Vim also uses the tags file generated by ctags or jsctags for it's tag functionality so no, I didn't think that using one to debug the other was such a stretch but I understand why that may lead to false positives. | |

Tagbar uses either ctags or jsctags. Which one it uses is probably defined by some option described somewhere in :help tagbar. What tags you have listed in the Tagbar window may or may not be the same seen by Vim itself. The operation of tags in Vim is totally separated from that in Tagbar so using one for debugging the other makes no sense at all.

@romainl echo taglist(".") prints out a huge list of tags that I don't know how to search within so I tried looking for a specific method like :tag processLiveData with no luck. Also, I'm not able to run :help ctags so I'm not sure what format you're referring to. There are definitely tags being generated for some files but not all. No difference in syntax of the files, but it's strange that my lib/ folder is getting tagged yet the folder with all my work files (widgets/) is not...

Overall the objective is how to get tags to show up in Tagbar so I can have an overview and easy navigation of my file. Universal ctags and jsctags are apparently used by tagbar to auto-generate the tags (at least that's what I understood). If that's not possible then to use Vim's native tag functionality. | |

4. You can use :echo taglist(".") to output what Vim could put together from the files in tagfiles(). Can you find your objects/methods, there?

3. Vim expects your tags file to adhere to a specific format described in :help ctags. Does the output of your shell command fit that format?

2. You mention Universal Ctags, JSCtags, and the mostly unrelated tern_for_vim, but you show a convoluted JSCtags example and your ~/.ctags file. So… is your question about JSCtags or about Universal Ctags?

1. The Tagbar plugin reads the output of ctags-like programs directly, without using any pre-existing tags file, and processes that data independently. Everything tags-related it does or doesn't is completely separated from anything tag-related Vim does or doesn't. So… is your question about Vim or about Tagbar?
