Autocomplete not working.

[shahzeb1]

Tried entering /**[ENTER] while over a JS function in a .js file, but it doesn't do anything.

Pressing the key shortcuts does work.

Thanks for the report. I can replicate the issue when not in beta mode. Please enable beta mode in the settings.

The beta version will replace the current implementation soon so would be good if you do have problems with it. It has pretty decent test coverage and uses an AST instead of regexes so should be more reliable.

Same here, setting beta: true did not help. My config:

  core:
    disabledPackages: [
      "autocomplete-html"
    ]
    openEmptyEditorOnStart: false
    telemetryConsent: "no"
    titleBar: "custom"
  editor:
    fontSize: 12
    invisibles: {}
    showIndentGuide: true
    showInvisibles: true
    tabLength: 4
  "exception-reporting":
    userId: "8a33a06b-9c13-94ed-5451-9337205919c5"
  jslint:
    hideOnNoErrors: true
  welcome:
    showOnStartup: false
  "xml-formatter":
    endLineCharacter: "LF (\\n)"
  "atom-easy-jsdoc":
    beta: true

I may be missing something here. Here is what I'm trying to recreate it.

Re-reading the issue. Currently writing /** does nothing but start a comment. Only the short cut keys extract the data from the function.

Please plus 1 this if you want the enter to extract the function information from foo.

/**[Enter]
function foo(a,b) {
}

I Also notice that in my case, even shortcuts do not create comment block (Mac OS), so it might related with that also (in mac, is it ctrl+shift+d or cmd+shift+d?).

edit: pardon, my bad. Needed to rebuild package. Now shortcut works, but autocomplete still not.

Reopening to add this feature.

FWIW, one can get some autocomplete behavior with https://atom.io/packages/docblockr (though it adds more info, based on what is below)
