High CPU usage from Vetur extension

• I have searched through existing issues
• I have read through docs
• I have read FAQ

Info

• Platform: macOS
• Vetur version: 0.12.1
• VS Code version: 1.23.1

Problem

CPU usage is excessively high from the “Code Helper” process. Grabbing the pid from running top and using ps aux | grep 1234, I can see the process is pointing to vetur extension.

I see someone else has reported something similar here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/49883

Didn’t handle chokidar correctly in 0.12.2. 0.12.3 completely removes chokidar so the problem should be gone. If not, then that’s not the file watcher causing the problem.

Would appreciate it if you can confirm 0.12.3 is working for you.

@squalsoft @prine I used this tutorial to build the link for the previous vetur extension builds.

For example, the link to v0.11.7 is this: https://octref.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publisher/octref/extension/vetur/0.11.7/assetbyname/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.VSIXPackage

Save it with .vsix extension and install as explained in the tutorial (I just installed it over the current 0.12.1 version).
