Can't find references to variables or constant any-more [message #1821115]

Dear forum,

I have recently upgraded my linux box to Fedora 31 and the installation of eclipse from their repository is really unstable (often crashes). Therefore, I switched to using the installer from eclipse.org. So I have installed the PHP flavor from this installer and imported my projects.

This more or less works but for some reasons I can no longer find references to a variable/constant in my projects (more precisely, always find 0 references). Note that I can find references to functions and classes and I can access to the definitions of all objects (variables, constants, function and classes) with the usual shortcut (Ctrl + click or the contextual menu).

Do you have any idea ?

Some information:
- OS: Fedora 31
- Eclipse: 2019-09
- PDT: 7.0

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu

I have tried to install Eclipse 2019-12 but the behaviour seems the same.

Have you something in logs? Window -> Show View -> Other -> Error Log

Make sure auto-build is enabled. Project -> Build Automatically

You can also re-build your workspace: Project -> Clean and select all

There is message at startup: Unable to retrieve the bundle from the URI: bundleclass://org.eclipse.launchbar.ui.controls/org.eclipse.launchbar.ui.controls.internal.LaunchBarControl

Auto-build was enabled.

I have tried that: build goes without any error but validation triggers a lot of errors. AFAICT they are all JS errors (our JS files are written in typescript but the extension is .js). The log is attached.

I have tried to start from a fresh work space with a new project containing only the attached file: I can find references to the function get_answer but not to the variable answer.

This look like bug in PDT or DLTK. I'm not sure for now.

Thanks for confirming this. Can you reproduce this bug or is this something related to my installation ?

Please find attached a slightly more complete version of the test file.

I can find references to the class, methods and functions but not to the variables or the constant.

I was about to report a bug on PDT bugzilla. If you think that helps, just tell me.

Bugzilla will be best place for that, and will allow you to track ;)
