hover is not working as intended

[qyte]

example follows

--a.lua
local t = GlobalTable

t.settings = {
test = 1
}

--b.lua

local b = GlobalTable.settings

print(b.test)

when hovering over settings i can see test = 1

when i type b. i get NO autocomplete and hovering over b says local b: any {}

b shows test:any only because i hard coded it inside print.

Reverting to 0.21.12 for now

Should be fixed in 1.0.2

After version 2.0 this issue has again made it through of sorts

version 2.3.4 hover but the same exists for all version 2.x onwards

version 1.21.3 (latest 1.x)

a much cleaner hover that actually shows the values

For performance reasons, I currently do not track the assignment of global variables to a local variable.
It is recommended that you directly use global variables to define fields.

I use lua for a WoW addon i maintain and since require is not supported there is literally no other way to share tables between files besides the namespace table provided by wow lua or using globals
And i need to rely on/use subtables of subtables all the time

i use locals for shorthand access for easy auto-completion and hover for checking if i misstyped something somewhere.

I am currently sacrificing some accuracy in exchange for performance optimization, but I continue to focus on this matter and explore better solutions that take into account accuracy and performance.
In the worst case, I intend to provide options for you to customize whether to enable certain optimizations.

I will try some methods tomorrow to restore the search method mentioned in this issue.

ok version 2.4.8 was working the best way possible but after the 2.4.9 onwards hover is broken again.
