#191: ----------------- have a code def someMethdod(param) puts "Parameter is: #{param}." end would be nice if cc provides some hints inside of #{} e.g. instance variables, method parameters, and variables in local context.
I've played with this a little, seems like it works, but you have to invoke CC *inside* - i.e. place cursor inside of brackets #{} ant then it works. CC did not work for me, because i typed puts "Parameter is: #{ and invoked CC. But if i close the curly bracket and close string literal, it starts to work.
Right. The problem is that when the quotes are not closed, parsing fails, and code completion relies on parsing. There are two strategies to deal with this: 1) Make the parser more resilient such that it can recover conditions like these and only mark a part of the parse tree as erroneous. 2) (Shorter term) Fix pair-matching such that when you insert for example a ", I insert a matching " unless once is already there. I implemented this already, but it really got in the way (because the algorithm to figure out whether one is there already was not right) so I punted on it until I had migrated to using the lexer APIs (such that my APIs can be token based rather than character based). That's done now, so I should visit the pair-matcher again. This will still not work right in many cases, e.g. if you type an opening block and I don't insert a matching close block (I should use indentation to try to figure out what to do) the parser will again be confused, but I'll see what I can do.
I've made a number of fixes in this area; this works now in most cases. You get code completion inside nested Ruby code, and in most cases it's able to cope with partially broken source to offer completion. Pair matching enhancements also help in this area.
