Motivation
I noticed we weren't guessing the correct types even in situations where I expected us to. The issue turns out to be not preferring exact matches.
For example, where
type
is used in the LSP itself, we ended up guessingParseResultType
from Prism because that was the first constant ending withType
that we found.I think we can improve our accuracy by preferring exact matches over partial ones.
Implementation
Started looking for exact matches first, falling back to our original partial matches.
Automated Tests
Added a test that reproduces the scenario.
