I decided to poke at this a bit, but couldn't reproduce it. Is this a short code snippet you have handy that triggers the issue?

Updated to add a repro. This may be a tough first issue, if this is something you're interested in tackling, just because it will require special handling after a file has been parsed but before it has been type-checked.

@stamblerre Thanks. I'm mostly using anything tagged as lsp as a way to get familiar with the current codebase. I don't want to get in the way yet :) I'll follow along on the CL if you get to it first.

Change https://golang.org/cl/172974 mentions this issue: internal/lsp: handle completion after defer, go statements

I might have misunderstood https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/tools/+/172974/, but I still don't see (as of v0.0.0-20190503030157-5cec639030af) completions working for the original example provided in #29313 (comment)

I'm still working on finishing this because it doesn't work on most cases, but it should work OK for the cases in these tests: https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/internal/lsp/testdata/badstmt/badstmt.go.

@stamblerre - not quite sure whether the following is an instance of the same issue? Happy to raise a separate issue if not:

package main

import "playground.com/p"

func main() {
	switch {
	case nil:
		s := new(p.)
	}
}

-- go.mod --
module playground.com

-- p/p.go --
package p

type S struct {
	Name string
	Age  int
}

Attempting completion after s. in main.go does not return any candidates.

I'd guess it's actually closer to #31973, but either way, that should definitely work.

@stamblerre hi , i got same error without go defer statements.

@taigacute: I'm not sure I understand the issue here. Do you mind filing a separate issue with logs?

@stamblerre same as #33075

/cc @flowchartsman

This issue has been partially solved, but still needs a bit of work. I believe @flowchartsman will be investigating this.

Change https://golang.org/cl/194377 mentions this issue: internal/lsp: update to latest version of x/tools

This issue should be fixed now. Thanks @muirrn!

@stamblerre, should I do;

go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@master

or

go get golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest

We haven't made a new release yet, so for now, the fix is only on master.

Thanks for the fix. I'll use master branch for now.

Thank you for the fix @stamblerre! Works perfectly.
