GHpython VScode AutoComplete

WenjieHuang · June 3, 2021, 4:05pm

Hi everyone, I met the some question in GHpython. I am trying to import ghpythonlib.components in VScode, it works but cannot AutoComplete like rhinoscriptsyntax.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is not going to work. ghpythonlib.components is dynamically generated based on what is available in Grasshopper.

Thanks steve，When I use ghpythonlib.components in GHpython ，it can Autocomplete GH components like“Absolute”，“Addition”and"AdjustPlane" .How can I Achieve the same Autocomplete in VScode？

Thanks

GhPython can do this because it is the same process as Grasshopper and therefore can ask grasshopper about all of the components available. This is not available in VSCode. Someone would have to write a program to communicate between Rhino and VSCode or to generate a python stub file based on the components available on your computer.

Hi @WenjieHuang

you also emailed me in private. Steve is correct. There might be some way but it would involve knowing very well the VSCode code completion library, which I don’t.

Thanks,

Giulio

Thank you! This answer helped me a lot

@WenjieHuang well, I’m glad.

In cases such as the ones Steve mentions, I’ve seen this being done with .pyi files.

But I’m reading long discussions with those and VSCode, so I don’t know if this will be easy/a long rabbit hole or how it works. I cannot start this project at this point.

There's an issue with pyi files in VSCode, I have tried to get this working on 3… different machines with different extensions and all do the same. PyCharm/Eclipse on the other hand works as expected. Problem: IntelliSense/Language Server is not working for pyi files in vscode Variables pop up as just the name When trying to use intellisense/code completion then there's nothing Expected: Hovering over a parameter should show "name: type" instead of just "name" IntelliSense should be displayed when using a period on the variable name Replicate: Create a file called foo.pyi with the following code: class Foo(object): def __init__(self, test: str) -> None: ... def test(self, test: int) -> int: ... Create a file called foo.py with the following code: class Foo(object): def __init__(self, test): pass def test(self, test): pass This post didn't help as Jedi is already disabled and there's no more comments after that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53578365/does-vscode-support-python-pyi-files-for-intellisense Intellisense and the language server works wonderful with normal python files, code completion happens, parses python 3 type hints perfect, etc. Just not with pyi files and we need to keep backward compatbility to 2.7 so I can't go and change all the functions to have type hints instead of stub files. I have also tried to disable most of the non-python extensions for incase something interferes but to no effect. Python specific installed extensions: ms-python.python 2020.1.57204 visualstudioexptteam.vscodeintellicode 1.2.2 I have even installed MagicPython as I thought it was that

Thanks,

Giulio
