“Go to Declaration (Ctrl+F12) not working in many cases

  1. Open the file (sent in PM)
  2. Right-click on the T_SetPositionSetaX function (on line 6386) and select Go to Declaration

Expected behavior

The cursor should be pointing to line 6362 (original function):

After 5 days, will anyone look at this?


Hello, thank you for the bug report.

It appears that this script is sufficiently complicated that it’s tripping the Luau typechecker’s analysis timeout, which then deprives Go To Declaration of the analysis data it uses to find the declaration. We will discuss improvements to this workflow to make these timeouts more transparent and potentially offer an override.
