Inline CodeLens indicators for overridden and implemented methods in Python.
- Cross-File Support: Works across your workspace.
- Implementation Detection: Identifies methods that are implemented/overridden by parent/subclasses.
- CodeLens Navigation:
- Overrides: Click the "Overrides Parent.method" CodeLens to navigate to the parent definition.
- Implementations: Click "Implemented in Child.method" to navigate to the subclass implementation.
- Multiple Implementations: If multiple subclasses implement a method, a dropdown allows you to choose which one to navigate to.
- Deep Inheritance Support: Detects overrides across multiple levels of inheritance
Bread -> Sandwich -> Burger
- The Python extension for VS Code (
ms-python.python) must be installed and active.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
pythonOverrideMark.maxInheritanceDepth |
Maximum depth to search for parent classes (recursive inheritance). Default is 3. Set to 0 for unlimited |
This extension uses the VS Code Python extension's Language Server Protocol (LSP) features to analyze your code:
- Override Detection: It scans the active document for class definitions and resolves their parent classes (even across files). It then compares methods to identify overrides.
- Implementation Detection: It finds references to the current class to identify subclasses. It then checks those subclasses for methods that implement or override methods in the parent.
- Performance: Detection is debounced (default 500ms) and optimized to skip non-class symbols to ensure a smooth editing experience.
- Toggle Settings: Add a setting to toggle "Parent -> Child" and "Child -> Parent" lens independently.
- Localization: Support multiple languages for CodeLens text.
