textDocument/documentSymbol response only show the range of the name of method/class. about eclipse.jdt.ls HOT 2 CLOSED

textDocument/documentSymbols supports both a list of SymbolInformation & DocumentSymbol. DocumentSymbol is the one that includes a range & selectionRange.

It looks like JDT-LS is only returning what appears to be SymbolInformation for you. Is your client setting hierarchicalDocumentSymbolSupport? If you aren't then JDT-LS will continue to return non-hierarchical symbols, which lack the API to specify both ranges :

Part of the issue is we didn't migrate our non-hierarchical textDocument/documentSymbols implementation to also use DocumentSymbol (it still uses SymbolInformation).

Hi Roland, thanks so much for your prompt reply, I really appreciate it. After specifying hierarchicalDocumentSymbolSupport to be true, I got what I wanted.

Specifically, in the initialize message, I specified:

"documentSymbol": {
    "dynamicRegistration": false,
    "symbolKind": {
        "valueSet": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]
    },
    "hierarchicalDocumentSymbolSupport": true,
    "tagSupport": {
        "valueSet": [1]
    },
    "labelSupport": true
    },

Since the issue has been resolved, please feel free to close this issue. Thanks again.
