Known Issues

  • Go to references, number of references and other features do not work correctly with no workspace open

It is always recommended to open a project as a folder (File -> Open folder). Open file should only be used when opening a single file or several files inside the same folder.

  • Analysis does not work when the workspace contains compilation errors

The extension relies on the solc compiler. For this reason, files containing compilation errors and files importing these files cannot be analyzed.
