Expected Behaviour
When you make any changes to the workspace's file tree (e.g. add a new file, rename a file), LuaLS becomes aware of them.
Actual Behaviour
New/renamed files are only recognized so long as they are open in the editor and completely forgotten about once closed.
Reproduction steps
- Add a new file to your existing workspace with the following content:
---@class TestClass
local TestClass = {}
function TestClass.test()
end
return TestClass- Save it and close the editor tab.
- Require this file into a local in some other, preexisting file.
- Observe that the local is of unknown type.
Additional Notes
Re-running diagnostics doesn't fix this. The only workaround I have found is to completely restart VSCode.
From my limited understanding of LuaLS code, I think it has something to do with cached files. And there is no way to discard and rebuild the cache without exiting VSCode that I could find.
