Hi @BrianOSH ,

The separators depends on the language extension (that you are using) to provide each symbol that could have a separator. I would ask you to open the Outline View, in order to identify what it displays on both scenarios, and share the print screen in a comment.

BTW, I suppose *.gdscript files are related to Godot, right?

[BrianOSH]

gdscript is used by Godot. How do I open the Outline View?

[alefragnani]

You either use the Explorer: Focus on Outline View command, via Command Palette, or look for it in the bottom of the (native) Explorer Panel, near the Timeline view.

[BrianOSH]

Without a class_name no symbols found in document 'file.gd' is printed in the outline view. With a class_name all functions are printed in the outline view.

This bug only happens if the file starts with a comment if the file doesn't start with a comment all functions appear in the outline view regardless of a class_name or not.

gdscript functions start with the keyword 'func'

I hope this helps

It looks like the language extension has the bug. if i disable your extension and start the file with a comment no functions appear in the outline view.

[alefragnani]

That's what I would say about that. The language extension doesn't seems to recognize that file structure (without class_name).

I would suggest you to report that on the language extension issues, so the team could take a look, and fix the issue or point you in another direction, if that's the case.

Hope this helps

The language extension doesn't seems to recognize that file structure (without class_name). Only if the file starts with a comment...

I will pass this info onto them as you suggest Thanks for the quick response and your help.

[alefragnani]

BTW, which language extension are you using?

[BrianOSH]

godot-tools v2.3.0

Issue opened in language extension repo: https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/issues/759 Considered duplicate of https://github.com/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/issues/658 Considered issue in the LSP https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/98164 MR that fixes the issue https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/98164

I suppose once the MR is merged, and a new release is published, the separators should work just fine.
