"Go To Definition" not working as expected.

[BeyondEvil]

Coming from PyCharm, Go to Defintion is not working as expected. Usually going to package root works - but not functions or constants etc. When it does work it just takes me to __init__.py of the package root.

MacOS 10.14.4
Visual Studio Code 1.34.0
PTVS: 2019.5.18875

FWIW I'm using pipenv.

What am I doing wrong? This is detrimental to productivity.

@BeyondEvil, is this issue related to Python Tools for Visual Studio or Python extension for Visual Studio Code?

[BeyondEvil]

@RaymonGulati1 Python extension for Visual Studio Code is what the extension says.

Am I in the wrong place then?

I couldn't find an extension called Python Tools for Visual Studio

The extensions are different between Visual Studio proper, and Visual Studio Code. This repo is for Visual Studio. This one is the VSCode extension: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python

(We can move the issue; just clarifying which one it is so as to not move it in the wrong place, if you meant to file it here!)

[BeyondEvil]

@int19h I see! Well, you learn something new every day. 😊

I would really appreciate if you could move the issue to its rightful place.

Thank you!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @BeyondEvil. We definitely want to help resolve this. It's unclear from your description what the problem is exactly. Can you provide example code that demonstrates the problem? I'd guess it would look something like this:

project/
    pkg/
        __init__.py
        spam.py
        eggs.py
    script.py

# project/pkg/__init__.py
import os.path
ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__)
__version__ = '0.1.0a1'

# project/pkg/spam.py
from .eggs import Eggs
class Spam:
    eggs = Eggs()

# project/pkg/eggs.py
class Eggs:
    n = 42

# project/script.py
import pkg
from pkg import eggs
from pkg.spam import Spam

print(Spam.eggs.n)
print(Spam.eggs == eggs.Eggs)
print(pkg.__version__)

If I "Go To Definition" on any of the names in script.py then it does the right thing for me.

Here's an example repo

e2e/utils/database.py
None of the self.db.<function> works.

e2e/tests/conftest.py

• In from api.base import Base .base and Base works. But not api. In PyCharm clicking api will highlight the directory - which is pretty useful in a large project. Same goes for all from-import imports.
• .authenticate, .add, .node.get_closest_marker, item_class.create, and .find does not work. .create will in PyCharm show a list of "Multiple Implementations". Note that User.create works.

e2e/tests/api_tests/test-api.py

• from api import apps, fixtures, orgs nothing works.
• In orgs.Org types, orgs doesn't work. (Org does work)
• .get doesn't work.

e2e/tests/api/*.py

• from api.fixtures import Fixture same as in e2e/tests/conftest.py for that type.

Note: I've listed the ones that work for me in PyCharm, but not in VSC.

I hope that makes things a little clearer! Let me know if there's anything else I can provide and/or try!

I'm using python 3.7.3.

Thanks @ericsnowcurrently!
