> NOTE: starting with v0.7.0, it is no longer recommended to add the ruby-lsp to the bundle. The gem will generate a custom bundle in .ruby-lsp/Gemfile which is used to identify the versions of dependencies that should be used for the application (e.g.: the correct RuboCop version).

After lunch, I parked at the Ruby LSP table. I worked with Julie and Drew on HEREDOC endings. We also found an issue that we spent some time digging into, but ran out of time before we had a solution. It was fun spelunking through the code with friends. Ufuk joined us in looking at the cursor indentation issue. His sage wisdom helped us navigate through an unfamiliar codebase.

Thanks. You might like to watch this RFC PR https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp/pull/429 (from me) with the proof of concept implementation of indexing and a very simplistic go to definition implementation, which is now being productionized properly. The indexing logic has moved into Syntax Tree and now we have access to a uniform API in Ruby LSP.

What extensions do you use for Ruby / Rails development on VS Code?
6 projects | /r/ruby | 3 Feb 2023

This isn't exactly answering your question, but I found the VSCode extensions to be underwhelming for Ruby & Rails so I ended up making a little helper app for myself for model autocompletion/etc. It's free & open source, and Mac-only but it sounds like you're on a Mac: https://github.com/orangedsoft/RailsAutoCompleteHelper

Not sure if it’ll help but I made this to help with auto completing and it works with concerns. You’d still have to know which concern you’re looking for, though: https://github.com/orangedsoft/RailsAutoCompleteHelper

Well I couldn’t find anything great so I just made a very quick native Mac App to do it for me. https://github.com/orangedsoft/RailsAutoCompleteHelper
