Python-language-server: python.autoComplete.addBrackets does not work

[jkeech]

Using Microsoft Python Language Server version 0.2.41.0, the setting python.autoComplete.addBrackets does not add parentheses for functions such as "print" and "input". Switching back to jedi fixes the issue.

See MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#80 for more details.

Can confirm. Using this with the 2019.1 release on neovim

Thanks for the fix and close. To get this to work, it is a simple matter of adding this option to the settings file?

[jakebailey]

To have brackets auto added, yes. It's not enabled by default.

I'm using the language server from coc.nvim and they have a fork of this commit:

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/commit/16899f6b13477786212f29eb3cb7a459b5ebf0a4

I tried to find out where the settings.json files was located like so:

```
esn89shell: find . -type f -name "settings.json"
~/.config/nvim/plugged/coc.nvim/node_modules/vscode-uri/.vscode/settings.json
~/.config/nvim/plugged/coc.nvim/node_modules/vscode-languageserver/node_modules/vscode-uri/.vscode/settings.json

And inside both of these files, I added:

"python.autoComplete.addBrackets": true

and still had no luck getting it to work. Any ideas?

The commit looks like the extension, not the LS. Adding brackets works if you type pri and then TAB from the completion list. I get print() inserted. How it works is that LS returns print($0) snippet as insertion text for the print label. Does vim handle snippets in the language server protocol?

Thanks @MikhailArkhipov

You are right, maybe it is a commit not related to MPLS. I was just wondering because I remember in a commit to master, you have fixed:
https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/pull/1241

Unfortunately, in mine it does not work with tab/print.

I am actually using a version of it that's built manually via the instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#setup

The language server itself is working but I am unable to find a settings.json file in repository that I cloned. can I just touch settings.json somewhere? If so, where should the settings.json be located?

This should be reopened as it is still not working :(

Something changed either in protocol or core extension. PR https://github.com/microsoft/python-language-server/pull/2113

[MikhailArkhipov]

@Brodersen, @CzJLee - what is your Python extension version?

[MikhailArkhipov]

Looks like there was a bug in pre-release version of LSP that we started using https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/pull/13511 should fix this.
