There was a problem hiding this comment.
can we move this under daml/daml-ide-mono? feels a bit too niche for a top-level directory

This is something I set up locally to help other Obsidian people work on their changes to Splice a bit more quickly, and figured that it might also be useful to other Splice developers, so I'm making this PR.
The idea is to fashion a directory of symbolic links to the actual source files to serve as a single fake package that can be loaded by the LSP, making development cycles much shorter, as you no longer have to wait for
sbtto build the DARs that your tests depend on, the LSP can often react to changes more or less instantaneously. (Of course, if your test itself is slow to run, you still need to wait for that... but an extra 12-20 seconds or something is a nice win regardless.)NB: I also ran into an issue with the current Daml Language Server's timeout mechanism when I did this. PR of my fix to the LSP client. The initial load of the large fake package this creates (happens once on editor startup) may take just a little too long for the LSP client's fixed timeout, causing the whole scheme not to work out very well. The LSP kills
damlcand then dies itself. Adding in a mechanism to reset the timer wheneverdamlcproduces output proving that it's still working fixed that, but I also added a way to configure the timeouts.Pull Request Checklist
