Does code navigation work in Linux?

[andersonsc10]

Hi, I'm using Linuxmint, with vscode, all dependencies installed, global, ctags, ctags-exuberant, Pygments, I ran the command to update the tags, but when trying to go to a reference it doesn't work, is there anything else that needs to be done?

Hi @andersonsc10 ,

Even without ever using it on Linux or Mac, I would say it should work.

Are you able to generate tags in terminal/shell, using the gtags command, in the root folder of your project? Under the hood, the extension uses gtags to generate the initial tags, and global to update tags and to find the symbols. Since the extension has no setting to define a path for any tool, those tools needs to be on environment variables. If terminal works, then execute Developer: Toggle Developer Tools command and look the Console for error, while using the Pascal: Generate Tags and/or Pascal: Update Tags command.

Hope this helps

Just to let you know, I was able to run it on Linux (WSL in fact), and it seems to be working just fine.

I followed the install/setup of ctags/global/python instructions in this comment (#61 (comment)) in #61. Worth a try.

Hope this helps
