Describe your issue

After updating the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension to v0.14.14, IntelliSense stopped working completely in .php, .html files. No class name suggestions are provided.

I updated to v0.14.15, hoping it would resolve the issue, but the behavior remains the same.

Things I tried:

• Reloading VS Code
• Reinstalling the extension
• Deleting .vscode and node_modules

Confirmed that Tailwind CSS is working in the frontend (classes are being applied correctly)

[thecrypticace]

Can you provide the output from the "Tailwind CSS: Show Output" command please?

[moloko]

I have the same issue - using TailwindCSS v3.4.17 with v0.14.15 of the Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension.

It all works fine if I switch back to v0.14.13

Running the "Tailwind CSS: Show Output" command gives me this:

Server was not started. Search for Tailwind CSS-related files was taking too long.

This tells me it takes quite a long time to do a search for CSS files in your project. I suspect this is very large project?

Can you provide some more information about your environment, VSCode version, settings, size of your project, OS, etc…?

[moloko]

@thecrypticace

I suspect this is very large project?

I wouldn't call it very large but I guess it depends on your definition of 'very large project'!

Can you provide some more information about your environment, VSCode version, settings, size of your project, OS, etc…?

I already added some of that info above... could you give me a bit more of a steer on how I'd define 'size of project'?

[thecrypticace]

@moloko

I already added some of that info above... could you give me a bit more of a steer on how I'd define 'size of project'?

Ah whoops I glanced over it my bad. Number of files in the project and size possibly? (A get info in the Finder on the folder you open in VSCode should give both of these pieces of info)

Are you working on a shared network drive, your local SSD, or an external spinning disk hard drive?

[moloko]

Number of files in the project and size possibly?

It's 218MB (not counting node_modules) with 7,631 files - 46 of which are .css files (most of the projects in the repo use .less)

It contains about 15 separate projects - but only two of them use Tailwind - so there are only two tailwind config files in the repo. Both are a couple of folders deep i.e. apps/app-name/tailwind.config.js.

Each of these two projects contains a single index.css file that's just one or two folders beneath the tw config file. One project also uses tailwindcss-radix and tailwindcss-scoped-preflight, the other uses @tailwindcss/forms

Are you working on a shared network drive, your local SSD, or an external spinning disk hard drive?

on local SSD, on an M2 Max MBP with 32GB of RAM running macOS 15.4.1

Hope that helps, it's end of day here now so I'm clocking off but feel free to ask for more info and I'll reply tomorrow.

EDIT: just to add that I don't have any tailwind-specific config settings in my settings.json

[moloko]

Not sure if this helps at all but when I go back to the working version of this extension (0.14.13) and then run "Tailwind CSS: Show Output" I can see that it does seem to try and parse quite a bit of stuff before it gets to the 'Preparing projects' & 'Adding watch patterns' step... there's around 80 entries along the lines of:

{"tailwind":{"version":"3.4.17","features":["layer:base","separator:root","content-list","jit","css-at-config-as-project","relative-content-paths","transpiled-configs"],"isDefaultVersion":false},"path":"/Users/moloko/Repositories/repo-name/apps/app-name/src/modules/editable/styles/editable.css"}

[thecrypticace]

.. there's around 80 entries along the lines of:

{"tailwind":{"version":"3.4.17","features":["layer:base","separator:root","content-list","jit","css-at-config-as-project","relative-content-paths","transpiled-configs"],"isDefaultVersion":false},"path":"/Users/moloko/Repositories/repo-name/apps/app-name/src/modules/editable/styles/editable.css"}

If there's that many then it's finding a lot of files that it considers config files.

1. Are they all CSS files with @config or is it mix of CSS and JS/TS config files? (the features and path key should all be that's needed to infer that info)
2. Do there appear to be duplicates?
3. Could you post the entire list w/o revealing too much private info from your project?
4. Do you have custom files.exclude settings? I wonder if we're traversing node_modules when we shouldn't be.

Even in a project (in my testing) with a few hundred config files things are quick enough that it doesn't take 15s for the search to happen (the current limit). I set this because VSCode's file search can get stuck for long period when a project has lots of symlinks. Does your project have a bunch of those by chance? And I figured if the search is taking 15s+ there's very likely other problems going on.

[thecrypticace]

Here's logs (with counts and timing details added for debugging) from a sample project w/ 1000 config files that does a search in around 200ms:

This is obvs a contrived example — I could see this search taking like maybe 5s on slower disks but feels odd it takes long enough to time out

[moloko]

1. Are they all CSS files with @config or is it mix of CSS and JS/TS config files? (the features and path key should all be that's needed to infer that info)

The vast majority of them (68) are actually .less files and are not in projects that use Tailwind. They all seem to have identical features info:

"features":["layer:base","separator:root","content-list","jit","css-at-config-as-project","relative-content-paths","transpiled-configs"]

The one thing I can see that I think seems to be common to these files is that they all have @import rule(s) in them

2. Do there appear to be duplicates?

Some but not a crazy amount

3. Could you post the entire list w/o revealing too much private info from your project?

I can probably obfuscate the list enough for it to be safe to share

4. Do you have custom files.exclude settings? I wonder if we're traversing node_modules when we shouldn't be.

In my VSC settings.json I have - only set to exclude all node_modules folders/

1. I see duplicate logs for things like Creating projects, Initializing projects..., and Searching for Tailwind CSS projects in the workspace's folders.. This tells me you're using a .code-workspace file to open a multi-root workspace.
2. Every potential tailwind "project" shows up twice — the number of lines goes from 80 to 40 when de-duplicated.

What does your code workspace file look like? Are you opening a folder and maybe a sub-folder of it? We currently don't try to de-duplicate work across workspace folders but that's something I've wanted to work toward for a while as just-in-case scenario — just need to find time to rip out and change a bunch of internal stuff.

Aside: Seeing @import in less files does make sense as to why the server is seeing them as possible files. Though, we really shouldn't be considering those. I think this is something I can improve. We should only consider @import, @theme, etc… in .css files to be interesting. Though I'm sure people are inadvertently relying on the current behavior I think we should still change it.

I don't see anything that jumps out at me as to why the search would time out though. Only thing I can think of is symlinks causing a slowdown but it'd be hard to believe its that much of one if 0.14.13 worked.

Something you can try is setting this and seeing if it helps:

"search.followSymlinks": false
