systemverilog.maxLineCountIndexing issue

[hubertdetartas]

Hi,
I am getting this recurrent warning when I index my verilog/systemverilog files:

The character count of is larger than 5000. Falling back to fast parse. To fully parse this file, please set 'systemverilog.maxLineCountIndexing > 18416 in the systemverilog extension settings.

Yet, when I go to my settings, this variable has been changed to : 100000 both in User and Workspace.
After doing the changes, I closed everything and restarted visual studio code, but I have still the same warning.
( I tried 50000 but it was the same result)

Also, I see on the bottom of the screen the indexing count increasing when I click on a file. I thought the indexing was done
when I load a folder in visual studio code. I understand this takes time, but I can wait for the indexing to be finished.

Thanks and regards
Simon

@hubertdetartas This setting does not track indexed tokens, it tracks individual file size (in the form of line numbers). In this case, it is telling you that a file has 18416 lines, which is bigger than the systemverilog.maxLineCountIndexing setting.

To trigger re-indexing, you can click on the

button at the bottom bar of VSCode.

I just tested this, and the setting is working for me in a VS-Code sandbox that has only this extension installed. Fair warning, though, a file that large will almost certainly have a performance impact on VS-Code, so you would want a powerful machine to manage it if you do allow it to be fully indexed.
