completion for variable names does not work in e.g. functions from tidyverse packages #1171

Closed maxecharel closed 2 years ago

Discussed in https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/discussions/1274

Hi, while company suggests variable names with df$, company_works However, for packages such as ggplot2 variables names are entered directly. In that case company does not suggest variable names from the related dataframe: company_does_not_work (NB: dist is not a variable from the df dataframe; I rather expect company to suggest the variable disp)

The output of M-x company-diag is the following:

  #("dist" 0 4 (company-backend company-R-objects))

Since all the backends from the Used backend: list come from ESS, it has been suggested to me to report this issue here.

Duplicate of #253, but do not expect a resolution soon since there is a lack of emacs lisp developers in the community.

@lionel- sorry for the duplicate; I was planning to learn more about emacs list in order to be able to contribute, but obviously this will take time. BTW thank you and @vspinu for the great work with ESS
