No candidates appear

Problems summary

I can't see any candidates from this source.

I have used nvim-typescript. However, when I enter typescript buffer, I got a little time freeze everytime. I guessed that was TSServer staring time, so I tried reinstall, and I got this situation.

Expected

I want completion like README.md screenshot.

Environment Information

• terminal: iTerm 2 Build 3.0.14 / tmux 2.3
• vim/nvim version: nvim 0.1.7
• OS: MaxOS Sierra 10.12.3

Provide a minimal vim rc with less than 50 lines (Required!)

  set nocompatible

let s:dein_dir = expand('~/.cache/dein')
let s:dein_repo_dir = s:dein_dir . '/repos/github.com/Shougo/dein.vim'

if &runtimepath !~# '/dein.vim'
  if !isdirectory(s:dein_repo_dir)
    execute '!git clone https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim' s:dein_repo_dir

  call dein#add('Shougo/deoplete.nvim')

  call dein#add('HerringtonDarkholme/yats.vim')

  call dein#end()

call deoplete#enable_logging('DEBUG', 'deoplete.log')

The reproduce ways from neovim starting

1. start nvim
2. :UpdateRemotePlugins
3. start typing
4. I can't see any candidates from this source.

Example project repo?

Sorry, this is not a minimal project.

Sometimes I can see some candidates from other sources.

What is happening

Hmm first glance, it appears to be an issue where the pwd and the tsconfig are not in the same directory.

From the clone of the project and your gifs, I'm seeing:

1. your pwd when you start nvim is src/
2. your tsconfig.json is actually in your ./ directory

Why this is happening

Right now I do some checks for either a tsconfig.json or a jsconfig.json (for javascript projects).
If those files do not exist, the server cannot be started since it will not know how to read your project.

Possible fix

Right now I'm only searching for that config file if it exist in the current directory or any child directory.
A quick fix is to either

• cd to the root directory and start vim from there

• move the tsconfig.json to the src directory.

Here's an example of moving the tsconfig.json to the src directory.

Or you could even create a symlink as well.

[uzimith]

I created symlinks.

ln -s ../tsconfig.json ./

And now works well! Thank you!

I don't understand .tsconfig searching behavior because TSServer works even in children foler now, but could you include .git folder for .tsconfig searching path?

I wanted to put .tsconfig in root. I guess we can get gitroot path (like git rev-parse --show-toplevel), so it'll works well.

[mhartington]

So the root search will use this line here

https://github.com/mhartington/nvim-typescript/blob/master/rplugin/python3/nvim-typescript/dir.py#L9

So as soon as you start nvim, it will treat that directory as the root. I guess we could also do an if statement

if('git rev-parse --show-toplevel'):
  # set current project root to that
else: 
  # set project root to cwd

[uzimith]

I read around here. What you said is very cool!

[mhartington]

Sorry for the silence on my end. Can you pull the latest and give it a test?
