Ability to "Go to Declaration" for project dependencies

[nhenin]

Hi,

Hasktags seems to only generate tags for internal modules and not for my external dependencies...
Is it possible to "Go to Declaration" in atom for external dependencies and see the code source ?

P:S : I found Haskdogs that seems to generate these tags into a tag file (root directory) but your plugin doesn't seem to read this file...

Thank you.

Hi. Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, the reply might not be to your satisfaction.

If you want to use TAGS file, just use Atom's symbols-view. The whole point of this package (that is, ide-haskell-hasktags) is to have a "batteries included" solution -- as a consequence, there are some limitations. If you're fine with running hasktags or similar once in a while to update the TAGS file, you don't really need this package.

In general, Haskell package dependencies are compiled, and sources are not readily available and need to be pulled in separately (with stack unpack or similar). So there's no "silver bullet" per se.

Haddock (and, f.ex., ide-haskell-hoogle) might provide an alternative via showing Haddock documentation (which can optionally show source code in most cases) -- it's a bit rough around the edges though, so feel free to open bug reports and/or feature requests. Note that if you want to use a local Hoogle database, you'll need to build it first (via stack hoogle etc, and it might take a while)
