Go to Definition is not working

[gopsmaheta99]

“Go to definition” functionality is not working with PHP.
I have tried different versions. This is stopped working on Sublime 3176.
When a file opens in nearby tab this is working but it’s not working is as it has to be.

this would indicate that the folder is not open in ST, so it doesn’t index it - try to open the folder in which the functions reside, i.e. using the Project menu -> Add folder to project

note that somebody else said the same thing recently

No option flash for "Goto definition" when right click on function, whose file is not open

No option flash for "Goto Definition" when right click on function, whose file is not open. I am using Sublime Text - Dev channel Build 3164. I only see 'Goto Definition' option when the function's definition file is already open. I have only installed the Sublime text, and didn't install any external package yet. I am using Sublime for Javascript and PHP mostly. How can I fix this issue? I am using Ubuntu 14.04.

nothing has changed with the PHP indexing rules for 2 years. Can you post a snippet of code (i.e. two files, one defining a function and one referencing it) that doesn’t work, to help us investigate please? Maybe the syntax definition is scoping some things differently so it’s no longer included in the index

I have done as you said but still that is not working.

Have you tried a freshly installed state to see if any third-party packages are affecting the indexing? What is the content of the Help > Indexing Status window?

I had the same issue. Deleting the index from ~/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Index fixed the issue after the index rebuilt.

I ran into this after installing LSP/Copilot and Pieces. All I had to do was go to the Help Menu and pick “Indexing Status” and then check the “Indexing Enabled” box and that fixed it:
