intellisense does not work when using module.exports.fnName

[egamma]

From @SamVerschueren on April 5, 2016 6:53

• VSCode Version: 0.10.14 (insiders) and below
• OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.3

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a file called cfx.js with the following content

'use strict';
module.exports.generateCanvas = function (fileOrUrl) {
    console.log(fileOrUrl);
};

1. Create a file index.js

'use strict';
var cfx = require('./file1');

1. When you type cfx. in index.js, it will not suggest generateCanvas. If you change cfx.js to exports.generateCanvas instead of module.exports.generateCanvas, it works.

This seems to be a bug because both notations are equivalent.

I just wanted to add that this issue happens on Windows 10 / VSCode-10.14 as well.

Why is this closed? it still happening:

OS X El Capitán
VSCode Versión 1.5.2 (1.5.2)

I have to attach the exports directly to the exports object instead of module.exports which I prefer.

This is part of TypeScript 2.0, which isn't quite yet GA. Have you manually updated your VSCode to use TypeScript 2.0?

Hello @kitsonk , no I did not. Is there any manual somewhere?

Still reproducing on VSC 2.2.1

With module.exports = ABTest it's not working. But if I change to exports = ABTest it working.

@GEKTORIAN can you file a new issue and share more details.

@GEKTORIAN can you share your version of TS as well in the new issue. I could not repro with the latest:

I have 2 files. One is -> node_modules\dw\order\OrderMgr.js. Example of the code:
var OrderMgr = function(){};
OrderMgr.getOrder = function(){};
module.exports = OrderMgr;
Another file from project source doing require ->
var OrderMgr = require('dw/order/OrderMgr');
When I try to type OrderMgr.(ctrl+space) - I see only this https://puu.sh/v0xZY/5d2a81cedd.png

While in WebStorm I have this autocomplete based on OrderMgr content -> https://puu.sh/v0yAF/fb90821371.png

p.s. I'm trying to create self-documented autocomplete for specific platform, that's my methods are empty and I wish to use JSDoc to describe what they are doing and show them in autocomplete. Any help is appreciated here.

Can you elaborate where do these things in the webstorm screenshot come from? Since it is not from your sample code. And the VSCode screenshot shows that we know the OrderMgr is a function, hence the apply etc. methods, that's what we mean by saying this issue is fixed.

[osapishchuk]

@zhengbli it is from my sample code, I just didn't add rest of the methods, full version will be -

var OrderMgr = function(){};

OrderMgr.getOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.queryOrders = function(){};
OrderMgr.searchOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.failOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.cancelOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.placeOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.searchOrders = function(){};
OrderMgr.createOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.undoFailOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.processOrders = function(){};
OrderMgr.describeOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.queryOrder = function(){};
OrderMgr.createShippingOrders = function(){};

OrderMgr.order=null;

module.exports = OrderMgr;

Still not reproing this. Is my setup correct?

I guess there may be some else bugs that messed up your intellisense. If you can create a minimum repro project that would be helpful.
