`systemverilog.includeIndexing` cannot resolve relative path

[xiaosiyu0603]

Assuming my project is at /home/user/project with a subfolder rtl, and I only want to index files in /home/user/project/rtl, I open VS Code at /home/user/project. When I set "systemverilog.includeIndexing" as rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh} or ./rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh} or ${workspaceFolder}/rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh}, no files would be indexed. Only when it was set as /home/user/project/rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh} could the files be indexed.

My environment: development via Remote-ssh Local OS: Windows 7 (Windows_NT x64 6.1.7601) Remote OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Linux version 5.4.0-107) VS Code: 1.63.2 (both OS) SystemVerilog - Language Support: 0.12.1

Would anyone know if there is any solution to solve the problem? Tks!

EDIT: This is not a bug. The best way to do this is with the following syntax: **/rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh}. If a pattern starts with *, it is searched relative to the workspace root. Otherwise, the full path on the disk is assumed. I will improve the documentation on this.

Yup, this is a bug. To work around this for now, please add a * as the first character of the setting. For example: *rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh}. This will switch the parser into a different mode that will make this work. I'll add a fix to search for relative files soon.

Hello an additional question. I am using the remote ssh plugin. From where I opened my folder, my rtl files are in /rtl and down, similar to above they can be in /rtl/xyz is it reasonable to expect to use **/rtl/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh} as well?

I have added

    "systemverilog.includeIndexing": [
        "**/logical/**/*.{sv,v,svh,vh}"
    ]

To my remote settings.

Now when I click the indexing button at the bottom it seems to be indexing for a very long time.

Given the project is VERY large I dont know how long it should take (some files are more than 4000 lines, and had to extend the limit) Is there a way to see if its doing the right thing?

I tried to find the definition of a module but it cant find any :/

@joecrop Thanks a lot! I followed your advice and it works well!
