Summary

This PR fixes issue #6532 where Roo Code crashes repeatedly, especially when working with Rust and Swift files on macOS.

Problem

The tree-sitter WASM parser was causing VSCode to crash when:

  • WASM files failed to load properly
  • Parsing operations hung on complex files
  • Memory accumulated from loaded parsers

Solution

1. Robust WASM Loading

  • Added timeout protection (30s) to prevent hanging during WASM load
  • Return null instead of throwing errors when WASM fails to load
  • Continue with other parsers if one fails

2. Safe Parsing Operations

  • Wrapped parsing in try-catch blocks with timeout (10s)
  • Handle parser errors gracefully without crashing
  • Log warnings instead of throwing exceptions

3. Memory Management

  • Implemented parser cache with automatic cleanup
  • Remove unused parsers after 1 minute of inactivity
  • Limit maximum parsers in memory to prevent leaks

Testing

  • All linting checks pass
  • Type checking passes
  • The changes are backward compatible - files that can't be parsed are simply skipped

Checklist

  • Code follows the project's style guidelines
  • Self-review of code completed
  • Code has been tested locally
  • No new warnings introduced

Important

Fixes crashes by adding timeouts and error handling for WASM parser loading and parsing operations, and implements memory management for parsers.

  • Behavior:
    • Adds timeout (30s) for WASM loading in loadLanguage() in languageParser.ts to prevent hanging.
    • Wraps parsing in parseFile() in index.ts with a 10s timeout and try-catch to handle errors gracefully.
    • Logs warnings instead of throwing exceptions for parsing errors.
  • Memory Management:
    • Implements parser cache in languageParser.ts with automatic cleanup of unused parsers after 1 minute.
    • Limits maximum parsers in memory to 10 to prevent leaks.
  • Misc:
    • Continues with other parsers if one fails to load or parse.
    • Updates loadRequiredLanguageParsers() in languageParser.ts to handle unsupported languages gracefully.

…rror handling

- Add timeout protection for WASM loading to prevent hanging
- Return null instead of throwing when WASM fails to load
- Add try-catch blocks around parser operations
- Implement memory management to clean up old parsers
- Add timeout for parsing operations to handle complex files

This fixes issue #6532 where Roo Code crashes repeatedly, especially with Rust and Swift code on macOS.

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in production - technically possible but morally questionable. I've reviewed the changes and found several issues that need attention.

if (!cleanupInterval) {
cleanupInterval = setInterval(cleanupOldParsers, PARSER_CLEANUP_INTERVAL)

Critical issue: The cleanup interval is never stopped when the extension deactivates. This could cause memory leaks as the interval continues running even after the extension is disabled.

Consider adding a mechanism to stop the interval on extension deactivation, perhaps by exposing a shutdown function that calls stopCleanupInterval().

Is this approach intentional? Using Promise.race here means the parser might continue running in the background even after the timeout resolves. This could lead to resource consumption.

Consider using AbortController or a similar mechanism to actually cancel the parsing operation when the timeout occurs.

The error handling approach differs between loadLanguage() (returns null) and loadRequiredLanguageParsers() (continues execution). Could we standardize this for consistency?

Also, returning null here might mask important errors. Consider differentiating between expected failures (unsupported language) and unexpected errors.

These timeout values (30s, 10s, 60s) are hardcoded throughout. Would it make sense to extract them as configurable constants at the module level? This would make it easier to tune performance based on different environments.

The new timeout functionality, memory management, and error handling paths don't appear to have test coverage. Given that this is critical functionality for preventing crashes, could we add tests to ensure these mechanisms work as expected?

const tree = parser.parse(fileContent)

Using any type here reduces type safety. Could we define proper types for the tree structure to maintain type safety throughout the Promise chain?

This cleanup function is exported but doesn't seem to be integrated into the extension's deactivation lifecycle. Should this be called when the extension deactivates to ensure proper cleanup?
