MOOSE Language Server Development Tasks

[dschwen]

Reason

Tracking medium term MOOSE language server (and WASP) development goals and tasks.

WASP

• [x] Parsing of incomplete documents

MOOSE Language Server

• Autocomplete for
  • [ ] MaterialProperty names (MaterialPropertyName)
  • [ ] Block and Boundary names
  • [ ] Outputs (OutputName)
  • [ ] Variable names (NonlinearVariableName, AuxVariableName, VariableName)
  • [ ] Functions (FunctionName)
  • [ ] Everything from warehouses and not input (to support action generated objects)
• Autocompletion should respect block/boundary restrictions. I.e. do not offer objects that are incompatible with teh block restriction of the current object.
• [x] Jump to source (for jump to definition on type parameters)

MOOSE tasks

• [ ] Have separate NewMaterialPropertyName string type which we do NOT autocomplete
• [ ] Improve quality of validation messages, create custom exception class for errors to avoid round-tripping with string parsing

Application support

• [ ] enable apps to plug into the language server to provide auto-completion for new input parameter types (like derived string classes)

Impact

Improved language server capabilities
