Is there a way to increase the saveTimeout value in DocumentsMainImpl?

[safisa]

Hi,
I am using vscode.workspace.onWillSaveTextDocument in the resolveCustomTextEditor (vscode.CustomTextEditorProvider), this method has a saveTimeout of 1750ms in the saveTimeout class in Theia.
Sometimes the save operation takes more than this timeout value and it is rejected in the DocumentsMainImpl class.
Is there a way to override this timeout?

Thanks

Hey @safisa,

I believe the timeout stems from VS Code itself, see here. It is very hardcoded in there.

Assuming you get somehow access to the RPCProtocol object in the browser frontend, you should be able to get the DocumentsMainImpl instance and adjust the timeout, given that it's just a protected field.

However, I don't think there's an intended way of adjusting the timeout. Feel free to contribute a PR to improve this :)
