Description
IdentifierPSINode
is a leaf node in your AST, and it implements PsiNamedElement
.
It should not implement PsiNamedElement
.
The Custom Language tutorial says
While the referencing element and the referenced element both may have a name, only the element which introduces the name (e.g., the definition int
x = 42
) needs to implementPsiNamedElement
. The referencing element at the point of usage (e.g., thex
in the expressionx + 1
) should not implementPsiNamedElement
since it does not have a name.
I based my leaf node implementations on IdentifierPSINode
, so I had my leaves implement PsiNamedElement
. I just realized that this was causing a bug with "Find Usages". When searching for usages from a declaration, there were no results. Changing my leaves to not implement this interface fixed this problem.
Before I found this fix, I found the following workaround. I had my declaration be a reference to itself. In this case, "right-click -> Find Usages" works correctly, but "right-click -> Go To -> Declaration or Usages" does not. If there was only one usage, then the correct behavior would be to go to that usage. Instead, the behavior in this case is that the cursor moves to the beginning of the declaration (which is the current behavior for the current ANTLR plugin antlr/intellij-plugin-v4#580).
