✔ 3152 total assets found in base directory.
⠙ 16 imported assets found. /path/to/the/project/src/state/routes.jsx Killed

Tried two times. Every time I had to kill the process after 4-6 minutes.
Weirdly, I couldn't also terminate the process using Ctrl+c so I killed it from the outside.

Both times the process was consuming 175-200% of CPU according to htop.

System: Linux Ubuntu 18.04

Not sure what the deal is, I even used the cli option that narrows it down to directory. I pointed it to a directory with 3 .tsx file (within a large project) and still stuck. The node process sucks up all my CPU processing power and my macbook sounds like it's about to take off.

Thanks a lot for taking the time and reporting this issue:)
I actually tested this library on a super big library (over 200,000 lines of code), however, to be honest, I mostly checked with javascript, I guess this issue is only with typescript projects, I will try to look into this and resolve this.
Even if it requires more process, it should not block the main process.

Hi

Same issue for me, in a javascript project (and I only test javascript, there is nothing else there).

I tried to mark only the specific directory and the index.js file, but nothing worked. It starts hanging at the "220 imported assets found." stage.

Same here :(

I've got this working on a large project but it's reporting 90% of files as dead, while I know that they're included. This is using deadfile ./src/index.tsx

+1, can confirm, I'm also experiencing this in a semi-large project with a mixed JS(X)/TS(X) codebase.

This might be a duplicate of #4

[M-Izadmehr]

Thanks for the report, Sorry I was not active in the past few months.
I just made a small release (version 1.2), it should be resolved. Could you possibly confirm it in your project?

[asavage1]

Using deadfile 1.2.2 with a React typescript codebase I had the same issue as simonv3

598 total files found!
595 dead files found!

Happy to report that our large project with ~560 files is now finishing

I encountered this issue and I resolved by this way:

• Replace all import 'alias' to your absolute path. eg: '.src/' -> '/Users/sunway/Documents/Project/ShopDiary/src/'
• Run deadfile command
• Delete all unused files
• Replace all absolute paths to your alias

[M-Izadmehr]

@joepake What kind of alias do you use (webpack/npm/...)?
