## Slow Task Provider Warning

[Since vscode v1.40](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_40#_slow-task-provider-warning) you will see warning notifications when the gradle task provider takes too long.

It can take a while to refresh the gradle tasks, so you should permanently ignore this warning by clicking on "Don't warn again for gradle tasks", or add the following to your `settings.json`:

```json
"task.slowProviderWarning": [
  "gradle"
]
```
