Completion command ignoring prefix text

[Krzysztof-Cieslak]

Let's say I've written Sy in editor and requested completion. From FSharp.Autocomplete I'm getting list of all possible completions (as nothing was written) instead of getting those completions which starts with (or contains) Sy. Is that by-design behavior? Or am I doing something wrong with it? Or we should try to change it?

Also maybe it would be nice to add Gitter room for this project? It could be good place to ask similar questions. (Or we can use F# slack channel but I'm not sure if all contributors / maintainers / people doing editor support are there, regularly I've been seeing there @rojepp, @kjnilsson and @7sharp9 )

I would say this is a bug, what input do you give autocomplete? Line,col, linestr

I would add a test here if there is not one already, if it fails the test for Sy$ then it gives us something to fix. If it passes then there must be an issue with receiving the input ...

@7sharp9, The input for completion command is file name, line and column.

I'm happy to use slack or gitter, either is fine. I will try to remember to logon. @7sharp9 , the linestr stuff is handled by FSAC, editors provide just a location. @Krzysztof-Cieslak the behaviour is deliberate so that if you backspace during a completion (so that more candidates match the new shorter prefix) then more options can be displayed.

@Krzysztof-Cieslak Slack channel was setup for editor discussions, which could help reduce noise on some of the other channels: https://fsharp.slack.com/messages/editor_support/

Any FSSF member (which is free and easy to sign up) should have access.

@Krzysztof-Cieslak Ah, in XS we pass the current line too so the indent island and partial island can be used.

[rneatherway]

@7sharp9 FSAC knows about the whole file so it does the island cracking for you and passes the linestr into FCS.

[7sharp9]

Yeah but if you have just typed Sy and hit Ctrl TAB does it know about the dirty file at that point?

[rneatherway]

In Emacs I send the file contents before every command, so yes. Maybe not all the editors do though. I should do some docs to set expectations like that.
