MetalsResetWorkspace command doesn't seem to do anything (+ How do I "un-import" a sbt workspace?)

[JL102]

Hi,

I wanted to "un-import" build.sbt from one of my project submodules, because its dependencies are declared inside the root project's build.sbt. And since I had Metals import build.sbt from the submodule, it seems to not recognize its dependencies, so all of the imports are being marked as not recognized. For example:

x import org.chipsalliance.cde.config.{Config}     ■ object chipsalliance is not a member of package org

I tried running :MetalsResetWorkspace to make it "forget" everything and start fresh, but when I run the command, nothing seems to happen. Is there something else I can do to reset it?

In this scenario if the wrong root was originally detected you'll want to just blow away the .metals/, .bloop/, and .bsp/ directories that were created in the incorrect way. Then re-open the project from the root build.sbt and let it re-detect it. nvim-metals has some logic to traverse down and find the root build.sbt, but if there are situations where there are directories inbetween or something like that, then it might have issues.

Ok, thanks!
