Hi @uxkjaer

I am a bit conflicted about this feature:

Pros:

it is quite cool
and may be useful.

Cons:

It is not quite the regular "go to definition" behavior I am used to as it does not navigate to source code.
It feels more like it is "go to docs" which is already implemented when you hover and then click on "more-information".
So we have a bit of duplicate feature, (go-to-docs) which is implemented in two different ways (browser redirect vs webview inside vscode).

@petermuessig WDYT?

I think I should also consult with the product person responsible for this.

uxkjaer · 2022-09-29T20:12:26Z

My take on it.

youis often needs to read the api and check something.
The hover scroll down and click isn't really useful for me.
we currently don't have any other useful use case for the go to definition in an XML view
further possibilities are:
to pick up where there cursor is placed ie event or aggregation and handle deep navigation
implement a go to samples option as well. This could be maybe implementations.

I know we aren't navigating source code, but we don't have any other useful use case for these options. We could simply add our own as well and a different short cut. My idea was that you were already used to the f12 shortcut to go and read a definition.

bd82 · 2022-09-29T20:56:16Z

Good points I will setup a meeting with you and the relevant product person 👍

Hi Jacob,
I think this is a good solution.
There is already a similar plugin from Jacek:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jacek-wozniczak.vscode-ui5-api-reference
I tried this plugin and personally I prefer to have a separate browser window.
But that could also have to do with the fact that it was formatted differently here.

But you are right, I didn't know the function of "more information".

I think the use case of Jakob is a good one and can help nicely, even if I probably won't use it.
But maybe it is well implemented and I will use it :)

vobu · 2022-09-30T07:29:15Z

just also wanted to bring up @wozjac's extension.
and there is also a .docset from @monavari-lebrecht at http://monavari.de/docset/ .
sooo...in best Ghostbuster's style 👻, why not combine the streams and ...

incorporate @wozjac's extension here, into the language assistant itself (and award him eternal fame)
provide an option to export to .docset, taking up @monavari-lebrecht's work
have @uxkjaer's API ref in the webview as a "read more"-link of sorts, being available from the incorporated @wozjac's extension

uxkjaer · 2022-10-01T09:57:02Z

We could also consider just using a custom menu option and command instead, if that makes more sense?

bd82 · 2022-10-01T23:21:17Z

We could also consider just using a custom menu option and command instead, if that makes more sense?

Perhaps:

Would it ever make sense to ever implement a go-to-definition that would open the source code of UI5?
So if we keep it as currently implemented would it conflict with such a future feature?

I am generally in favor of this (or similar) feature, But it a major feature and I'd like to demonstrate it to the
relevant product person, but with the holidays season in Israel now, this will add some delay...

uxkjaer · 2022-10-02T02:50:11Z

We have types for openui5 and Sapui5 so maybe navigate to those instead?

Happy to just add this as another menu option instead. Mainly I'm just keen to get a possibility not to leave vscode when needing to search the api.
We could also have another one for going to samples.

Happy to discuss this with relevant people.

uxkjaer · 2022-10-12T13:41:55Z

I've changed the shortcut and context menu to UI5-Language-Assistant: View API Reference. The go to definition no longer shows the api reference. I've also added a setting with options to either show API reference inside vscode or in browser.

 };

+export function getNodeName(


why does the language server exposes a logical utility function?
It generally runs in a different process and communicates via JSON_RPC

Generally the language server should use logical utilities from other packages.
Maybe getNodeName should be extracted out of the language server sub-package.

with so many arguments, some of which are optional you should probably use a config object in this case.

I think too much is done here in a single expression.
Can you split this up into multiple statements for readability?

+async function fetchModel(cachePath, framework, ui5Version) {
+  const ui5Model = await getSemanticModel(cachePath, framework, ui5Version);


I do not recall:
Does every functional flow invoke getSemanticModel ?
Or does it happen once on language server startup?

Is this different or the same as other functional flows?

Again I do not recall.
Does every flow functional flow re-parses the text each time?
Or is there a cache of documents / CST?

why does this feature require adding the cache path to the notifications?
Perhaps I am rusty in regards to this code base, but why was it not needed for other features, but needed here?

I think we need to review this in a "pair programing" session.
I get the feeling this PR has broken some assumptions on the code structure in this mono-repo.
But I am a bit rusty in regards to this project...
