A way to list all indexed files

[750]

Hi!

I live in a large monorepo where indexing is memory hungry (currently having to use custom node with 8gb limit instead of the built-in node with 4gb limit). My setup is a multiroot workspace where I sometimes disable/enable some roots for performance reasons

I would like to have a way to list all the indexed files (and maybe even some kind of number meaning how expensive this file was to index) so that I can manually select files/subfolders to exclude from indexing.

Thank you!

That's really just a combination of the two globs:

"python.analysis.include"
"python.analysis.exclude"

Which you can read about here:

https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/blob/main/docs/settings/python_analysis_include.md#key-points
https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/blob/main/docs/settings/python_analysis_exclude.md#default-behavior

It's really not indexing that causes the problem (you can turn indexing off), it's the binding and parsing of everything in your include settings. Which happens no matter what the indexing settings.

Listing all of the files would likely have to be a single command and maybe dump it out to a file (well because it would probably not fit in the output window's buffer)

Transferring this to an enhancement request for up votes.
