Motivation
In the original Ruby LSP indexer, we did not handle the resolution of parent scopes used in definitions. For example:
Similarly this example
We also did not handle method definition receivers correctly, which don't advance the lexical scope, but modify the type of
self. For example:Implementation
There are two main parts to fix, which can be found in the first commit:
def self.fooas a singleton entry in the node context nesting. Method receivers don't advance the lexical scope and do not influence constant resolution. They only influence the type ofselfThen I made the necessary adjustments on the type inferrer.
Automated Tests
The last commit includes a bunch of tests verifying that we're correctly handling these cases in definition and hover.
