`...` should not auto-start completion

[auscompgeek]

With g:jedi#popup_on_dot = 1, jedi-vim starts completion after typing three consecutive dots (i.e. ..., the Ellipsis object). This is rather disorientating, and causes issues when trying to write a function stub (e.g. in a .pyi file for type hinting), as pressing enter will insert the first completion (which happens to be abs, as Jedi decides to complete globals).

Note that ... is a valid Python 3 expression, but is not valid Python 2 syntax.

Running latest jedi-vim HEAD (which is, as at time of writing, commit dc23f0b), using Python 3.

Of course, let g:jedi#popup_on_dot = 0 is a workaround, but it's a sucky workaround 😄

The popup-on-dot feature should probably check if the previous char is not a dot and/or matches Vim's iskeyword.

let pos = getcurpos()
let c = getline(pos[1])[pos[2]-2]
if c =~ '\k'
  " do completion
endif

Apart from that, you could also use the unicode elipsis as a workaround maybe ("…").

I agree.

Sounds sensible. Although, the fact that . and .. alone don't trigger the popup, but ... does, intrigues me. What causes that?

Probably not:

  File "<stdin>", line 1
    …
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier

Oh probably a Jedi issue. Actually ... shouldn't trigger a completion, but .... should! :)

This is actually not a Jedi issue anymore. After an elipsis there's certainly the possibility of something like or (even without spaces):

Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29) 
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
REPL completion using Jedi 0.9.0
>>> ...or...
Ellipsis
>>> 

However the completion shouldn't be triggered by popup_on_dot.

Still an issue. #859 should fix it.

[davidhalter]

Fixed in Jedi (master). Now no completions are possible anymore after ... .
