Defining Globals for autocomplete

[nicklee1990]

I have some functions/objects which are available globally in my files but tern currently is unable to autocomplete these. How can I go about adding definitions of these globals?

I thought about trying to add a custom JSON type definition as mentioned in the Tern docs but I couldn't work out where to add it?

Can you be more specific? Are these globals defined in your project, and if so, how? Are you using a module loader Tern plugin?

My specific use case is with Protractor/node. In a project you have conf.js file where you can register global variables in an onPrepare method. These globals will then be available in your test files (for example tests/test.js) automatically, for example if I assign global.foo = bar in my conf.js file, in a test file in my project I can call foo.whatever without defining what foo is. Much the same as when you use built in node globals like process or module. However, when I'm in my test.js file, autocomplete doesn't detect what foo is since it was defined only in conf.js and therefore can't autocomplete the methods it exposes?

In that scenario where foo is an object I'd like to have autocomplete to see the methods available like what happens when for example you include the browser lib and you get autocomplete for document (for example) without having to require anything in a given file in the sublime project

I hope that is slightly clearer? I also thought maybe there would be some way of including a jsdoc statement in every test file as a last resort to assist tern with autocomplete but it doesn't seem to be the case

Have you tried listing your conf.js file in the loadEagerly project config option?

That worked perfectly. thanks a lot!
