Opening init.lua starts loading workspace #1975
Description
Hey I'm pretty new to nvim.
This issue feels that I'm might have wrong setup or something. but every time I open init.lua as a config for nvim it shows loading workspace and it can take up to 2 mins.
I'd appreciate any idea why it's happening
Thx

If you are talking about the "loading workspace" messages in the bottom right corner:
This is normal. It means that the lua-language-server is loading all the modules required by your
init.luafile. It needs to do that so that you can get autocompletion on things like this:oriori1703 commentedon Apr 2, 2026
eamonburns is right on point :)
Though if it takes 2 minutes maybe we should consider re-adding lazydev / switching to emmylua (if it is already stable enough)

checkout #2163 if you want to try out emmylua and give feedback :)
