vscode: Using "Selection->Expand Selection" selects wrong scope

[fkoehler]

I am not sure if this issue belongs to this repo or should live somewhere else. I am using metals with vscode and find the expand selection for scala code to be quite greedy. Here is an example snippet:

object Test {
  val foo = "bar"
  def call(s: String, s: String): Unit = ???
}

object Scope {
  Test.call(Test.foo, Test.foo)
}

Putting the cursor on the Test object name inside the Test.call call and using Selection->Expand Selection it selects first the Test object which is correct, but then the entire parentheses block and not just the member foo.

Result:

Expected:

If it is in this repo where is a starting point to look? Maybe I can figure the error out

This is probably an issue with the language sever. Check the issue could come from

• https://github.com/scalameta/metals
• https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/tree/master/vscode-dotty

Otherwise could be related with https://github.com/scala/vscode-scala-syntax/blob/master/language-configuration.json

This is quite annoying,do we have any updates now?

I think this issue can be closed. It seems to be a duplicate of scalameta/metals#3615 that is closed. With metals running I can not reproduce the issue.
