When you refactor (F2) a method, or even when you are making changes to any object, the AL compilation engine only takes into account projects that you have explicitly opened (that is, where you have opened any AL file into the VS Code editor).
This means that, for apps composed of several projects (e.g. a core project and localization projects, tests, etc.) you have to explicitly open a file in everyone of the projects, every time you open the workspace, if you want the AL engine to check of errors, consider them when refactoring, etc.
If would be very useful to have an option to load all AL projects/folders in a workspace, either when it is opened, or by running a VS Code Command.
This idea is related to this GitHub ticket: https://github.com/microsoft/AL/issues/5878#issuecomment-634700638
