Running into a basic issue about navigating code in github rep as clicking on a function-reference doesn't hightlight it or show definition

Question

I was earlier able to browse the github repo at https://github.com/r9y9/Tacotron-2/blob/master/wavenet_vocoder/models/wavenet.py easily in browser, so that when I put cursor on top of jResidualConv1dGLU at Line84, it'd highlight and let me click on "Definition" and "References" of class ResidualConv1dGLU.

But I used the same repo in the same browser today, and it doesn't do anything. It doesn't highlight ResidualConv1dGLU or show links for Definition/References of it. It's as if it doesn't know that it's a class.

Is there some default setting needed to enable that? What am I missing?

PS: (It was working a few days ago, so I am not sure what changed in just a few days)

What might have changed yesteraday (June 23, 2020) is "Design updates to repositories and GitHub UI"

Try and make sure to clear the cache of your browser and reload everything.

That being said, when clicking on "Jump to", I see:

"Code navigation not available for this commit", which is expected for a fork.
But I see the same issue on the original repository Rayhane-mamah/Tacotron-2.

Those repositories needs to be re-scanned by GitHub, as I mentioned here.

Possibly re-pushing the branch would be enough to trigger that scan. – VonC Jun 24 '20 at 06:14
Thanks for the potential explanation. – Joe Black Jul 15 '20 at 00:49
