Navigation not working

[wy672515431]

Navigation is not working in version 2.4.x(I have tried 2.40, 2.4.1, 2.4.2).After switching back to 2.3.1, it works fine.

Cann you tell me which navigation is not working?

[wy672515431]

for example, I want to navigate to "grammarType". with version 2.4.x, it does not work.

I guess you mean cmd/ctlr + click on that identifier to navigate to the defining rule, ok.

I was about to open a separate issue but this but with a little extra detail. If my vscode window reloads or I open a fresh g4 file the go-to definition (cmd/ctrl + click) doesn't work. If I add some arbitrary whitespace to the doc and then hit save then the extension seems to activate and the go-to definitions start working again.

I am running on a remote workspace

Most of the features need generated parser files (and interpreter data). On opening a grammar that data should be generated automatically (see the .antlr folder beside the grammar) and is updated whenever you change a grammar and save it. It's very likely that the initial generation did not happen, for whatever reason.

Hi @mike-lischke - I can confirm that the .antlr folder is present and has all the generated files. In the screen recording above I'm recreating the issue by reloading my window when the extension features are working (my workspace is remote over ssh) -- when the window is done reloading the features don't work until after the grammar files are saved again.

I would have expected the activation of the extension to happen because the files are already open when the window loads. It's not a huge deal but because I'm over ssh my window needs to be reloaded every time the computer sleeps/ssh connection is closed.
