Very large files cause DOMException: The serialized keys and/or value are too large

[efokschaner]

Not a huge issue, but wanted to raise it as potentially an enhancement.

When I try to import a 230 MB file, I get an uncaught exception, and the web-ide ends up a confused state where, on the next refresh of the webpage, the 230MB file appears in the folder hierarchy but fails to load:

The exception stack in console is:

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The serialized keys and/or value are too large (size=236739504 bytes, max=133169152 bytes).
Promise.then (async)
addNewFiles @ app.ts:196
(anonymous) @ app.ts:269
(anonymous) @ FileDrop.ts:31
dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3
q.handle @ jquery.min.js:3
d @ raven.min.js:2

Just speculation on solutions below

The error seems to be coming from indexeddb (by way of localForage) and while I'm sure there's no way anyone wants to want to put 230MB files in local storage, perhaps the web ide could do a pure in-memory, non-persistent mode for files too large for storage? Or, alternatively if there was a way to run the ide with true file access (such as bundled as an desktop app or vscode plugin or something) that would also unblock working with larger files.

I believe currently it's very unlikely that it will be fixed in the current modus operandi of Web IDE. For vscode plugin, however, you can check out fudgepop01's vscode extension (sources).
