Pls comment if you find a way to repro this

rebornix · 2023-02-03T17:32:59Z

@meganrogge I really don't. Ran into this twice in last two weeks, is there any log to check if I run into this again?

bpasero · 2023-02-03T17:37:22Z

Oh nice, same here! I think this happens when I manage to rerun build tasks (the default build task of vscode) right after window reload, very early while the workbench is loading up.

meganrogge · 2023-02-03T17:38:45Z

Yeah it takes some time to resolve workspace tasks, so if you run it too early, it makes sense that you'd see this happen. We don't want to prevent the workbench from starting up, so not sure what could be done here

bpasero · 2023-02-03T17:40:10Z

I should also mention that when this happens, it does not "just work" when I wait longer. So at that point, I see the picker appearing even later. Not sure if that is explainable.

rebornix · 2023-02-03T17:43:18Z

@meganrogge for me it still doesn't work after waiting for 10 seconds or so. I would expect the workbench to finish and we have parsed the tasks.json file reasonably fast. It's fine for me to wait for a few seconds to wait for the workbench to be ready and tasks.json to be parsed before seeing a quick pick or an auto run.

meganrogge · 2023-02-03T18:07:37Z

Looked at your gif again @rebornix and I noticed that you only have detected tasks showing up in that case.

What that means looking at the code is that _source had not yet been set to User or Workspace for any of the tasks.

vscode/src/vs/workbench/contrib/tasks/browser/abstractTaskService.ts

Lines 2618 to 2633 in beea143

    
           	if (!key || !recentSet.has(key)) { 
        
           		if ((task._source.kind === TaskSourceKind.Workspace) || (task._source.kind === TaskSourceKind.User)) { 
        
           			configured.push(task); 
        
           		} else { 
        
           			detected.push(task); 
        
           		} 
        
           	} 
        
           } 
        
           const sorter = this.createSorter(); 
        
           if (includeRecents) { 
        
           	fillEntries(entries, recent, nls.localize('recentlyUsed', 'recently used tasks')); 
        
           } 
        
           configured = configured.sort((a, b) => sorter.compare(a, b)); 
        
           fillEntries(entries, configured, nls.localize('configured', 'configured tasks')); 
        
           detected = detected.sort((a, b) => sorter.compare(a, b)); 
        
           fillEntries(entries, detected, nls.localize('detected', 'detected tasks'));

meganrogge · 2023-02-03T18:09:15Z

So I think what's happening is the tasks.json file has been parsed but the task hasn't been fully resolved yet

rebornix · 2023-02-08T01:29:18Z

@meganrogge this happened again today, and VS Code has been already running for half a day. Here are the trace logs related to Tasks but they don't seem to be helpful.
