jump-to-definition not working for dependencies that don't have a *.sources.jar

[scottyj503]

When I attempt to "jump-to" a dependency that does not have a *.sources.jar file (.metals/readonly.dependencies/), the feature does not work. For those dependencies that do have a *.sources.jar, the feature works as expected.

The public repo for those said dependencies do not have a *.sources.jar file available.

With the info I was able to approximate from my research, it appears that Metals does not currently have a way to de-compile from non-source jars. Is that correct?

Or, have I missed a setting/command that would solve this problem?

I am using metals-emacs: 0.11.2
sbt: 1.6.1

~ Thanks!!

It's true, jump-to-definition doesn't work when the target has no sources. There's a feature request about decompiling .class files which will unblock this scenario.
