Go to definition does not find a definition in typescript #22385
Description
- VSCode Version: 1.10.2
- OS Version: Win10 x64
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a .ts file with this content:
interface ITest {
test(): void;
}
class Test implements ITest {
test() {
return null;
}
}
- Right click on the test() implementation and click 'go to definition'. It will say there is "no definition found for 'test'". I expected it to go to the definition.
Go to implementation from the interface does work.

The current behavior seems correct to me. If you right click on
testinTest, you are already at the definition of the method.Are you expecting it to go to
ITesttestinstead?pkeuter commentedon Mar 10, 2017
Yes, because test() in Test is the implementation, isn't it, and test() in ITest is the definition? I would say it's a good thing to let the user be able to go to the Interface from the implementation. From what I see, there is no way now to go directly to the Interface declaration from the class implementation, is there?

No not currently.
I'm still not sure that
go to definitionshould go to the interface declaration in this case, but perhapsgo to type definitionshould do what you describe?I've opened microsoft/TypeScript#14588 against TypeScript to track this and discuss the design of this feature
Thanks.
