Typescript freezes sublime

[BTMorton]

I've been using the typescript plugin and for the most part it works great. However, every now and then, it will cause Sublime to lock-up and stop responding, until I go into task manager and kill the running instance of node.exe. Is it possible to add a disable node autocomplete or parsing and just use the syntax highlighter? Or is there something I'm doing wrong that will provide an easy fix?

Cheers!

Hey @BTMorton, you don't happen to have an issue repro at all, do you? Also, are you using the most up-to-date version of the plugin?

[AlexBoehm]

I have the same problem. It would be very nice if I could enable the syntax highlighter only.

[BTMorton]

There's no exact set of 'steps' to reproduce it. I'm using the latest version. After just general usage, opening a series of different .ts files in Sublime, the program just locks up. Opening task manager I can see that node is using up the most memory out of all my running processes, and stopping it immediately gets sublime running normally again, without the added extras of autocomplete etc.

I seem to be having this issue while working with Angular2. It happens whenever I hit semi-colon.

@zachrip you can disable the auto-fomartting trigger by semi-colon. To disable it, go to Preferences -> Package Settings -> TypeScript -> Plugin Settings - User, and add "typescript_auto_format": false to the json file.

Same issue for me here! When I kill node instance sublime recovers.

Update: I managed to get back to normal sublime behavior. The problem was caused because I created a bower link to some local repository. I un-linked and everything is back to normal again. I don't know exactly why this was caused but it might be helpful to you.

What platform are you guys on (Windows, OS X, Linux) and what Node version is installed? I wonder if this might be how we crawl/watch files, and there some issues handling file system links.

I am on windows 7 and node v4.2.3, bower v1.71, gulp v3.9.0.

[BTMorton]

For me it's Windows 7 and node v0.12.7

Windows 7, node 4.3.2, bower 1.7.7, gulp CLI 1.2.1
TypeScript with Angular 1.

Everything freezes after typing dots, semicolons, quotes, concating strings. Basically can't do anything. Even commenting freezes sublime. Sometimes placing cursor on random thing in code can cause this as well.

@CatPlanet Can you provide a repro project? Or does the plugin freeze on any typescript file?
