Cant get company-dabbrv mode to work

[zeltak]

Hi ,
I think ive setup company mode correctly yet i cant get company-dabbrv to work as default. i can launch it manually with company-dabbrv yet it wont auto suggest completions in a buffer.

this is the output of company-diag

Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) of 2016-12-17 on foutrelis
Company 0.9.2

company-backends: (company-abbrev company-ispell company-bbdb company-nxml company-css company-eclim company-semantic company-clang company-xcode company-cmake company-capf company-files
        (company-dabbrev-code company-gtags company-etags company-keywords)
        company-oddmuse company-dabbrev)

Used backend: company-abbrev
Prefix: ""
Completions:
  "wokr"
  "willbe"
  "vulnerible"
  "tkaes"
  "tjhe"
  "specifc"
  "similiar"
  "sepcific"
  "relize"
  "propertiers"
  "proffesors
   ... (this goes on...) 

so it seems to me dabbrv mode is loaded.

this is my config

  (use-package company 
   :ensure t
   :config
  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)

  (setq company-idle-delay 0)
  (setq company-minimum-prefix-length 2) 


 (defun my-org-mode-hook ()
  (set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
       '((company-capf company-files company-dabbrv))))


   (add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'my-org-mode-hook)
   )

any ideas on how do debug thus?

thx @dgutov

i fixed the typo but still the same issue, here is the current setup

  (use-package company 
   :ensure t
   :config
  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)

  (setq company-idle-delay 0)
  (setq company-minimum-prefix-length 2) 
    
;(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-ispell)
;(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-dabbrev)
;(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-abbrev)

;(add-hook 'org-mode
;  (lambda ()
;    (setq company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code))))

)
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp  :results none
 (defun my-org-mode-hook ()
      (set (make-local-variable 'company-backends)
           '((company-capf company-files company-dabbrev))))


(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'my-org-mode-hook)

Seems to work okay here.

Could you show a full, step-by-step scenario, how to reproduce the problem? Preferably starting with emacs -Q -L .../company.

do i need to manually load additional libraries other than company.el with load-library?

thx

do i need to manually load additional libraries other than company.el with load-library?

You need to add its directory to load-path first. That's what the -L argument I suggested above is supposed to do.

[zeltak]

thx again! appreciate your help!

ok so yes now i can load company and issue company-mode and i get no error and it seems to work.

is the next step binary partitioning? or is there another thing to investigate before hand?

[zeltak]

Hi again

OK after bisecting my config i think its the worf packaged thats causing the issue

ive opened an issue here

abo-abo/worf#28

and will report back with an answer hopefully soon

[dgutov]

is the next step binary partitioning?

That's how we usually do it, yes.

ive opened an issue here

Thanks!

[zeltak]

Hi. it turns out worf needs to be loaded after company for some reason (See abo-abo/worf#28)

closing this

thx
