It seems "# Go to Symbol" in Workspace not able to search for Java Methods or Classes

[alexandertsukanov]

Hey everyone, it seems that I'm unable to find any Java methods, symbols, or classes when I use the "# symbol command". My expectation is that when I type or search in this manner, I should see the corresponding methods and relevant classes, etc. However, that is not happening.

Environment

• Operating System: macOS 14.16.1
• JDK version: 17
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.91.1
• Java extension version: 1.34.0 (August 29th, 2024)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open any Java project
2. Wait until indexing will finish
3. Try to search for some method or symbol

You would be able to search for any class in the classpath, but currently only methods declared in the project itself (not libraries), assuming "java.symbols.includeSourceMethodDeclarations": true. I just tried it out with 1.93.1 & 1.91.1, on vscode-java 1.34.0, and it seems to be working.

Does the project import successfully without errors ? You should see that the language server is in the ready state in the bottom left corner.

If you open a Java source file, you should see that a JDK has been configured, based on the project's build settings :

Hey, @rgrunber !
Thank you very much for your support. It seems the option you provided has worked for me:
"java.symbols.includeSourceMethodDeclarations": true
Thanks!

For reference, if you wanted to look through all method declarations, even from dependencies of the project, this is a feature I definitely want to have adopted (See eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1712 ). It's just that we need a particular feature (partial search) so it won't be too slow on larger projects.
