How to pass completion option through to nvim-cmp

[Aaronik]

Is there a way to pass the { 'completion.autocomplete' } option through to cmp? I'm trying to get a debounce on my completion, which led me to hrsh7th/nvim-cmp#598, which requires a config param (autocomplete) be passed in to cmp before cmp.setup() is called. Looks like cmp documents a similar approach to a problem here.

I see your documentation of setup_nvim_cmp but I'm not clearly understanding from the docs whether the completion list will be passed in, and in my attempts to make it work, it is not working.

P.S. Thank you for making this tool! I'm fresh in the nvim world from vim and this tool has really eased my transition.

completion was not exposed. But since 81e3d1f you can overwrite it if you want.

This should work now.

local lsp = require('lsp-zero')
lsp.preset('recommended')

lsp.setup_nvim_cmp({
  completion = { autocomplete = false }
})

lsp.setup()

Thank you for your lightening fast response!

I've updated your plugin in my setup (Using plug, so I ran :PlugUpdate). I saw that lsp-zero was updated. I also went to the ~/.vim/plugged/lsp-zero folder and checked the git history, and the 81e3d1f commit was there, in addition to a couple more.

I have a series of lsp calls in my lua config: lsp.set_preferences(...), lsp.on_attach(...), lsp.setup_nvim_cmp(...). Here is the relevant config:

local lspz = require('lsp-zero')

lspz.set_preferences({
  suggest_lsp_servers = true,
  setup_servers_on_start = true,
  set_lsp_keymaps = false, -- Toggled b/c the defaults are alright but not great for me.
  configure_diagnostics = true,
  cmp_capabilities = true,
  manage_nvim_cmp = true,
  call_servers = 'local',
  sign_icons = {
    error = '✘',
    warn = '▲',
    hint = '⚑',
    info = ''
  }
})

lspz.on_attach(function()
  local noremap = {noremap = true}
  local map = function(...) vim.api.nvim_buf_set_keymap(0, ...) end

  map('n', '<leader>je', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.rename()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jk', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.hover()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jd', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.definition()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jD', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.declaration()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jt', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.type_definition()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>ji', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.implementation()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jr', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.references()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>js', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.signature_help()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>ja', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.code_action()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jf', '<cmd>lua LspZeroFormat<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<leader>jw', '<cmd>lua vim.diagnostic.open_float()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<C-l>', '<cmd>lua vim.diagnostic.goto_prev()<cr>', noremap)
  map('n', '<C-h>', '<cmd>lua vim.diagnostic.goto_next()<cr>', noremap)
end)

lspz.setup_nvim_cmp({
  completion = { autocomplete = false }
})

lspz.setup()

However I'm still seeing autocompletion. Am I doing anything obviously wrong?

[VonHeikemen]

It works for me.

Could it be another plugin or old configuration code still around?

Side note: <leader>jf is not going to work. LspZeroFormat is a vim command not a lua function. You should bind it to <cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting()<cr>.

[Aaronik]

Ah oh nice, thank you for the heads up about jf, you're right that totally will not work.

I'm not really sure, I'll keep looking into it and if I find an answer I'll come back and post. Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: User error all the way. In figuring out where I was going to house my rc/init scripts and just generally getting it all working, I forgot to make a sym link to a file and was editing one in the wrong directory. Works now like a charm.
