The methods are appearing twice on the 'Go to symbol' menu

[EduYukio]

Hello!
I use an extension to show the methods of a file called vscode-go-to-method. After installing the lua-language-server, it started to show the methods twice.

I assumed that it was a conflict of extensions, and the LuaLS extension already had some way of listing the file's methods, so I tried disabling the 'go-to-method' extension. But even with only the LuaLS installed, the 'Go to symbol' menu (Ctrl+Shift+O) still shows duplicate functions and fields.

This is not a problem that is happening only on my computer: my work colleague is experiencing the same problem.

There is one more thing that I noticed that it's very strange: when there is an error in the file, the duplication problem disappears:

Does anyone know what could be happening?

I don't seem to have multiple entries for my current file. Are you using a library? Some more details about your workspace will be needed.

Thank you for your time, but I discovered what is wrong: it's an extension conflict between the lua-language-server and the vscode-lua. I use the latter to format my code with luafmt and to check for errors with luacheck.

I think the problem is the "Go to symbol" feature that it has. Sadly, the vscode-lua doesn't let me disable that feature, and I think I can't disable it on the lua-language-server either, right?

I think I will try to clone the vscode-lua repository and create a new extension without the "Go to symbol" feature. If it works, I'll post the link here to solve this problem for others too.

I fixed the conflict by creating a new extension, which is the same as the vscode-lua by trixnz, but with the option to disable the "Go to Symbol" feature. If anybody wants it, its here: vscode-lua-no-symbol.
