Intellisense with symlinks in vendor?

Fran

I have a problem with intellisense with the vendors that have the symlinks. It doesn't seem to work.

I have my own package that contains "core" logic that I have linked with a symbolic link to my main project.

(the symbolic link is only on my package)

Tool used to create the symbolic link:
https://github.com/SanderSander/composer-link

(VSCode with WSL - Ubuntu)

Thanks.

Fran Thank you for the question.

We are processing vendor/composer/installed.json file to list installed composer packages - the tool is probably working in a different way.

Let me check what we can do.

Fran so far I've tested it on Windows, and it seems to work as expected. Any /vendor/{org}/{package} directory which is a symlink is indexed.

Let me try it on WSL.

I'm having the same issue on WSL. Vendor packages which are installed from github work fine, but vendor packages symlinked from one parent folder above my repository, don't work.

Any updates on this, I'm facing the same issue, while using repositories with type path in composer which in return uses symlinks in the vendor folder linking to it's path, I'm using arch linux but I think it's an issue on linux in general not for a specific distro.

shaheenfawzy thank you for reminding us.

We have released a pre-release 1.52.16308 which addresses this issue. After installing, it is recommended to run command (from Comand Palette F1): "Clear /vendor/ cache"
