Symbol renaming does not work.

[L117]

Describe the bug
When you open freestanding python file and try to rename symbol, nothing happens.

To Reproduce

1. Create empty directory.
2. Create empty python file inside it.
3. Open it with your editor of choice (Tried with Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text 4).
4. Type something like:

   def foo():
       pass
   

5. Save it.
6. Try to rename symbol by clicking on function name and choosing "Rename symbol" (VS Code).
7. See a popup message "No result".

Expected behavior
Symbol gets renamed.

VS Code extension or command-line
Both? v2021.6.944021595

I'm not able to repro this problem.

Are you opening the directory or the file? You need to open a file to establish a workspace. Symbol rename happens within a workspace.

Since this isn't a core type checking feature, I'm going to transfer it to the pylance-release repo.

I'm opening a file, not a directory.
Oh, I should have mentioned: I'm using Fedora 34, not Windows.

Yes we are aware open file mode is lacking in some features.
