Code completion does not work with global variables [message #1416565]

Hi !

I am new to Koneki.
I have
* installed the application,
* created my lua project,
* imported sources (from 2 different folders)
* linked the "official" Koneki EE.
* built, rebuilt, cleaned, re-rebuilt (etc.) my project.

The code completion works just fine with local variables and functions, but does not recognize global ones.

local function TestGlobal()
_myGlobal = 0;
_my//I am trying "ctrl-space" here
end

answers

No completions available.

Moreover (... maybe linked ? which is why I post on the same thread...), the code documentation does not work at all.
When I try this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Prints something
-- @param something the thing to print
local function PrintSomething(something)
print(something);
end

and put the cursor on "something", I get the message

something :
Note: This element has no documentation and hence no information could be found.

even if it seems consistent with http://wiki.eclipse.org/Koneki/LDT/Technical_Discussions/Documentation_Language.

Any Idea of what I am doing wrong ?
Thank you very much!

Emilien

Hi,

First of all, thanks for using Koneki LDT and sharing your feedback with us.

You should have content assist :
on local variables.
on global variables considered as preloaded in your execution environment. (like print in lua 5.1)
on module documented with luadocumentor.

About the http://wiki.eclipse.org/Koneki/LDT/Technical_Documentation/Documentation_Language. The previous link is the right one, the one you used is outdated and we might delete it.

So far, the only way to have a global in content assist is define it in global.lua in an http://wiki.eclipse.org/Koneki/LDT/Technical_Documentation/Execution_Environment_file_format. We handle it this way because it is tricky to define where and when a global should be available in code assistance.

Yes, we do not handle the parameter tool tip so far, but neither the less the documentation language is working.

Looking forward to read your future posts about Koneki.

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thank you very much for your answer and the new link to the documentation language.
I will try the "global.lua" method to handle globals.

By the way, not having these features does lower the awesomeness of the editor, so thank you again for it :)

All the best

Émilien
