Autocomplete (words in buffer) does not work as expected about emacs-live HOT 16 CLOSED

I've been struggeling with this too!
Auto-completion only works for library and language keywords..

I'm on ubuntu 12.04.

from emacs-live.

Yeah, something's broken here. I'll take a look at it...

from emacs-live.

I'm having a similar, but slightly worse, experience. Autocomplete in a .clj file works if I type a "/" (gives me a list of directories at the system root), but that is all. No local definitions, clojure keywords, etc, etc.

I'm using current HEAD from github (fccaddb) and see the same thing on ubuntu 12.04 and mac OS X.

from emacs-live.

Scratch that - I missed the part about connecting to nrepl in the README, however when I do that I get the following when typing "(de" in the buffer:

More information: I can get beyond that error if I do the following:

• lein2 repl
• start emacs
• M-x nrepl in emacs
• open a .clj file
• type "(de" and get the error above
• kill emacs (which has to be killed because it's frozen now)
• restart emacs
• M-x nrepl
• open a .clj file

Now autocomplete works without error (though the exception from the first emacs session is still sitting in the console).

Hi David,

I'm seeing similar errors too. I have submitted the following issues:

• clojure-emacs/cider#112
• clojure-emacs/ac-nrepl#8

Perhaps you could add your comment above help the nrepl/ac-nrepl guys debug this?

from emacs-live.

should autocomplete in the current buffer work now? I'm not having any luck, but maybe I have other issues...

from emacs-live.

Actually, no it doesn't. It's something to do with the way I'm (obviously incorrectly) setting up autocomplete. Unfortunately this hasn't been a high priority for me of late, but I will get round to taking a look at it. Pull-requests appreciated!

from emacs-live.

Yey! Fixed, finally!

from emacs-live.

Still not working for me.

I've removed even more mentions of yasnippet and autocomplete works as expected for me.
Don't know what this means for yasnippet (I'm not using it).

Will do a pull-request

It won't work for you unless you're using the development packs. Not until I make a new release of the live packs.

from emacs-live.

I see. I do not understand the dev/live separation, but made it work for me.

from emacs-live.

@thomaschrstnsn inside the packs dir there are two subduers: dev and live. The dev dir is where I do the development work. When I think things are stable, I copy the code in the dev pack into the live packs which is what most users are using by default.

At some point soon I'll start the version number rolling on the live packs - I just want to feel that things are a little stable before I do so.

from emacs-live.

@thomaschrstnsn I've just updated the live packs :-)

from emacs-live.

Thanks :-)

This makes a huge difference for me. Excellent work.

Awesome! Sorry it took such a long time to fix. It was a pretty tricksy bug to find.
