Go to Implementation and similar funtionality failing silently when project doesn't build

[achobanov]

Type: Feature Request

Issue Description

I'm not sure what ambrela term to use, please forgive my ignorance, but I'll call it static analysis - i.e. context about types, their implementation, references and diagnostics and quick fix actions. All of that sometimes stops working. My guess is that happens when I switch a branch and some binaries aren't yet built, or there is a compile-tyme error, but I'm not sure. The issue is fixed usually by attempt to build or restart of the IDE or both

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure, but you can try to change branches with conflicting changes - i.e. changes on the same files in both branches.

Expected Behavior

This should either not happen or at least the IDE should provide relevant feedback - i.e. build error or at least a suggestion to try rebuild.

Actual Behavior

Simply says no "Implementations found" or similar

A couple questions

1. Is the reference you're navigating to used cross language (e.g. in C# and in a Razor file)?
2. Can you confirm if the server sees the file in the correct project? I highly recommend pinning the active file context item in the language status bar:
   
3. Can you enable trace logging as described here - https://github.com/dotnet/vscode-csharp/blob/main/SUPPORT.md#collecting-general-logs to capture the trace logs when the navigation fails?
4. Any other details on what actions were being taken before the navigation failed? Does it always occur on branch switch? Does it eventually work?

[achobanov]

1. It could be cross language, but c# only usage breaks as well
2. Cannot confirm right now, but this has happened before and file was in the correct project
3. I thought I did that, will do again
4. Happened couple of time when I was navigating away from a branch with a lot of changes to another branch with fewer changes (both branched of develop). Doesn't happen every time. Regarding if eventually works - effectively no, at least not in a few minutes.
