Go to definition not working for packages

[itsdfish]

I want to report that the go to definition feature is not working for packages. It does work for base functions and functions defined in the main module. Here is a discourse thread for reference.

Julia 1.6.2
VSCode 1.58.2
Julia Language Support 1.3.27

Same problem over here with

Julia 1.7.2
VSCode 1.66.2
Julia Language Support 1.6.17

on Ubuntu 20.04

I am experiencing the same problem under

Julia 1.7.3
VSCode 1.68.1
Julia Language Support 1.6.24

The "Go To Definition" feature does not work for anything outside of Base (when clicking, but they do work using the "Go to definition" button provided in the Julia Workspace pane once they are loaded into the REPL session). Some IntelliSense code suggestions do work, though (I am not entirely sure which ones to expect).

I have noticed that the docstring tooltip window prompted when hovering over a function contain appropriate file references, but they point to a non-existent /PLACEHOLDER/ directory which reminded me of this comment.

I have tried the Insiders release, too (1.6.6) on which it worked - but then it broke again after some time. I am thoroughly confused.

For me, most of the time it works (for local dev packages), but sometimes it does not.
Re-indexing packages does not help.

When I am "inside" my packge (e.g. one of the project files is opened in editor), I can go to function definitions inside that package. But not when I am in Main.

Has there been progress on this issue? I'm still experiencing the same issue, unfortunately.

Julia 1.8.5
VSCode 1.74.3 (Universal)
Julia Language Support ext 1.38.2

(Hover help doesn't work either in my case)

I am experiencing the same issue with
Julia 1.5.3 VSCode 1.74.3 (system setup) Julia Language Support 1.38.2

Same here. I have a local package, I open the corresponding directory, I am using it but neither "go to definition" nor the "help" appear.
VSCode 1.76.1 (user setup) Julia 1.6.7 Julia Language Support 1.38.2

[LucasAschenbach]

I don't know what changed but go to definition works now on my setup, both in *.jl and *.ipynb files.

Julia version 1.8.5
VSCode version 1.77.3, 704ed70d4fd1c6bd6342c436f1ede30d1cff4710, arm64
Julia Language Support version 1.38.2

Perhaps, version 1.77 of VSCode fixes some issue with this API.

I'm still experiencing this issue in the latest version of VSCode. I also get no documentation popups for anything that's not a built-in (anything I had to import with "using" or "import", including standard library like LinearAlgebra) which is really frustrating. I suspect these are related issues.

Hi, I had the same issue. I first re-installed the Julia language interpreter. After that I followed the tips here https://modernjuliaworkflows.github.io/writing/ . This fixed it, but I didn't check whether it was solved after just re-installing the language interpreter, so not sure which of the two actions solved it. Good luck!

Thanks for reporting the potential fix. Were you able to trace the solution to a specific step?
