Overriding methods about lua-language-server HOT 5 OPEN

We don't have a way to do this currently. You may be interested in writing a short plugin that would do that for you.

In my opinion, inject field diagnostic isn't smart enough yet and has its false positives. I suggest opening an issue or looking if an issue about this was already reported.

I looked into plugins and I can e.g. replace ---@override with a ---@see parent.method, but I don't know how I can retrieve the parents function definition directly.

Oh, looks like the Wiki docs aren't up to date anymore. There is more info on plugins on the project's GitHub pages: https://luals.github.io/wiki/plugins/. I can't really help you from here, I haven't used plugin api.

Alright thank you for the links, I made a plugin which injects ---@alias at definitions, and ---@type and ---@see at overrides. Only param/return comments disappear but otherwise seems to be working fine for me.

However I struggle to understand another concept, maybe you can help me here :)

---@class (exact) A
---@field ox number
local a = {}

function a:init()
    --This is fine
    self.ox = 0
end

---@class (exact) B : A
local b = {}

function b:init()
    --This is an injection and thus invalid
    self.ox = 0
end

---@type B
local x

--But this is fine again?
x.ox = 0

Why does it want to inject a new field into B in the B's init? How can I specify that its fine to inject when its already inherited?

Another viewpoint would be: I don't want inheritance, but composition. Right now I have A.ox AND B.ox, but in my case it doesn't matter who introduced that value, its now just ox.
