DSL runtime workspace blocks at start waiting for non-existing .*._trace files to be refreshed [message #1774897]

When I start the run-time workspace of an Xtext 2.12 project, Eclipse tries to refresh some non-exsiting files in the src-gen folder and blocks infinitely. The files names all follow the same pattern: they start with a dot ".", then comes the name of some actually generated file from src-gen and they end with "._trace". See attachment.

Can one prevent Xtext generating these files (or better, thinking it generated them although it didn't) and ultimately, can one stop it trying to refresh them?

Thank you for your help,
Günter

You can try to customize EclipseResourceFileSystemAccess2 gettracefile and return null always

And you should stop killing your runtime was and do a proper shutdown so there is no rebuild at all

With Xtext 2.13 you can bind ITraceForStorageProvider to ITraceForStorageProvider.Null for this. But since you use 2.12, go with Christian.

Would be interesting if you can provide a reproducing example so that we could fix this. We can only fix what we are also experiencing, but never faced that so far. You may create a bug report with a detailed description.

the other problem is that the message in the progress monitor is outdated and it shows refreshing while that is finished long ago
