Find references not working across the project but only on opened files about lsp HOT 8 CLOSED

LSP-eslint is a linter. It doesn't provide any references.

If you meant to say LSP-typescript then provide a log from LSP: Toggle Log Panel command.

If you are talking about the Sublime Text show_definitions popup:

This popup has nothing to do with LSP, it is a Sublime Text feature that can be turned of with "show_definitions: false in Sublime Text preferences.

LSP find references look like this:

Thanks for that clarification! I should have known :/

Though it appears, the same issue happens when I find references via the LSP right-click menu as well as the Sublime Text hover references option. References are only checked if the file is open.

Sounds like a Sublime error, might ask in the forums.

This is the perfect place to ask questions about LSP :⁠-⁠)

I do not quite know what exactly you are seeing,
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Also, do you have LSP-typescript installed?

If yes, please see the message above

Cool! Here is what I mean, and this is with using the right-click > lsp > find references option. I have also attached the LSP-typescript config log.

It all depends on the tsconfig.json configuration in your project. If typescript is not told where to look for your files then it will only be able to handle open files.

You should check for tsconfig.json is parent directories up to the workspace root.

The thing is we are not using Typescript thus there is no tsconfig.json. Its a React project but just using js/jsx. Where would I configure the files' location in this case?

Also, it's a big monorepo, if that matters.

from lsp.

You were right! Got it working with the below jsconfig.json :)

{
  "include": ["shells/direct-shell/src/**/*"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "**/node_modules/*"],
}

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
