Notepad++ SU8 Ruby API Autocomplete

[jason_maranto]

Thank-you from me as well.

I only use Npp occasionally, but can test it out - what do i do with the file and how to I activate auto-complete?

Added Install info in first post.

There appear to be something not working quite right. I'm not getting all the words in the suggestion list. For instance, it won't display "Sketchup" as a suggestion - despite it being there in the list.

Auto Completion Wiki
"The basic character set used to recognise keywords is made of letters a-z, A-Z, 0-9 digis and the underscore. You can add more characters ... by specifying he additionalWordChars parameter in the environment."

So wouldn't we need a additionalWordChars=" .:" attribute in the Environment tag, to allow space, dot and colon (in Keywords) ??

EDIT: add "=" to that list.

[thomthom]

Ah - good link. I was looking for a resource like that.

Why you need dot colon in keywords?
= Seem to work anyway. Space was already there.

I made this definition so getters would be
" materials.current"

setters would be
" materials.current ="

@unknownuser said:

Depending on the value of the 'ignoreCase' attribute in the 'Environment' element, the XML file has to be sorted case sensitive or case insensitive (if the attribute is absent it will default to case sensitive).

Ah! Well that explains a few things!

Just wondering if it was required so that the feature can lookup things correctly.

More information on this link: Autocompletion, aka API, files, which says:

@unknownuser said:

additionalWordChar: character(s) that may be part of words and which are not a lower or upper case letter, a digit or the underscore. The value is a string with all these extra characters, in any order and without separators. The string is empty by default.
EDIT .. more info from that page:
@unknownuser said:

Names
For both call tips and autocompletion to work, keywords must be words, ie identifiers most languages would readily accept. This means that only the 26 Latin alphabet letters in either lower or upper case (no diacritics), digits and the underscore are safe to use. Additional allowed characters will work if they are not whitespace. Autocompletion may cope with spaces or blanks, call tips won't. This is a Scintilla limitation.

Thank you!

Revision 3 - 01.02.2011
Rebuilt the list from scratch. Used only the classes and methods from Ruby 1.8.6 and SketchUp API. (The old file seemed to have lots of Ruby On Rails references.)

[Dan Rathbun]

Do you it's possible to have whole qualified classnames and constants in the AutoComplete?

Examples:

Math::PI

File::SEPARATOR

Sketchup::Drawingelement

UI::Toolbar

etc. ??

[Dan Rathbun]

I noticed in the old list certain entries did not work correctly where the module name followed the keyword in paranthesis. Notepad++ got confused and took them to be a parameter (argument) list.

Yes, it's possible. Some Ruby classes are listed like that. File for instance. (Just ripped it directly from the docs.)
Is there a list of available?

(I just ripped the class names and methods from the Ruby docs and SU docs - without further processing.) So constants and nesting is missing.

These are the ones that caused problems (but the ver 3 does not have them.)

Both ver 2, and the original (Didier's version?) have fully qualified classes that you can cut and paste from.

For constants we'll have to compile a list.

Oh! Didn't noticed that.

Ah, yea. I did that manually for v2.

output via: Ruby console and type (one-liner):
Errno.constants.sort.each {|e| puts %Q[\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}"/>\n\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}::Errno"/>\n] }
Then copy and paste into the ruby.xml file for Notepad++
