Can not go to definition and remote "latest" compiler version is still 0.8.19

[ClaudeZsb]

I have two project, one with solc 0.8.19 and the other one with solc 0.8.21.

First of all, within the project with solc 0.8.19, I have default extension settings, which means in this workspace, remote and latest compiler will be used. If you run cmd Solidity: get compiler release, you'll see that the latest is 0.8.23. But if you run cmd Solidity: compiler information, you'll get Compiler using remote version: 'latest', solidity version: 0.8.19+commit.7dd6d404.Emscripten.clang. So this is my first question, that the remote latest solc is somehow locked on 0.8.19.

Secondly, within the project with solc 0.8.19, I cannot use goto definition and references, and hover neither. Output of Solidity language server said that

[Error - 15:14:40] Request textDocument/hover failed.
  Message: Request textDocument/hover failed with message: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'sort')
  Code: -32603 
[Error - 15:14:40] Request textDocument/definition failed.
  Message: Request textDocument/definition failed with message: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'sort')
  Code: -32603 

Within the project with solc 0.8.21, since the latest remote is 0.8.19, I've already changed it to remote 0.8.21 instead of latest. Hover seems good. But when you want to goto definition or references, the output log said that

[Error - 15:17:17] Request textDocument/definition failed.
  Message: Request textDocument/definition failed with message: Maximum call stack size exceeded
  Code: -32603 

Although, goto definition or references didn't work for both of projects, their reason seems to be different.

Same issue maybe: #437

@ClaudeZsb check the latest and see if it fixes it

[fluffywaffles]

On latest (vscode-solidity-server@0.0.171), and curiously, the server seems to be trying to use multiple versions at once--and it insists on installing soljson-latest.js, which I am assuming is where 0.8.19 is coming from... LSP log output attached. I have scrubbed from the log output some details about the code in question, but it is still largely complete.

What's interesting to me is the Validating using compiler version lines, which sometimes say 0.8.23 (yay!) but then it switches to 0.8.19... It almost seems like a race condition, and 0.8.19 always eventually wins, even if for a short time I get proper diagnostics from 0.8.23.

This is still happening to me.

Me as well, but usually if I re-open the file a few times by spamming :e it eventually works. 😅

Looking closely my issue is that I can't even make it not use the embedded version... It always picks the embedded/latest which is the default. neovim/nvim-lspconfig#3562

[fluffywaffles]

I specify a specific remote version in my `init.lua`, so that might be helping in my case. I can't rely on the version detection + selection support in the LSP, so I just modify my config when I need to compile solidity files with different version pragmas. It's not ideal, but it's sufficient at this time.

I tried that, using 0.8.26+commit.8a97fa7a instead of 0.8.26, but unfortunately didn't change anything for me.

@fluffywaffles Would you mind sharing your solidity LSP config, nvim version and the version of the vscode-solidity? I find it weird that we have different behaviors in our setup.
