show class hierarchy or method override like pycharm

[elskito]

When using Pycharm, I have the ability to check at a glance if a given method or class has corresponding children or parents. Could you please add similar functionality to basedpyright? This is a game changer when opening huge projects with lots of multi inheritance :)

does anyone know if the LSP protocol has anything for this? if not, it will probably need to be a vscode/vscodium only feature

[elskito]

I assume that LSP has something called 'hierarchy' as stated here: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/, which I believe has the ability to traverse the inheritance tree. There is also a open MR on pylance gh - microsoft/pylance-release#4972.

i really wish the LSP spec contained screenshots or some sort of visual representation of its features. it's hard to tell what any of this stuff is.

i'm looking at what i believe to be the typescript language server's "call hierarchy" and i don't understand what it's trying to show me. for example when i try to show the call hierarchy on TypeInlayHintsWalker.visitName:

• where is ParseTreeWalker.visitName (the supertype)?
• why is it showing ParseTreeWalker.visit? it has nothing to do with the visitName method
• why is it showing the visitName method of all the other subtypes of ParseTreeWalker except the one in ParseTreeWalker itself?

it's possible i'm misunderstanding what this call hierarchy feature is supposed to be, but it seems to be completely different to the hierarchy buttons in pycharm unfortunately

That's callers of, not type hierarchy. I think it's references?

this is doable with textDocument/implementation, though in vscode it will be an option in the right click menu / keyboard shortcut instead of a gutter icon. not sure about other editors
