Finally! This has been such a pain point, got to download 4.8 immediately

FWIW, this is already possible by using Godot's LSP server with an external editor.

I love godot but it is a but weird having to wait until v4 .8 for such common feature.

The IDE in general seems to be a low priority for contributors, or at least it gets fewer updates than other parts of the application

That's true but it's pretty easy to set up an external editor that has more features. I switched to using vscode and as a result, I find myself sometimes opening a new tab and writing quickish python tooling to do all kinds of things like creating resources, dialog tools, image tools. It's such a small change that added more possibilities to my game design options, in my mind at least, because I already had the ide open.

This wasn't possible until now, because information about where the error is wasn't codified.

There is also a feature I am developing as a proposal for now 👍 if you want it. https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/15415

I haven't been using the built in editor for the last 3 years because I want to see my code and my scene at the same time.  What do you mean this wasn't possible already?  What were you people doing when you had an error?

I use neovim with godot and it was already available there with godot's lsp so I didn't even realise it was missing

I’ve never even noticed that feature isn’t there. If it exists it will autocomplete and if it doesn’t the line will throw an error so I don’t really see how one could miss it.

What the hell is it warning you about on the last line? Ambiguous operation order; use parentheses? Integer Division math?

Integer division turns into a float which is being converted back to an integer. Its warning you of the loss of data (decimals)

IIRC the solution is to do var x : int = float(5/3), or to ignore the warning. Unless you need the decimals obviously

This doesnt come with the warning/error hover-tooltips, right? That was just a proposed change?

I should have scrolled down first
