Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

When a new python file is created, I am unable to get the editor to recognize the module without restarting Zed.

This might have to do with Pyright, I am unsure.

Environment

Zed: v0.124.8 (Zed)
OS: macOS 14.3.1
Memory: 64 GiB
Architecture: aarch64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

If applicable, attach your ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log file to this issue.

If you only need the most recent lines, you can run the zed: open log command palette action to see the last 1000.

No response

Or restart LSP only.

In the past, I've made the assumption that this was just a pyright deficiency, but I'm going to throw this on the project board for next week's quality week and have someone more qualified than I see if there's anything we can do on our end - even if we need to put in a hack.

This looks to be a Pyright issue indeed; we properly notify a language server about path changes, yet it doesn't react.
Oddly enough, when I've set PYRIGHT_PYTHON_DEBUG environment variable to get LSP logs, the whole thing started working. weird.

Are you saying that new modules are being recognized, without restarting, while in debug mode? If there are no performance issues with it, I wonder if we can just stay in debug mode. Others may not agree, but I think I'm for putting in a hack here to get this to work, since I hope to be rid of Pyright somewhere down the line anyway. That being said, the issue with relying on some weird side effect is that it might go away at any moment.

[osiewicz]

Yeah, it seems like it does in fact work. We do notify the language server properly of changes in the local worktree, and with pyright.json config file, dependency installation is handled just fine as well.
My PyRight version is 1.1.332, which is quite old.

Please do reopen this issue if you run into it again.

@osiewicz and I double checked and it seems like pyright is currently

• resolving imports to newly-added local files
• resolving imports to newly-added dependencies, if you have a pyrightconfig.json file properly configured and added

The version of pyright listed in my ~/Library/Application Support/Zed/languages/pyright/package.json is ^1.1.320

Is anyone else able to reproduce the original issue here?
