Language server seems to trigger build twice during initialization [message #1863128] Wed, 17 January 2024 14:20 Go to next message

During profiling of the language server, I noticed that the Xtext language server seems to trigger a build (i.e., validation + code generation) twice during initialization; one time after receiving the `initialize` request, and one time after receiving all `didOpen` requests. This results in unnecessary computations and doubled `textDocument/publishDiagnostics` events.

Is there a reason for this? Why is validation initially triggered before any `didOpen` requests? Is it safe to disable it?





Snippet of the code I'm using to test this:
        	// Initialization
        	System.out.println("initialize");
        	InitializeParams initParams = new InitializeParams();
        	initParams.setWorkspaceFolders(List.of(
        			new WorkspaceFolder(
        					workspacePath.toUri().toString(),
        					workspaceName
        				)
        			));
      		server.initialize(initParams).get();
      		System.out.println("initialized");
      		server.initialized(new InitializedParams());
      		System.out.println("Setup done");

		// Open files
		System.out.println("didOpens");
		for (String uri : workspaceURIs) {
			DidOpenTextDocumentParams openParams = new DidOpenTextDocumentParams(
  				new TextDocumentItem(
  						uri,
  						"rosetta",
  						1,
  						Resources.toString(new URL(uri), Charsets.UTF_8)
  				));
			server.getTextDocumentService().didOpen(openParams);
		}

  		// Wait for diagnostics
  		System.out.println("Wait for diagnostics");
  		server.getRequestManager().runRead((cancelIndicator) -> client.getDiagnostics()).get();
  		System.out.println("Got diagnostics");

		// Close files
		System.out.println("didCloses");
		for (String uri : workspaceURIs) {
			DidCloseTextDocumentParams closeParams = new DidCloseTextDocumentParams(
				new TextDocumentIdentifier(
						uri
				));
			server.getTextDocumentService().didClose(closeParams);
		}

		// Shutdown
		System.out.println("shutdown");
		server.getRequestManager().shutdown();
	  	server.shutdown().get();

I also added log lines on the client whenever it receives a message, and on the generator whenever it starts generating. This results in the following log:
initialize
Generating for file:///xxx/annotations.rosetta
Generating for file:///xxx/basictypes.rosetta
Generating for file:///xxx/reg-model.rosetta

If you open a workspace with broken files
And have no files open.
You won't know that there are broken files
In the workspace

Okay, that makes sense. Then maybe I got it the other way around: why should the `didOpen` requests trigger a rebuild if the workspace was already built during initialization?

Cause did open give a new current version of the file.
Now the dirty state in the editor will shadow the file on disk

Thanks for the explanation.

If I understand correctly, if I don't want to trigger a rebuild, I should somehow check whether the file was modified between `initialize` and `didOpen`, and if it was not (which will be the case 99.9% of the times, except if it was modified by another process/application), just skip the rebuild.
