No code completion?

[mikeevmm]

Hi, I've been loving VSCode and was looking forward to using it with haxe.

Syntax highlighting seems to be working fine with the plugin installed, but I can't seem to get any code recognition/hinting/completion whatsoever.

Using Windows 10, Haxe 3.2.1.

Running haxe -v --wait 6000 in a terminal just hangs waiting for a connection.

Using the repo code directly didn't seem to help either.

Hmm, what version of VSCode is it? What's your directory / file structure -- do you have a build.hxml file in the folder you open in VSCode?

[mikeevmm]

I have a Project.xml, but I adjusted Settings.json to

// Place your settings in this file to overwrite default and user settings.
{
    "haxe.haxeDefaultBuildFile": "Project.xml",
    "haxe.haxeVSCodeBuildFile": "vscode-project.xml"
}

Using the most recent version of VSCode --- where can I check the actual version? EDIT: 1.5.2

(Also, don't quote me on this, but I think haxe has officially moved to .xmls, leaving .hxml?)

Ah -- is Project.xml a project file for OpenFL or perhaps HaxeFlixel? The plugin needs an hxml file. There are some notes on generating an hxml file for various frameworks at: https://github.com/jcward/vscode-haxe#framework-notes -- let me know if that gets you going.

Ah, I keep getting mixed up with deprecated stuff vs pipeline :) Thank you for the fast help, will update!

Nope, created a build.hxml as described in https://github.com/jcward/vscode-haxe#framework-notes , still no autocompletion.

build.hxml:

Same issue here, the extension was working for me before, but I guess it broke after one of the VSCode updates. Using VSCode on Mac, Haxe 3.2.1

Thank you :)
