pylance does not recognize use of imported function in a Jupyter notebook cell that contains a %% command

[gro1m]

Environment data

• Language Server version: v2023.7.20
• OS and version: Linux Ubuntu 20.04.1
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.9.16 (conda: 23.3.1)

Code Snippet

It is difficult to provide minimal, self-contained code here, as it relates to Jupyter Notebook cells.

1st Jupyter notebook code cell:

from utils import A

2nd Jupyter notebook code cell:

%%time
B = A()

In this case, in 1st Jupyter notebook code cell function A will be greyed out and upon hovering over the greyed out A, I get the mesage:
"A" is not accessed Pylance

Also in subsequent Jupyter notebook code cells, B is not recognized as a defined variable.

I have the feeling, it has to do with the fact that it is a magic cell.

Repro Steps

See above

1. XXX

Expected behavior

Imported function should also be recognized in magic cells as being accessed and subsequent use of the assigned variable should be detected.

Actual behavior

Imported function is not recognized as being accessed in a magic cell and subsequent use of the assigned variable is not detected.

Thanks for the issue. It is indeed because it's a magic cell. We don't currently support magics very well as we just ignore the entire cell.

There is already a discussion here to support magics:
