(Unrelatedly, I just build my own copy, and that used to work, but stopped for reasons I can't figure out, but that got me to thinking "hey why is this a hard-coded limit anyway".)

We're in the middle of a lot of big fundamental changes, if you built from master, so I'm not entirely surprised if something broke for you. In what way did it not work? (CC @adonovan)

CC @pjweinb for the semantic token file size limit question.

The way it doesn't work is that, on large files, there's no syntax highlighting. "Large" appears to be exactly 100,000 bytes. I added logging to gopls to announce when it was doing semantic highlighting.

On small files, when I open them for the first time, I see:

semantic.go:100: considering semantics for file, len 54803
semantic.go:128: computed on len 54803: 24685 uint32 of result
semantic.go:100: considering semantics for file, len 54803
semantic.go:128: computed on len 54803: 1775 uint32 of result
semantic.go:100: considering semantics for file, len 54803
semantic.go:128: computed on len 54803: 24685 uint32 of result

and when I click on their tabs, I just see the last pair of lines every time I click on the tab.

With larger files, I see the first two pairs of lines when I open them, and nothing when I click on their tab, and they are not colorized.

Someone suggested changing the registration (lsp/workspace.go) to Full: false, and doing this removes the first of those pairs of lines from each case but changes nothing about the observed behavior.

So I'm reasonably confident that something in vscode-go is, at the point where it would be doing syntax/semantics highlighting, instead choosing not to, but I don't read JavaScript very well to begin with and have been entirely unable to find anything in it that even looks like it is actually the code which is making these requests.

EDIT: If something might be broken on master, what tag/version would you recommend?

Timed out in state WaitingForInfo. Closing.
