We have file path issues all over the place. We also have some in-progress work to sort this all out by @alexsaveliev. #86 #79

I see several Windows PRs merged. Is this issue still relevant?

In theory it is working, we are running a windows based CI and the tests pass. Can you try the language server out on windows and tell me if it works? I don't have access to a windows machine.

@keegancsmith This is great news. I gave this a try today from VS Code and found the below:

• Hover, Go to definition, Format, Auto-completion works
• References and Signature Help both fail with "import "/c:/GoCode/src/github.com/golang/example/hello": cannot import absolute path"
• Workspace symbol search returns empty results, no error

Repeating my comment here, I tested this using VSCode on Windows and everything worked except for Find References:

Find References works but suffers from the same problem as guru on Windows: searching for references of a symbol at the definition site of the symbol only finds references in the same package but searching for references from a usage site of the symbol outside of its package finds all references in all packages.

Thanks @doxxx! I can confirm the same.

FYI, I have submitted a PR fixing the Find References bug on Windows in guru that I mentioned earlier: golang/tools#56

I tried searching the go-langserver code to see if the same fix was trivially applicable but I was not successful.
