 

to

🚀 Executing command:
xcodebuild -scheme Meshing -configuration Debug -workspace /Users/rudrankriyam/Downloads/Meshing/Meshing.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace -destination platform\=iOS\,id\=00008140-000104303633001C -resultBundlePath '/Users/rudrankriyam/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/c26896c610692a109a35c94975a16cde/sweetpad.sweetpad/bundle/Meshing' -allowProvisioningUpdates build

Do you know what can be the reason behind this?

Hello! Before performing an actual "build" action, the extension tries to detect schemes, configurations, and build settings by executing the xcodebuild -showBuildSettings and xcodebuild -list commands. I think the slowdown comes from these commands because, when I've executed them for the first time, I also noticed that they run slowly. Of course, the results are cached for subsequent calls, but unfortunately, the first execution will always be slow.

One way to improve this is by parsing the files manually, but I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to this. You can also can debug this by setting log level to the "debug" in .vscode/settings.json and see all comands that extension executes:

{
  "sweetpad.system.logLevel": "debug"
}
