The Problem

Reserved keywords used as identifiers currently produce generic parser errors. When the error occurs in another script, class-resolution errors can also hide its cause and location.

This change:

  • Identifies the reserved keyword and points to the offending token.
  • Preserves the original error, file, line, and column through dependency and inheritance chains.
  • Adds clickable locations and double-click navigation to the underlying error, including files already open in the editor.

Clicking the above errors will take you to the offending file:

Resolves #1492.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • GDScript diagnostics now identify the underlying location and message when an error originates in a dependent script, with links to navigate to that source.
    • Reserved keywords used where identifiers are expected now receive a specific error at the keyword.
    • Script navigation now handles the first line and positions the cursor at the reported column, including when opening another script.

Walkthrough

GDScript diagnostics now identify reserved keywords and retain related dependency error locations. The script editor displays links to those locations and supports navigation to the related script.

Changes

GDScript Error Diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser errors and dependency locations
core/object/script_language.h, modules/gdscript/gdscript_tokenizer.*, modules/gdscript/gdscript_parser.*, modules/gdscript/gdscript_analyzer.*, modules/gdscript/gdscript_editor.cpp, modules/gdscript/tests/gdscript_test_runner_suite.h
Parser errors now identify reserved keywords and can store related error locations. Dependency analysis and language validation propagate those details. Tests cover keyword diagnostics and dependency error locations.
Error links and editor navigation
editor/gui/code_editor.*, editor/script/script_editor_plugin.cpp, editor/script/script_text_editor.cpp
The error panel links to primary and related locations. Clicking a link navigates to the target script and line, passing the column and adjusting for zero-based coordinates and leading tabs.

Propagate related locations through the remaining dependency failures. These branches have a dependency parser reference, but report a generic error when its status fails. The consumer loses the underlying location that push_dependency_error now preserves.

  • modules/gdscript/gdscript_analyzer.cpp#L863-L866: handle a null ref separately; use push_dependency_error when the global-class type dependency fails.
  • modules/gdscript/gdscript_analyzer.cpp#L531-L534: use push_dependency_error when autoload inheritance resolution fails.
  • modules/gdscript/gdscript_analyzer.cpp#L1778-L1781: use push_dependency_error when a trait-path dependency fails.
