That hides the import settings. If you switch "Item Type" of one of the D files to use the "D Compiler", you can set the import path to "..\ldc" so the engine can find imported files. The old engine scans the source folder for any D files, but that can also cause problems if there are multiple versions of the same module in some subdirectory.

I've immediately stumbled on an apparent missing import dir with the LDC solution, i.e., the project's src dir root doesn't seem to get added - no problem with the old engine.

This is the used dmd fork: https://github.com/rainers/dmd/tree/dmdserver and most of the client code is here: https://github.com/dlang/visuald/tree/master/vdc/dmdserver The frontend doesn't make it easy to implement other functionality like refactoring and formatting, though. On the other hand, running both libdparse and another engine in parallel doesn't seem desirable, too. So it is not easy to get the best of both engines (it is currently similar with DParser and dmdserver).

It is still considered experimental and has to be enabled on the respective language options page. When comparing this new engine to the regular engine which is based on DParser that used to power Mono-D: - it does a full semantic analysis and shows the same errors as dmd would do. DParser only marks parser issues. - browsing compilable code works quite well (e.g. inference of auto types is not an issue anymore). - semantic highlighting is faster and more accurate. - completion is yet not very good, especially while the currently edited code has parsing errors. - as dmd itself it can require quite a bit of memory, though a variety of false and stale pointer issues have been fixed to help the precise GC. Other highlights of this release: - Ctrl+Click goto definition added for VS2017+ - visualdproj projects: basic DUB support: upgrade and refresh if project contains dub.json or dub.sdl See https://rainers.github.io/visuald/visuald/VersionHistory.html for the complete list of changes Cheers, Rainer Don't use Windows for long time but I'm impressed by your great work. Keep it up!

Awesome, very much appreciated, thanks Rainer.
