Description

code snippet to reproduce:


trait Foo {
    fn bar(&self) -> u32;
}

impl Foo for () {
    fn ba$0r(&self) -> u32 {
        0
    }
}

When invoking go-to-definition at $0 I would expect to move to the fn bar in trait Foo, however nothing happens.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Rust trait and impl snippet, starting at the go-to-definition entry point for the method in the trait implementation. Trace how navigation resolves that method and verify that invoking it reaches the fn bar declaration in trait Foo.
