Hover provider returning "?" for any variable

[davidepaolotua]

Hi, first of all, gratz for the great work!

That being said, I have a problem with the hover provider, I am probably doing something wrong from my part, but I cannot really understand what. For any variable, when I hover on it, I always get a "?" as an answer, like the following one: Is it something normal or is something I can fix?

Hi @jinn999,

first of all, gratz for the great work!

Thanks! ❤️

For any variable, when I hover on it, I always get a "?" as an answer, like the following one:

? means that the semantic analysis is unable to type your variable. (see Limitations)

Is it located inside a function that never gets called in your code by any chance?

For instance: (the hidden function signature is def a(string : String))

One way to work around that issue would be to write specs testing your code (or create a file calling your functions), and use that as the entry point for crystalline.

Thanks, that was kinda it - but I'm screwed any way :) What was happening is that

• I had the entry point setup correctly (requiring all specs)
• putting statements in the entry point file was correctly giving me the definitions.
• Specs still were not analyzed - hovering on variables in the specs was failing
• creating a new basic (require "spec") spec was working.

I found out that the reason for this is that I don't use the normal builtin library for specs, but "spectator". Code written in specs goes into a macro, so that is probably the reason why I was not seeing anything :/

Thanks a lot for the info and again gratz!

Ah yeah I guess that's it unfortunately :/.
