The ouline explorer doesn't populate for some files with latest 4.x

Problem Description

The outline explorer just doesn’t want to populate at all for some files on my system. Moreover, the code style and error analysis do not seem to work for these files too.

Here are some lsp logs that I have created by trying to open a very simple file for which the outline explorer doesn’t work.

transport_python_1716.log server_python_1716.log

The content of the file was simply:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


def test_outline_explorer():
    a = 3
    c = b
    return a

tried with PR #13828 and … this solve the broken code analysis for those files and there isn’t any traceback in the log files anymore…

This is great news! Thanks for the confirmation @jnsebgosselin!

Anyway, I don’t know. I suggest not to close this yet, I’ll go through my day and I’ll report back if the problem is indeed completely resolved or not.

I was investigating this problem yesterday and I think I found the cause. I’m preparing a PR now and I’ll ping you when it’s up.

Ok, I’ll take a look at that once my PRs are merged.
