"Hover Hints" and "Go to Definition" not working on fresh install [VSCodium]

[AlexHaxe]

ok, I can confirm that code ~/Projects/SomeProject does not show hovers. however cd ~/Projects/SomeProject; code . does, so I guess change the way you invoke your IDE?!
I'm not sure what can be done here or who's at fault.

It looks like symlinks are the problem.

Directory containing my projects/sources is a symlink to another location. Looks like hints are working fine when I open any project from "real" path, instead of my shortcut path.

Btw. there is no errors in Developer Console, idk what else I could provide to help diagnose this.

I've tried symlinking a project folder and then a src folder. in both cases I could hover just fine. I don't know how to reproduce your issue. can you give more detailed instructions?

I'm using VSCode to test, I hope it's not something that only happens with the off-brand one.

@AlexHaxe here are steps to reproduce my situation on Linux:

1. mkdir -p ~/.backup/Projects
2. ln -s .backup/Projects ~/Projects  # this is relative link, maybe that's important
3. cd ~/Projects
4. mkdir SomeProject
5. cd SomeProject
6. ...create some Haxe sources

7. codium ~/Projects/SomeProject  # this is bugged - no Hints

8. codium ~/.backup/Projects/SomeProject  # this works fine

I confirmed it again following (c&p) above steps.
