Hey guys, it's been over two months since I've been in the weeds with SCIP so I'm not going to be able to write very detailed issues, most of my experiences were with scip python and some in typescript.

1. roles incorrectly assigned to symbol occurences

2. symbols missing - this is a big one. I've seen many instances of symbols being included in "relationships" array that were not included in "symbols" array for the document, and vice versa. Plus "definition" occurrences have been inconsistent/confusing - only some symbols have those, and they don't always match where the thing is actually defined (file/position), and sometimes a definition occurrence has no counterpart in symbols array

3. the treatment of external packages have been inconsistent, they sometimes get picked up as internal definitions and sometimes not

I think SCIP is a great idea and I'd explore using it again if it got better. But I see that there are issues staying in the backlog for 6+ months which makes it seem from the outside like Sourcegraph is not prioritizing further development of scip




Thanks for the details. I appreciate you taking the time to give the feedback. We will use this to help to improve SCIP and the indexers.
