Restart Language Server

Automatically restart language servers (like TypeScript/Vue/ESLint) when specific files or directories change.

Features

Auto Restart: Watches for file changes, checks file hashes, and only restarts when contents actually change.
Configurable Watch Patterns: Define exactly which files or folders should trigger a restart using glob patterns.
Custom Commands: Configure which VS Code commands to execute (e.g., typescript.restartTsServer, eslint.restart).
Non-intrusive Notifications: Shows a subtle progress bar notification when restarting, keeping your workflow uninterrupted. Detailed logs are available in the Output channel.

Configuration

This extension contributes the following settings:

Setting	Description	Default
`restart-language-server.enable`	Enable/disable this extension.	`true`
`restart-language-server.debug`	Enable verbose debug logging (file events and watcher details).	`false`
`restart-language-server.includes`	An array of glob patterns to watch. Example: `["/auto-imports.d.ts", "/components.d.ts"]`	`["package.json", "package-lock.json", "pnpm-lock.yaml", ".yalc/**/package.json"]`
`restart-language-server.lsRestartCommands`	An array of VS Code commands to execute when a change is detected. Example: `["typescript.restartTsServer", "eslint.restart"]`	`["typescript.restartTsServer"]`

Usage Example

Add the following to your .vscode/settings.json to restart TypeScript and ESLint servers whenever auto-generated declaration files change:

{
  "restart-language-server.includes": [
    "**/auto-imports.d.ts",
    "**/components.d.ts"
  ],
  "restart-language-server.lsRestartCommands": [
    "typescript.restartTsServer",
    "eslint.restart"
  ]
