gopls: cannot use the find all reference in the source code that go mod depends on

[Lanhu-wangrui]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

cannot use the find all reference in the source code that go mod depends on, so the result obtained is only workspace, not in all projects (including dependencies)

Describe the solution you'd like

I hope that the "find all references" feature in the source code can correctly display where it is used, otherwise, it won't work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

• results currently found through find

• the actual result

Hi @Lanhu-wangrui

Thanks for reporting this issue. I need some more information so I can fully understand the symptom you are observing:

The first screenshot indicates you are viewing the definition of resolver.Register from the module cache under the dir of ~/go/pkg/mod/.... This is kind of weird because in the second screen, it clearly indicated that you have vendor folder in your workspace. So you must open the go module you are working on.

|- foo    <-  vscode open folder
  |- other folders
  |- vendor

If you open the foo module like this, when you try to execute Go To Definition of resolver.Register, gopls should take you to the definition under vendor instead of the module cache. And if you execute Find All Reference it should give you all the references in your vendor folder and your foo module.

Take this screenshot as example, unix.CLOEXEC is a const defined in x/sys/unix. When I execute Find All References from the main go module, the references show me both the definition under vendor vendor/golang.org/x/sys/unix and another reference under vendor vendor/github.com/fsnotify...

Basically, when you are using vendor, gopls will use the resolver.Register in vendor as the source of truth instead of the function in module cache under go/mod/.... So in your second screenshot, could you try execute Find All References from any of those ressolver.Register and see if the references result is expected or not.
