Completions are not suggested and fix doesn't work

[Cooperdale]

Hi, I'm on Windows and latest version of Sublime. I get suggestions only if I force them, I tried the "scopes" fix adding this to the user settings:

{
    "scopes": [
        {
            "scope": ".",
            "auto": true,
            // add your extensions here:
            "extensions": ["css", "html", "js"]
        }
    ]
}

but it doesn't work. If I use keyboard shortcuts to insert paths it works. Can somebody help me with this?

[Cooperdale]

Anyone?

Hi Cooperdale.

Your settings seem correct for testing purposes. With auto: true, FuzzyFilePath responds to Sublimes completion query. Testing the above setting, Sublime does not trigger autocompletions in some html contexts, but within a css-file i immediately receive a popup. Maybe it would help testing it in a stylesheet file.

In any case, check the console for notifications or errors. But since it basically works, you should set debug: true in your FFP settings to receive some more information. To evaluate your current context (cursor position) you could also open a popup with more description as described here.

Thanks for the answer. It actually doesn't come up with css either, but I think it comes from some bigger problem, since suggestions don't automatically show up for css rules either. I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Space each time. That's strange because it's a new and totally clean install.

Hi Cooperdale.

Just wondering, are the default completions (words occuring in the texfile or completion-list) opened? You can force them by control + space. Does your console show any relevant messages or errors?

@sagold ctrl + space also does't work :(

Doesn't work for me too now. The console shows:

FFP  PROJECT rebuild filecache of  
FFP  cache START adding files in

@jiayihu is it possible that you have an invalid entry in your project settings? Something like

{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": "."
        },
        {
            "path": ""
        }

@sagold As far as I know I dont' have any project settings or .sublime-project file inside the folder, but it may be something related to the settings.

This is a more detailed console error:

FFP -WARNING-    PROJECT project directory in settings in not a valid folder
FFP  PROJECT new project created 
FFP  PROJECT Base directory at ''
FFP  cache START adding files in 
Exception in thread Thread-13:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./python3.3/threading.py", line 901, in _bootstrap_inner
  File "project.FileCacheWorker in /Users/jiayi/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/FuzzyFilePath.sublime-package", line 33, in run
  File "project.FileCacheWorker in /Users/jiayi/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Installed Packages/FuzzyFilePath.sublime-package", line 49, in read
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

[sagold]

The first line FFP -WARNING- PROJECT project directory in settings in not a valid folder refers to an invalid project_directory either in the user settings or some weird state that causes the directory to be empty.

Could you check your settings files for an entry "project_directory": "". This should either be an empty string or any valid folder (relative, based from your opened folder as is "app")? If it is missing, add it If everything seems fine, i require some detailed information:

• sublime version
• os
• opened folderpath
• multiple folders?

Thanks.

@Cooperdale sublime may be further configured to open the autocompletion panel: https://www.granneman.com/webdev/editors/sublime-text/top-features-of-sublime-text/auto-completion-in-sublime-text/. i.e.

"auto_complete_triggers":
[
    {
        "characters": "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",
        "selector": "string.quoted.double.html"
    }
]

@sagold Thanks, after tinkering with those autocompletion setting it works quite better.
One more question, probably off topic but I have to ask: why does the plugin had a "/" in front of every root subfolder? That is, if I tell the plugin to go with "images/blog01.jpg", it will actually write "/images/blog01.jpg" and the image will not show on the page.

[sagold]

Absolute paths start with a / to prevent any misinterpretation. adding a regex to replace_on_insert should work around the other cases.
