I am not sure if this is a VSCode-only issue or something more general.

I inspected some packages and didn’t find my pattern used at all - maybe I’m doing something anti-pattern-ish here. I’m open to a more idiomatic way, if one is available.

Now, the issue:

Imagine the following file structure:

```julia
src
├──FileWithModuleA.jl
├──FileWithModuleB.jl
└──FileWithModuleC.jl

```

Content of `FileWithModuleA.jl`:

```julia
module A

include("FileWithModuleB.jl")
include("FileWithModuleC.jl")

end

```

Content of `FileWithModuleB.jl`:

```julia
module B

function functionB()
    @info("OOH Wee...")
end

end

```

Content of `FileWithModuleC.jl`:

```julia
module C
import ..B

function functionC()
    # here is my autocomplete issue:
    B.functionB()
end

end

```

So, hitting `B.` in VS Code does nothing: no autocompletion suggestion. Also, if I’m using a non-existing identifier like `B.thisisnotdefinedinB`, there is no complaint about a missing reference (yes, I have the linter properly configured for this).

However, typing `B.` in `module A` works as expected.

Just to be clear: with the exception of missing reference, JET is satisfied and the code runs as expected. Only the developer experience is affected.

Versions:
