Bug ID: 526732
Summary: LSP Server/Client: files parsed only when file content
has been viewed in a visible tab
Classification: Applications
Product: kdevelop
Version First unspecified

Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

TCL files for testing
DESCRIPTION
Kdevelop LSP Client / Server functionality seems incomplete, as file contents
are not parsed by the server before file contents has been visible in the UI.
Meaning: file buffer has been rendered on a visible tab.
Even if file is opened in a editor tab, but tab has not been visible, no file
content gets parsed. Thus, for example, "Go to definition" -action does not
work. So this renders LSP server usage majorly unsusable, at the moment.
PRECONDITIONS
Using tcl-lsp-server as exmple.
1. git clone [email protected]:bitwisecook/tcl-lsp.git
2. Install rustup
3. rustup toolchain install stable
4. cargo build -r -p tcl-lsp-server
5. Copy tcl-lsp-server to a bin/ folder that is in $PATH, e.g. ~/.local/bin/
6. Enable tcl-lsp-server in Kdevelop: Settings -> LSP Client -> User Servers
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start new Kdevelop session; NOTE: Check that Messages view is cleared!
2. File -> Open -> browse to: kdevelop-tcl-lsp-server-crawl-bug/
3. Ctrl+A to select all files
4. Check that files are opened in the tabs in the order 1st tab (hidden):
include.tcl, 2nd tab: user.tcl
5. Observe in "Messages"-view: user.tcl parsed only
6. Point mouse over set_value -call -> right-click -> Go To -> Go to Definition
---- bug reproduced above; below steps for reference only ----
7. Switch to include.tcl tab
8. Observe Messages-view: include.tcl parsed
9. Go to user.tcl tab and use "Go to definition" again
OBSERVED RESULT
Step 6: Kdevelop does not jump to the function definition in include.tcl
EXPECTED RESULT
Step 6: Kdevelop should jump to function definition in include.tcl
