No symbols for file when methods are on a type defined in another file

[ramya-rao-a]

In a package have 2 Go files

The first file:

package main

func main() {}
type foo int

The second file:

package main

func (*foo) Hello() {}
func (*foo) Bye()   {}

The symbol provider doesnt provide any symbols for the second file.

	},
	},
	},

There is already a test case for this. Do you mean that in both files the symbols request should return Hello and Bye?

No. What we saw was there were no symbols being returned in the second file.

@harikb Can you update your language server and try again? To avoid the case that you have an older version of the tool?

@ramya-rao-a , it does seem to work after I updated the language server. I did not remember that language-server was installed via a separate go get command. Sorry about this. Although the UI appears slightly different. I guess that may be the difference with langage-server mode.

With language-server

With-out language-server

NOTE: The syntax error (red underline) shown on package main line is because of microsoft/vscode-go#1914 (unrelated to this issue). At the moment, vs code won't work for me until that is fixed. I will update this ticket after that spurious error is resolved.
