Autocomplete Python

[AlissonRP]

My R codes have autocomplete but If I write Python code in .qmd format for some reason my codes don't have autocomplete. When I use .ipynb and .py it's okay, is there some configuration that is disabled or maybe can cause conflict?

Example

my configs: Quarto extension version: 1.12.1 VSCode version: 1.66.2 OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS python extension: v2022.4.1

[jjallaire]

Not sure why this would be! (not seeing any problem here and running the same version). You could check the "Debug Console" tab to see if there are any errors occuring?

[AlissonRP]

No errors in the Debug Console, I tested some things here, and sometimes the autocomplete "almost" works (idk why sometimes tbh) but not correctly, like this:

but..

[danieltomasz]

For me the Python autocompletion works too

[henningsway]

For me the autocompletion in *.qmd also works for R but not for Python. I get the same "meaningless" autocomplete suggestions as @AlissonRP and there are also ne errors in the Debug Console. Autocompletion works for Python and Jupyter Files.

Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS VSCode 1.68.1 Quarto Extension: 1.25.0 Python Extension: 2022.10.0

(Deactivation Github Copilot Extension did not solve the problem)

Apparently sth may be wrong with my jupyter kernel - not sure if this is related.

The kernel points to an environment in another project, which doesn't exist anymore. I'm not quite sure, where this is specified, as I just created this project from scratch.

That kernel is for whatever reason still registered on your system. Try using the jupyter kernelspec command to remove the old kernel.

[Fred-Wu]

This happens to me too. But my kernel check returns without any issues.

I just tested this on a brand new M1 Macbook and autocomplete also doesn't work here, but the notebook executes and renders nicely.

MacOS 12.5 VSCode: 1.69.2 Extensions: Python (+Jupyter, Pylance, etc), Nord Theme, Quarto (v.1.29.0)

Python interpreter from an virtual environment.

[mdefende]

I also can't get the code autocomplete to work for anything in qmd code chunks. However instead of popping up a tab with something to select at all, it just inserts a tab character. The code complete works in .ipynb files though. Just wondering if there were other steps I needed to take other than installing quarto and the VSCode extension.

OS: Windows 10.0.19044 VSCode: 1.70.0 Quarto: 1.0.38 Python Extension: v2022.12.0

[Ben-Choat]

I am having the same behavior as mdefende. Zero signs of autocomplete working when working in a .qmd file. .ipynb works just as expected though.

May need to open another issue, but rendering from a .qmd file also fails but works as expected from .ipynb. Code executes as expected in .qmd and .ipynb files.

Nevermind on the second issue. Was able to navigate to the directory where the .qmd file was located using the terminal, activate the appropriate conda env, and the 'quarto render file.qmd --to html' worked as expected. I still cannot render from within vs code however. I also note, that my default settings in the user settings.json file has a files.associations: {"(.rmd": "markdown"}, but nothing for .qmd. Not sure if this is helpful or not. I cannot find anything about creating file associations for .qmd files.

[LiamBurke24]

I am having a similar issue with python autocomplete in .qmd documents. Works fine in .ipynd docs as noted above.

OS: 12.0.1 VSCode: 1.71.0 Quarto: 1.38.0 Python Extension: v2022.14.0

@Ben-Choat what system are you using?

[stephenleo]

same issue. I do not see python autocomplete in *.qmd files Render works fine though

[oszaar]

Same issue. Not sure if is the system or due to conflicts with other extension

OS: 12.5.1 VSCODE: 1.71.2 (Universal) Quarto: 1.1.245 Quarto- VSCODE extension : v1.38.0 Python Extension: v2022.14.0

[Bonnevie]

I understand resources are limited, but is there a roadmap for fixing this issue? It really limits adoption of Quarto by python users outside of using ipynb.

[jjallaire]

Hi there, just to be clear the issue you are seeing is not widespread (the feature does work on all systems I've seen). If I could reproduce the problem I'd fix it immediately but sadly I can't! From what I've seen the source of trouble normally comes down to something like a stray/old environment variable pointing to a different version of Python. Hard for me to find a general solution for this sort of problem!

You could check the Output => Extension Host and Debug Console for error messages that may have been logged in attempting to bootstrap completion. Perhaps they provide some clue?

[Fred-Wu]

Actually I does not work at all on my macbook,

It only works for the library, but with bugs too.

Nothing gets suggested after typing np.

import numpy as np
np.

Also for library itself, if it shows numpy, then you select it, then it duplicates the selection like import numpnumpy

[Bonnevie]

@jjallaire I think the issue raised in the OP might not apply anymore, but other issues related to Python autocomplete in this project get noted as duplicates and redirected here, so the newer issues might be more reflective of the experienced problem. My issue is closer to that reported by @Fred-Wu. I just tried pruning the majority of my extensions sans Python/Pylance and Jupyter and a few others to get a fairly clean environment, and still my autocomplete looks like this: Note that the suggestions are part of pandas, so so-far-so-good, but it doesn't react at all to what comes after pd.. And as Fred noted, actually going down the list and completing with pd.Series leads to:

quarto check jupyter does not raise any errors.

[jjallaire]

Okay, I see that now. Something has changed in either VS Code or the Python extension that has made this stop working. Hopefully there is a way to recover the previous behavior! Will investigate and report back.

[jjallaire]

I believe that I've gotten to the bottom of this issue. The fix is here: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-vscode/commit/1755d70ca197bdd68413be9b6a81c8133bbd21b3.

This fix is in the v1.56.0 release which is available now.
