Class name and its method names diagnosed as unbound variables

[madkins23]

For the following file:

#lang racket/base

(require racket/class)

(define test%
  (class object%
    (define/public (testes)
      (displayln "not funny"))))

the class name test% and method name testes (sorry, inappropriate humor) show as unused variables:

The attached log of communication between the magic-racket plugin and the racket-langserver LSP show this coming from the LSP. Search for the second textDocument/publishDiagnostics message from server to client-1.

I also tried running the plugin against a local fork of the racket-langserver code and got the same thing. I may dig into the code and see what I can figure out, but not immediately.

If you open that code in DrRacket, you will find it said test% "no bound occurrences"

In racket-langserver, I just check that label^1, so I don't think we are able to fix this here.

You're right. I hadn't referenced the class in my test case. I added:

(define a-test (new test%))
(send a-test testes)

to the file and the error attached to the class name went away in DrRacket, but the error attached to the method did not even though I referenced it. The same thing happened with magic-racket. So it appears to be a DrRacket issue (or further misunderstanding on my part).
