Issue with "Go to Function" not working when using a Master Include File

[Jotos]

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble with function navigation in SciTE when using a centralized include structure in my AutoIt project.

To keep things organized, I created a MasterInclude.au3 file that includes all other .au3 files containing functions and helper code. Then in my main script, I only include this one file:

#include "MasterInclude.au3"

However, since I switched to this approach, the "Go to Function" feature in SciTE (ctrl + j) no longer works. It doesn't jump to the function definition anymore, even though everything compiles and runs just fine.

I assume it's because the editor doesn't follow nested includes, but I'm not sure if there's a workaround or setting that could help.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Is there a way to keep the master include approach and still have function navigation work properly?

Any suggestions or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Which version of SciTE4AutoIt3 are you running?

It does support nested includes and should work in the latest version(s) of the full version, but would need an example replicator set of files to check when it is not.

Yes as that is what all standard UDF's do so have used it many times.

Just provide me with the requested info and/or set of replication files in a zip so I can have a look. You could try the latest Beta installer to see if that fixes it.

How can I do that?

 

Maybe I use the function wrong? I alway get this:

create a couple of small au3 files which demonstrate to me the issue you have, and put them in a zip file. PM me the zip file. 🙂

I do see there where some fixes for this function since that latest production release, so you might want to try the current Beta installer.
You could also try using the current AutoItGotoDefinition.lua in the Beta directory first.
