Installing this breaks default autocomplete in markdown

[werunom]

Installing this package breaks the general autocomplete in markdown files. Autocomplete-plus works fine in other scopes (for instance, in tex files, nothing changes). But after uninstalling this package, the general autocomplete-plus starts working again.

And this is not something new - have attempted to use this package before; but everytime I face the same issue. I thought the problem might be because this package hasnt been updated recently. But recently got to know that the package has been in active development in the master-branch. But even if I install this version, the same result.

Any suggestion why this might be?

Currently using 1.22.1 (64 bit) in Manjaro.

Can you specify a bit more in what way this breaks autocomplete-plus? Do you see completions from the bibtex package (these are provided via autocomplete plus)? It could be that bibtex completions are overriding default completions.

[werunom]

Excuse! I know I am supposed to give more information; but was bit clueless what I can provide that might help in this investigation.

1. First of all, I did not try the development edition. So, I still have not followed what mbroedl suggested here. Instead, I ran the command - apm install https://github.com/apcshields/autocomplete-bibtex.git thinking that all the latest changes are in the master branch.
2. After installing this, I am not getting any autocomplete suggestions in text files (which have markdown scope). Here, I am not getting neither the general autocomplete suggestions nor the bibtex suggestions (after typing '@'). I have set the path for the bibtex file properly and have double checked that.
3. During this time, autocomplete works fine in other scopes like latex.
4. I uninstalled autocomplete-bibtex, and general autocomplete starts working fine in text files.

Let me know what else I can provide regarding this. Thanks for your help!

Are you able to provide your bibliography file in some form, perhaps there is the problem. Meanwhile, I suggest you try the development version - if the new version works perhaps your problem is already fixed.

[werunom]

I am uploading the bib file (generated through zotero; synced through better-bibtex). I have renamed the extension as pdf because github was not allowing to upload this file.

Bibliographies.pdf

I will try the dev version soon. Have not done this before. In dev mode, would my other packages work fine?

Let me know if you want any other info...

[mangecoeur]

In dev mode, would my other packages work fine? Yes they should be fine, the dev-mode package should just override the normal mode package, when you go back to normal mode the dev-mode packages will be ignored. I will have a look at the bibliography file – I made a lot of changes recently to the file parsing so maybe the dev version will fix your issues.

Installed and tried the dev version. No luck :(

Not sure what part of my settings conflicts with this package. Do you want me to share my config.cson? Let me know will that help.

[mangecoeur]

OK well your bib file works for me. Lets see your config.cson, maybe it's a problem in there?

Also, I wanted to point you to this issue in autocomplete-plus package. Seems to be very similar in nature, but with a slight variation - autocomplete-plus does not work only when I install autocomplete-bibtex.

Thought might be of some relevance.

[werunom]

Hey....did you have time to go through the config.cson?

[mangecoeur]

TBH I can't see anything wrong in your config either. Maybe try disabling other markdown-related packages (e.g. markdown writer) in case there is some weird interaction there. I've not seen any similar issues, so I don't think this is an issue with autocomplete-bibtex itself, but maybe some interaction between other packages.

Or, you can try running Atom in dev-mode and opening the console view and seeing if any errors are reported there (although packages often tend to use 'catch-all' error handlers which make it harder to catch bugs).

Finally, I would suggest clean-reinstalling atom and your packages (remove atom, remove all config and installed packages, then reinstall bit-by-bit) and seeing if that cures your issue.

[dlmiyamoto]

I can verify that autocomplete-bibtex is breaking autocomplete-plus in source.gfm files. When autocomplete-bibtex is disabled, autocomplete-plus suggestions for snippets appear. When it's enabled, they do not but will expand on Tab.

[rriemann]

One of the forks has a patch that may help here as well:

https://github.com/tpoisot/autocomplete-citeproc/commit/06c00bcd927b8fe30ee51882b54fb518c60341e8

This would need to be added here: https://github.com/apcshields/autocomplete-bibtex/blob/bb4c2599ec3e0820144563cd86200778a5ae7d68/lib/provider.js#L48

[werunom]

@mangecoeur - requesting to have a look into the above PR :)

Has been without autocomplete support for markdown for long. Getting this to work, would make writing far more easier than present. Thanks!

[mbroedl]

@werunom I used to have the same issues (but never really bothered about it because I only ever use citations in markdown) but it seems fixed now after updating my system. Maybe that helps?

Atom 1.23.3 autocomplete-plus 2.40.0 autocomplete-bibtex 1.1.0

[werunom]

@mbroedl - thanks for informing. Will try that now...

@mbroedl or @mangecoeur - I need help with installing this package. I followed the below steps

1. Downloaded the zip file of this package from master branch.
2. Unzipped into a folder and ran the command apm install

The isntall command ran fine. But when I restarted the atom, I dont see the package ☹️ . I tried starting atom in dev mode too; but I dont see the package.

What more should I have done to install the package fine?

[werunom]

Okay. Got it working by just extracting the zip folder and running apm link command.

but now, I am facing the below problem!

[mbroedl]

Actually, for me it works with the current stable release in atom itself (to download via Settings -> Updates -> and then update everything). What you may want to try in case you want to proceed with your error: go into the autocomplete-bibtex-master folder and type npm install that should update all your dependencies, which this error seems to be hinting at.

[KevCaz]

Similar issue here even with the latest versions:

Atom : 1.23.3 Electron: 1.6.15 Chrome : 56.0.2924.87 Node : 7.4.0 autocomplete-plus 2.40.0 autocomplete-bibtex 1.1.0 working on Debian 9.

I've therefore checked what's going on and found that when I disable AutocompleteBibtex everything works fine. I have also noticed that the autocompletion works normally in scope comment.quote.gfm (i.e. when I use > in markdown files) even when AutcompleteBibtex is enabled.

Anyway, I'll keep a close eye on this issue and many thanks for the work on the package 😄 .

[KevCaz]

A short follow-up: I no longer experience this issue since version 1.2.0. Many thanks. :)

[werunom]

@KevCaz - thanks for pointing. Installed and tried - and it works fine!!

@mangecoeur - thanks for the update!
