tsserver won't start - WSL?

Version: 1.41.1 (user setup)
Commit: 26076a4
Date: 2019-12-18T14:58:56.166Z
Electron: 6.1.5
Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
Node.js: 12.4.0
V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19041

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any .js or .ts file in my project

After opening and watching "Initializing js/ts server...". I verbose logging shows a whole mess of stuff, happy to put it all here if needed.
Some that stick out:

[Trace - 19:30:30.496] Response received: updateOpen (2). Request took 137986 ms. Success: true

This took over 2 minutes.

[Trace - 19:30:31.120] Response received: getSupportedCodeFixes (3). Request took 138609 ms. Success: true

This took another 2 minutes.

[Trace - 19:30:37.291] Response received: configure (4). Request took 144779 ms. Success: true

Again.

Then it just kind of hangs. I noticed when I try to force some intellisense (with ctrl+space) I see these errors:

[Error  - 19:35:46.867] ReaderError
RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of "length" is out of range. It must be an integer. Received NaN

	at Pipe.onStreamRead (internal/stream_base_commons.js:166:17)

I tried reinstalling VS Code. I tried Insiders. All my extensions (except for WSL Remote) are disabled. Happy to help or get more information if needed.

Where is your code stored? Somewhere besides the c: drive?

Where is your code stored? Somewhere besides the c: drive?

Yes sir. It's on a separate drive entirely d:. I didn't think of that one. I've always had my code there but could move it if needed.

Duplicate of microsoft/TypeScript#35512

To workaround this, upgrade your workspace to use typescript@next by installing this extension

[alexpaluzzi]

@mjbvz it turns out I actually don't have these on the d: drive like I thought. They are in the home directory inside WSL2. It also seems like installing the extension didn't help. Apologies, I forgot I moved over to WSL2 a couple months ago.

Are you using the vscode wsl-remote extension? If not, can you please explain how you are opening the folder

[alexpaluzzi]

Yes, using ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl. I either open VS Code directly from Windows (and the project shows up since it was last opened), or I simply code . from the Ubuntu shell. They both behave the same.

I also just started getting this pop-up too:

No idea if it's related but it's new all of the sudden. My max user watches are already 524288 (there are not nearly that many files in this project, not including node_modules) but I'm not ruling out some serious WSL2 weirdness here.

Opening new issue to avoid confusion.
