file:// link doesn't work

[wedens]

When I click clickable file:// link in the doc popup, I get "Point is not at a Markdown link or URL".

It was mentioned before in another issue, but I still have the same problem with the latest lsp-ui (20181007.2219).

Yes, I'm also still encountering this issue. I'm using the current develop branch of Spacemacs.

Is there any more information I could provide to help address this issue?

I dug into this a little bit, and the error is coming from markdown-mode. Perhaps our doc popup links are not valid markdown links, so its URI recognition and extraction are failing.

We have to either find/replace upfront or plug into markdown-mode.

This seems like a really nice feature to get working. In the meantime, does anyone have a workaround that at least gets the link copy-able to paste in a brower? Otherwise, my fallback is a tags file.

I confirm the same issue.
file:// links cannot be opened from help-mode in the other buffer, despite the full address appears below the modeline on mouse hover.
