Fixes #83.
In Rider,
find_symbolsfailed outright withUnsupportedOperationException: Use RdChooseByNameContributor.processNamesLifetimed. Rider's symbolcontributors are proxies to the ReSharper backend and refuse the platform's
processNamescall bycontract; the tool was calling it on every contributor and letting the refusal escape.
What changed
SymbolSearchisolates each contributor: one that refuses is counted and skipped, as the platform'sown
ContributorsBasedGotoByModeldoes.find_symbolssays how many refused and names what doeswork there (
search_text,find_files,file_outline,definition,references,implementations). An empty list would read as an empty project or a warming index — verified onRider 2026.2.1, where Claude read exactly that from the first attempt at this fix.
partial.What this does not do
It does not give Rider its .NET symbols back. Those live in the ReSharper backend and only reach
the frontend over its own protocol. The API that would read them,
SymbolSearchEverywhereContributor, is@ApiStatus.Internal, whichDIRECTIVES.mdforbids;processNamesLifetimedis Rider's own class, not the platform's. So in Rider the tool now reportshonestly instead of crashing, and points at the tools that work.
Verification
spotlessCheck,test(4877),npm test(681),npm run lint,verifyPlugin(8/8 compatible,experimental API only).
