Can't find methods in symbol search

[ddadon10]

Hi, thanks for this amazing extension :)

I can't find method in symbol search by doing > Go to Symbol in Workspace in VSCode. I only can find class.

But when I do > Go to Symbol in Editor I can find method and class in the current file.

Is it an issue related to VSCode? Or is it known that the plugin can't find methods using > Go to Symbol in Workspace?

Edit: Clean up the issue to improve readability.

Workspace symbols are only available for types. So it's expected you won't find methods.
Given the search is performed for all types for all classpath dependencies of all the projects in the workspace, adding method search on top would most likely have a very negative impact on the performance

Hi Fred :) Thanks for the answer!

Make sense,

How it would be possible to exclude classpath dependencies from the symbol search only and therefore enabling the method search without impacting performance?

Is it kind of related to this issue ?

Or is it more of a Java Server Language Server Issue?

Thanks!

With eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1688, this is partly supported through java.symbols.includeSourceMethodDeclarations . We don't include all methods in the classpath, because as mentioned above, that would be a huge performance hit. It's the main reason the property is disabled by default for just source methods.

Once eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1712 gets addressed, the performance should be less of an issue, but that depends on microsoft/vscode#105870 .
