Documentation on hover doesn't seem to work. #4

Closed maximebl closed 3 years ago

maximebl commented 3 years ago

The extension description mentions that it provides "Documentation on hover". However when I hover my mouse over any function, all I get back is a tooltip that says No usage message. I'm fairly confident that I have installed the extension correctly, since most of the features including syntax highlighting and diagnostic errors are working correctly.

Can you provide some more information?

What is the precise path for WolframKernel on your system?

If you start that WolframKernel and evaluate Sin::usage what is the result?

maximebl commented 3 years ago

The path on my system is: C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Wolfram Engine\12.3\WolframKernel.exe and this is the path being used by the extension. If I start that kernel and type Sin::usage I get nothing back:

In[1]:= Sin::usage
Out[1]= Sin::usage

Right, usage messages are missing in Wolfram Engine in 12.3, but they will be included in the upcoming 13.0 release.

Ok that's good to hear! Thank you.
