[byMoz]

Type: Bug

when press ctrl and hover java syntax with mouse pointer, popup always appears at the bottom right corner says: request textDocument/definition failed, source: Spring Boot Tools (Extension). it's so annoying.

output log:

it looks like this is happening because of the space in the folder name (Local - Data), when I remove the space in the folder name (Local-Data) the popup disappeared

@byMoz the temporary workaround is rename Local - Data folder into Local-Data (i.e. no spaces)
