Can't get method declaration searches with parameters to work

[jmle]

Given, for instance, the following code:

package org.home;
public class HelloClass
  public String getText(String name) {
    return "Hello " + "name" + "!";
  }
}

I can get the LS to return a match for these method declarations:

• getText()
• getText(*)
• org.home.HelloClass.getText()

but not for getText(String) or getText(java.lang.String).

I am setting the search for IJavaSearchConstants.METHOD, IJavaSearchConstants.DECLARATIONS, and setting the pattern as SearchPattern.R_EXACT_MATCH | SearchPattern.R_PATTERN_MATCH.

According to the docs it is possible to do this. What am I missing?

@jmle You may want to take a look at ReferencesHandler.search(...)

@snjeza thank you, but I don't see how that piece of code is related to my question. Could you briefly explain it to me?

ReferencesHandler.search(...) implements a search in Java LS.

I am setting the search for IJavaSearchConstants.METHOD, IJavaSearchConstants.DECLARATIONS, and setting the pattern as SearchPattern.R_EXACT_MATCH | SearchPattern.R_PATTERN_MATCH.

Could you show your code?

@snjeza Yep, I know how to search, but this particular search is not working for me.

This is the method where we create the SearchPatterns. The idea is to create another entry in that switch block to handle method declaration searches:

// [...]
        case 13:
            return SearchPattern.createPattern(query, IJavaSearchConstants.METHOD, IJavaSearchConstants.DECLARATIONS, SearchPattern.R_EXACT_MATCH | SearchPattern.R_PATTERN_MATCH);
// [...]

I was expecting this search to return results when looking for methods with particular signatures.

@snjeza I'm closing this as I have found a piece of code where this error might be coming from. Thanks for your help.
