Angular directives marked as undefined while doc shown into the same popup

[4javier]

Every angular directive inside any template gets marked as undefined, but at the same time, its doc gets correctly shown on hover.

Can you please provide a minimal project to reproduce the issue?

@mickaelistria
Simply clone, import and validate this basic project
https://github.com/4javier/angular-ivy-base
You'll be notified of 4 warnings in html, all due to to unknown tags (custom selectors) and undefined attributes (i.e. *ngIf directive)

Can you please try to install snapshot build from https://download.eclipse.org/wildwebdeveloper/snapshots/ ? It uses some more recent language server for Angular. I tried it locally and couldn't reproduce the issue you mention.

Unfortunately SpringToolSuite doesn't let me upgrade the plugin. Maybe they blocked the version when they choose to include your software as default into their distribution.
I tried the new snapshot on a fresh installation of vanilla Eclipse, and it seems to not mark angular directives as unrecognized anymore, but I didn't manage to find the exact version used by STS to cross check.
If you agree I'd leave this ticket open until new language server lands on STS.

I prefer we close the ticket as it's been tested on vanilla Eclipse IDE; if issues happen in STS which don't happen in Eclipse IDE, those will have to be reported to STS.
