Massive ZLS textDocument/codeAction delay

Zig Version

0.13.0

ZLS Version

0.13.0

Client / Code Editor / Extensions

VSCode with Zig Language extension

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

Writing code leads to a big slow-down in intellisense, which in itself leads to me being unable to save the file for a long period of time as formatOnSave is trying to run, but is unable to.
When I check ZLS' output in VSCode, I see a massive spike in ms for textDocument/codeAction whenever the issue occurs. However, I do not have clear steps of reproduction as it happens randomly, yet often.

Things I have tried:

1. Running latest Zig and latest ZLS
2. Reinstalling VSCode Zig Language extension
3. Reinstalling VSCode
4. Testing with a different lightweight codebase (~50 lines) to see if it still occurs and it does.
5. Checking if my PC resource utilization is not normal and it is indeed normal. I have also tried restarting my PC multiple times, to no avail.
6. Checking if my VSCode Zig extension settings are correct and they seem to be. I have attached them below:

  "zig.initialSetupDone": true,
  "editor.multiCursorLimit": 20000,
  "zig.path": "zig",
  "zig.zls.path": "zls",
  "git.ignoreRebaseWarning": true,
  "workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
  "zig.zls.debugLog": true,
  "zig.checkForUpdate": false,
  "zig.zls.warnStyle": true

Expected Behavior

Normal ZLS usage with low latency

Could you try adding "zig.zls.preferAstCheckAsChildProcess": false, to your settings and see if that makes a difference?
If not, remove the "zig.path": "zig" setting so that ZLS doesn't use Zig. That should help to nail down the cause of this issue.

Could you also post the entire ZLS log output. The first few messages contains some useful information.

Just gave "zig.zls.preferAstCheckAsChildProcess": false, a try and I am not able to replicate it at the moment. If it comes up again, I will post more info, but it's looking good for now.

edit: update from a day later, this indeed has fixed the issue. thanks! I am leaving the issue open in case you want any more information about the problem as to narrow down the root of the cause.
