"python.autoComplete.addBrackets": true not adding brackets

[nadrojisk]

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.35.1
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): XXX
• OS and version: 2019.5.18875
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.7.2
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): N/A
• Jedi or Language Server? (i.e. what is "python.jediEnabled" set to; more info #3977): Language Server

Expected behaviour

When performing autocompletion for functions brackets should be added for functions automatically.

Actual behaviour

However using language server it does not. Even with the "python.autoComplete.addBrackets": true,

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a python file
2. Type prin
3. Hit tab or enter to autocomplete to print
4. Brackets are not added even though they should.

When using Jedi, it will autocomplete the brackets, however it will also autocomplete them for import statements and decorators when they should not be used.

Duplicate of #868. Fixed in daily.

Which settings am I supposed to use to get this to work?

[jakebailey]

You should be able to set "python.autoComplete.addBrackets": true.

[nadrojisk]

I have that however it still doesn’t work with language server. It does with Jedi

[jakebailey]

Please provide a code sample that we can test; also ensure that you are running the latest language server build (currently 0.3.20).

Here is my settings.json file. How do I see which version of language server I am on?

[jakebailey]

Check your output panel. See: https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#filing-an-issue

Note that your settings files doesn't indicate that you have enabled the langauge server at all; you're missing jediEnabled=false.

It's there now, and I've reloaded VS Code. It is still adding the brackets to the imports. Also I followed the steps below but it did not print anything out, I was just in a terminal.

CTRL + Shift + P >> Python: Create Terminal >> Select "Output" >> Select "Python" from the dropdown menu in the top right of the output window). Look for the line Microsoft Python Language Server version X in the console.

[jakebailey]

Go to the top bar, View > Output, and then flip it to Python on the dropdown on the right.

(Those instructions are definitely a long way of doing that, which I should fix.)

[nadrojisk]

Microsoft Python Language Server version 0.3.20.0 is the version I have

[jakebailey]

Okay, but we'll still need some code example where the brackets aren't added when that option is enabled to see what is going on.

Start a new python file
Type from time import tim
Hit enter to accept "time" suggestion and for me it autocorrects to from time import time()
