i’m using 5.9.2, and i’m using the SPM that ships with the 5.9.2 toolchain. the VSCode extension version is 1.7.2. the toolchain is installed in an Amazon Linux 2 docker container, and i have not used SPM outside the container enough to know if the issue also occurs on the host.
i understand this is not sufficient to begin a real investigation into the actual failure mechanism. it happens seemingly randomly but also frequently enough that i really doubted if i was the only one experiencing this; hence why i made this forums post.
i’ve experienced a few other issues with the reliability of swift on VSCode, such as sourcekit-lsp crashing when renaming files. when i raise these issues, others say that they cannot reproduce the issue and that they have never heard of such a thing happening. which is frustrating because problems with swift on VSCode (especially since 5.9) happen so frequently for me that i have to delete /var/lib/apport/coredump/ every few hours due to no space remaining on the root partition. so i figured the first step to resolving it is to figure out who else is seeing similar issues, and if there are any patterns in the failures.
