VSCode taking a very long time to format saved file

Tooling VS Code
1

I have VSCode set to automatically format .jl files on save, and also to save files whenever focus changes.

Most of the time this works brilliantly, formatting my files in a flash. But occasionally formatting a file will take several minutes for a 150 line file.

Has anybody else encountered this?

I’m running the julia extension for VSCode version 1.38.2

system info:

julia> versioninfo()

Maybe it’s taking a while to load everytime the language server has to restart. What setting are you using to format files on save?

Here are my vscode settings:

    "terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell": [
        "language-julia.interrupt"
    ],
