The menu 'Go to Definition' does not support 'Module-Qualified Cmdlet Names' syntax

[LaurentDardenne]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.

Summary

Once added a module name to a function name, 'the menu' considers this syntax as a full function name.

Thanks @LaurentDardenne for opening this issue and for providing the repro steps! We dont have scheduled time for this fix at the moment but I will mark it as up for grabs

This is mostly fixed. That is, the problem where the command name's when qualified with a module name treated the whole string as the command name has been fixed by stripping the module name when building the reference tables. However, we still have a separate "problem" where we can't jump to definition (or find references) in modules that are only imported via the import statement in a piece of code; the actual definition/references must be in script files within the workspace.

This issue has been marked as fixed. It has been automatically closed for housekeeping purposes.
