eclim + context completion type appears broken for PHP

[briceburg]

class SiteTree extends DataObject {
    public function getCMSFields()
    {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

        $fields->|
        ...
    }

Invoking SuperTab at the cursor position indicated by | brings up tag omnicompletion <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-O>, where I believe it is supposed to invoke the user completefunc <Ctrl-X><Ctrl-U> provided by Eclim.

The tags are limited, and the completefunc provides my desired autocompletions (methods of SiteTree).

My .vimrc includes

let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = 'context'

Any pointers appreciated!

As a quick followup after diffing through the docs;

I was able to bring up the completefunc by setting the ContextDefaultCompletion type to the user completefunc via:

let g:SuperTabDefaultCompletionType = 'context'
let g:SuperTabContextDefaultCompletionType = '<c-x><c-u>'

I setup code completion following the eclim docs;
http://eclim.org/vim/code_completion.html

Do you want me to add the g:SuperTabContextDefaultCompletionType setting to those docs and send a PR? or am I still doing/expecting something wrong? I do notice that supertab will now try to execute the usercompletefunc even if there is not one set -- so probably not an ideal setup.

Thanks as ever for your work.

It should default to user completion if &completefunc is set, unless you've defined g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence to put &omnifunc first.

No, that setting is not necessary, and as you've seen, it affects all file types regardless of whether they have user completion support or not, so adding that to the docs would confuse users.

or am I still doing/expecting something wrong?

Can you open your php file and check the following:

:verbose set completefunc?
:echo g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence
" check the buffer local version
:echo b:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence

[briceburg]

Interesting, it doesn't seem g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence is set -- although b: is

:verbose set completefunc?
    completefunc=eclim#php#complete#CodeComplete
    Last set from /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/eclim/ftplugin/php.vim

:echo g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence
    E121: Undefined variable: g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence
    E15: Invalid expression: g:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence

:echo b:SuperTabContextTextOmniPrecedence
    ['&omnifunc', '&completefunc']

My .vimrc

Hmm, not sure that vim has a way to see where a variable is last set, so you may have to grep through your .vim dir to see if any of those plugins set that variable. Most likely it will be in an ftplugin/php*.vim file, or in an autocmd.

[ervandew]

Actually I can reproduce this with a php file, so I'll dig around and see what I come up with.

[ervandew]

Ah, it's supertab's html.vim ftplugin that is causing this. Not sure why I have that in there. Let me think on this a bit to see if I can remember.

[briceburg]

Cool -- thanks for helping with this. Please take your time. I'm working in Eclipse for now ;)

Happy to help if you point me in the right direction.

[ervandew]

Kind of gross, but I added some code to avoid this issue.
