Code completion not working

[LukaHorvat]

This might be just me not knowing how to operate this thing but I can't seem to get code completion working.

I've added a .brackets-typescript file to my project and it contains this

{
    "sources" : [
        "index.ts"
    ],
    "compileOnSave": false,

    "target": "ES5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "outDir": "./bin/",
    "noImplicitAny": true
}

I opened the folder of my project in Brackets and I started typing but nothing is happening. For example, I tried

var a: String = "hello";

and when I type

a.

No auto-complete menu jumps out.
Is there something else I need to enable or have installed?

Hm I just tried your setup an it seems working for me ^^"
Could you give me a little more detail ? What is your OS? Which brackets version ?
Lastly could you show developer tools (Debug Menu > Show developers tool) and tell me if brackets logged any error ?

[LukaHorvat]

I'm on Windows using the latest version of Brackets.
The only error in the log is "Error watching project root."

Could that be the problem?

[fdecampredon]

Yeah pretty much, how did you install brackets-typescript ? Could you also tell me where this log come from ? (Chrome console should tell you the file and the line)

[LukaHorvat]

I installed it via the build in extension manager by searching for "typescript". In any case, I think this is a brackets issue and doesn't have anything to do with your extension.

Anyways, the error is on line 977 in the /project/ProjectManager.js file

[fdecampredon]

I seriously have no idea where that could come from, you can try to debug a little (put a breakpoint at that line and see where the error stack trace come from) and if you find a little more info paste it here, or wait the 0.2 which should be released in few days and which contains a complete refactoring of the codebase.

[fdecampredon]

Another thing please try to test if you get an error without my extension and if there is still an error fill a bug to the brackets core thanks

[LukaHorvat]

Yeah. Turning the extensions off doesn't fix the issue so I think you don't need to worry about it. I can still let you know if I fix it but it might not be worth it since I'm using XP on this machine and that might as well be the problem.

[fdecampredon]

closing the issue so

[LukaHorvat]

Hey. I'm on my Win8 PC now and the extension isn't working here either. I'm starting to think I'm doing something very wrong because I cloned your project and opened IT'S folder in Brackets, opened index.ts and still no auto-complete. The green tick at the bottom stays green no matter what I type in.

Is there some special way to invoke the extension or do I need to have something else installed? What could be the issue here?

[fdecampredon]

Hm what do you mean by 'I cloned your project', do you use brackets-typescript from the github url ?

[LukaHorvat]

No no. I installed the extension normally. I just mean I cloned this project because it also uses typescript so I thought that maybe something was wrong with the way I set up my project and that's why the extension wasn't working. But it didn't work when I opened your project in Brackets either.

[fdecampredon]

strange, I never tried in a windows 8 however, still the same things could you tell me if an error is logged in the console ?

[LukaHorvat]

Nope. No errors and the same symptome of the green tick always staying green at the bottom no matter what I type is present.

Btw, I know this must be quite frustrating but I really can't tell you any more detail on what might be wrong since I genuinely don't know more.

[fdecampredon]

Hm I seriously cannot tell also ...
You have 2 solutions now :

• wait for 0.2 which should be published when sprint 37 is released ( I just wait for Fix #5137 async linting adobe/brackets#6530 ) it should be a lot more robust than the actual version.
• debug a little and tell me more about where the problem is (you should try to put some breackpoint in the TypeScriptProjectManager in project.js, especially In the createProjects section and follow what happens)
