language server should be able to fufill requests even without textdocument/didOpen Notifications about languageserver HOT 6 OPEN

It can be considered as a bug. The hover reply is not sent back because the server fails to load the document content. The document content is only loaded when upon didOpen, didChange and didSave.

Can we add a feature to automatically load all R files in the workspace on initialisation (and on workspace change)?

I think the throttling already implemented in process_sync_in would avoid overwhelming the computer even in workspaces with many R files.

I am happy to work on this.

When you say all R files, what are those R files? We are already loading the R files if the root folder is a R package.

The case where the root folder (and possibly subfolders) contain R files, but the root directory not itself a package.

For example, in this structure I would like all of a.R, b.R and c.R to be loaded on startup:

root/
- a.R
- b.R
- package1/
  - R/
    - c.R

In my case, each of my research projects often contain 500+ R scripts, 70k+ lines of code, which is almost surely a disaster if all files are loaded on startup.

For me, a way to provide language service that makes more sense is to provide LS to a file and referenced files (#20). And completion should be independently provided for eah file for its content (#58). Or otherwise, as the project grows, the burden of LSP gets heavier; or as I open more and more files, LSP provides more and more info mixed with every file I opened.

Okay, at present it sounds like keeping the current system (automatically loading files only if the root folder is a package) is better than loading all files within the workspace.
