[RESOLVED] No more VS Code autocompletion when creating a WAPT package

[stan]

Hello,

I've recently encountered a problem with VS Code when creating my WAPT packages.

When I generate a package template and the folder opens in VS Code, I lose autocompletion. I can't get suggestions for native functions (like print) or setuphelpers.

However, if I open a blank folder, everything works normally.

If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Stan,

what version of Wapt are you using, etc.?

Could you try deleting/renaming the vscode directory in your AppData folder? That often solves the problem. Personally, I don't use vscode; I'm more of an old-school developer with PyScripter3.

Regards,

Denis

Good morning,

Here is the information:

Code: Select all

WAPT Enterprise version 2.6.1.17813

OS Server : Debian 12

OS de la machine d'administration : Windows 11 25H2.

Yes, I've already done that and nothing changes.
For PyScripter3, it's really the last resort if I can't solve the problem with VSCode

Sincerely,

Stan

After downgrading VSCode to version 1.116.0, autocompletion works.

This issue is therefore resolved.

Hello,

Noted. After installing version 1.125.0 of VS Code, I still have autocompletion. The problem might be with an extension rather than VS Code itself.

Sincerely,

Hello,

I removed everything, I only added the Python extension, the same for 1.116.0 and 1.125.0. And only 1.116 works with autocompletion.

Hi Stan,

was this related to viewtopic.php?t=4715 ?

Does it now work correctly with the latest version of VS Code?

Hello,

I don't think so, I'll try updating VScode tomorrow to see if that changes anything.

Good morning,

I found the solution. The problem comes from a setting in VS Code, and not from the interpreter or "debugpy".

In the latest versions of VS Code, if GitHub Copilot is enabled, I believe VS Code applies this behavior by default:
JSON

Code: Select all

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": "offWhenInlineCompletions"
}

This setting disables the standard autocomplete list (Pylance) in favor of Copilot's online suggestions. This is why WAPT functions no longer appear.

To resolve this conflict, you need to force the display of suggestions. I propose adding this default configuration to the settings.json file generated by WAPT:
JSON

Code: Select all

"editor.quickSuggestions": {
    "other": "on"
}

Here's a short video showing how it works (in the video I use `true` when it should be "on", I think it's already "on" by default, so that's why it worked):
