Autocomplete/goto definition does not work for code aliases defined inside a macro

Precheck

[x] Do a quick search and make sure the issue has not yet been reported [x] Do not use the issues tracker for guidance, questions or support (try Elixir Forum, Stack Overflow, Slack, etc. instead) [x] If using a client other than VS Code, please try VSCode's "ElixirLS: Elixir support and debugger" extension. Does it reproduce your failure?

Environment

• Elixir & Erlang versions (elixir --version): Erlang/OTP 26 [erts-14.2.1] [source] [64-bit] [smp:10:10] [ds:10:10:10] [async-threads:1] [jit] | Elixir 1.16.0 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 26)
• Elixir Language Server version: Started ElixirLS v0.19. | ElixirLS built with elixir "1.16.0" on OTP "26" | Running on elixir "1.16.0 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 26)" on OTP "26"
• Operating system: macOS 14.2.1
• Editor or IDE name (e.g. Emacs/VSCode): VSCode 1.85.2
• Editor Plugin/LSP Client name and version:

Current behavior

If I define an alias inside a macro other than __using__ there is no autocomplete of go to definition for that alias. If I define the very same alias inside a __using__ macro, everything works as expected.

I made this repository that reproduce the issue: https://github.com/Gigitsu/macro_alias_issue

Expected behavior

Aliases should be defined in a generic macro should be recognized as well as the alias defined inside a __using__ macro

I don’t see how that could be done without actually executing client code in language server. If you want to give it a try please look into elixir_sense MetadataBuilder module. This is the code that tries to expand use macro and does AST based inferience

Thank you @lukaszsamson, I'll give it a look!

I think I can close this. Thanks
