FsAutoComplete

NuGet version (FsAutoComplete)

The FsAutoComplete project (FSAC) provides a backend service for rich editing or intellisense features for editors.

It can be hosted using the Language Server Protocol.

Currently it is used by:

It's based on:

Building and testing

Requirements:

  • .NET SDK, see global.json for the exact version. Minimum: >= 6.0, Recommended: >= 7.0
  1. Restore dotnet tools to install local Paket dotnet tool restore
  2. Build FSAC with dotnet run --project build
  3. Optionally specify a target with the -t parameter: dotnet run --project build -t ....
  • To build release fsautocomplete binaries in ~/bin directory, use the LocalRelease target
  • To build, run all tests and create packages, use the All target

DevContainer

The repository additionally provides DevContainer definition that can be used with VSCode's Remote Containers extension - use it to get stable development environment

Releasing

  • Update CHANGELOG.md with the release notes from the current release in the Unreleased section. Use section headings like Added, Fixed, etc from keepachangelog.com.
  • For individual section items in the Changelog, use headings like BUGFIX, FEATURE, and ENHANCEMENT followed by a link to the PR with the PR title.
  • Run the Promote FAKE target via the Promote target to create the appropriate release version from the current Unreleased section and stamp the date, as well as create a commit and tag for this promotion
  • push this commit and tag to main
  • the CI pipeline will publish a release from the tag.

OpenTelemetry

FsAutocomplete is using System.Diagnostics.Activity to create traces.

To export traces, run Jaeger

docker run -d --name jaeger \
  -e COLLECTOR_ZIPKIN_HOST_PORT=:9411 \
  -e COLLECTOR_OTLP_ENABLED=true \
  -p 6831:6831/udp \
  -p 6832:6832/udp \
  -p 5778:5778 \
  -p 16686:16686 \
  -p 4317:4317 \
  -p 4318:4318 \
  -p 14250:14250 \
  -p 14268:14268 \
  -p 14269:14269 \
  -p 9411:9411 \
  jaegertracing/all-in-one:latest

Then configure your environment

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:4317"

Start FsAutocomplete (either by code . or dotnet fsautocomplete)

Do some actions like opening documents, saving, getting tooltips, etc.

Then open http://localhost:16686/ to inspect traces.

Supported LSP notifications

  • window/showMessage
  • window/logMessage
  • textDocument/publishDiagnostics

Custom notifications

  • fsharp/notifyWorkspace - notification for workspace/solution/project loading events
  • fsharp/notifyWorkspacePeek - notification for initial workspace peek

Additional startup options

  • --state-directory dir - a workspace-specific directory for keeping language server states.
  • --verbose - passing this flag enables additional logging being printed out in stderr
  • DOTNET_ROOT - setting this environment variable will set the dotnet SDK root, which is used when finding references for FSX scripts.

Initialization options

Options that should be send as initializationOptions as part of initialize request.

  • AutomaticWorkspaceInit - setting it to true will start Workspace Loading without need to run fsharp/workspacePeek and fsharp/workspaceLoad commands. It will always choose top workspace from the found list - all projects in workspace if 0 .sln files are found, .sln file if 1 .sln file was found, .sln file with most projects if multiple .sln files were found. It's designed to be used in clients that doesn't allow to create custom UI for selecting workspaces.

Settings

  • FSharp.keywordsAutocomplete - provides keywords in autocomplete list, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.ExternalAutocomplete - provides autocomplete for symbols from not opened namespaces/modules, insert open on accept, recommended default value: false

  • FSharp.Linter - enables FSharpLint integration, provides additional warnings and code action fixes, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.UnionCaseStubGeneration - enables code action to generate pattern matching cases, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.UnionCaseStubGenerationBody - defines dummy body used by pattern matching generator, recommended default value: "failwith \"Not Implemented\""

  • FSharp.RecordStubGeneration - enables code action to generate record stub, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.RecordStubGenerationBody - defines dummy body used by record stub generator, recommended default value: "failwith \"Not Implemented\""

  • FSharp.InterfaceStubGeneration - enables code action to generate interface stub, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.InterfaceStubGenerationObjectIdentifier - defines object identifier used by interface stub generator,recommended default value: "this"

  • FSharp.InterfaceStubGenerationMethodBody - defines dummy body used by interface stub generator, recommended default value: "failwith \"Not Implemented\""

  • FSharp.UnusedOpensAnalyzer - enables unused open detections, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.UnusedDeclarationsAnalyzer - enables unused symbol detection, recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.UseSdkScripts - enables the use of .Net Core SDKs for script file type-checking and evaluation, otherwise the .Net Framework reference lists will be used. Recommended default value: true. Current default value: true

  • FSharp.SimplifyNameAnalyzer - enables simplify name analyzer and remove redundant qualifier quick fix, recommended default value: false

  • FSharp.ResolveNamespaces - enables resolve namespace quick fix (add open if symbol is from not yet opened module/namespace), recommended default value: true

  • FSharp.EnableReferenceCodeLens - enables reference count code lenses, recommended default value: true if --background-service-enabled is used by default, false otherwise

  • FSharp.dotNetRoot - sets the root path for finding dotnet SDK references. Primarily used for FSX Scripts. Default value: operating-system dependent. On windows, C:\Program Files\dotnet; on Unix, /usr/local/share/dotnet

  • FSharp.fsiExtraParameters - an array of additional runtime arguments that are passed to FSI. These are used when typechecking scripts to ensure that typechecking has the same context as your FSI instances. An example would be to set the following parameters to enable Preview features (like opening static classes) for typechecking.

        "FSharp.fsiExtraParameters": ["--langversion:preview"]
    
Debug Settings

Settings to change internal behavior. Intended for debugging purposes and not for normal use.

  • FSharp.Debug.DontCheckRelatedFiles - usually checking a file involves checking related files too. This prevents this and limits file checking to just the current file.
    Default: false
  • FSharp.Debug.CheckFileDebouncerTimeout - Duration (in ms) of no user write activity (in practice: no LSP textDocument/didChange notification) before file checking gets triggered.
    Default: 250
  • FSharp.Debug.LogDurationBetweenCheckFiles: Logs duration between the start of to consecutive file checks.
    Default: false
  • FSharp.Debug.LogCheckFileDuration: Logs duration of file checking operation.
    Default: false

Troubleshooting

FileWatcher exceptions

You may see a stack trace finishing with System.IO.IOException: kqueue() error at init, error code = ’0’. This is due to a limitation in the number of file handles that the Mono file watchers can keep open. Restarting FsAutoComplete or the hosting editor should help. If not, try setting export MONO_MANAGED_WATCHER=disabled in your ~/.bash_profile. Note that on OSX, this setting will only take effect if you launch emacs from the terminal.

### Added

* * [Support for logging traces to a configured OpenTelemetry collector endpoint](https://github.com/fsharp/fsautocomplete/pull/1060) (thanks @theangrybyrd!) * to use this, set the CLI argument `--otel-exporter-enabled`, and set the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` the the URL of a reachable collector before launching the app * then, send the `fsharp.notifications.trace` configuration set to `true`, and the  fsharp.notifications.traceNamespaces` configuration set to an array of string patterns for namespaces of activities to match on.

### Changed

* * [Updated the built-in Fantomas client to 0.9.0](https://github.com/fsharp/fsautocomplete/pull/1043) (thanks @nojaf!)
* * Brought tooltips using signatures into line with the design guidelines (thanks @dawedawe!) * https://github.com/fsharp/fsautocomplete/pull/1061 * https://github.com/fsharp/fsautocomplete/pull/1063 * https://github.com/fsharp/fsautocomplete/pull/1064
* * Flow through the `InlineValuesProvider` configuration as expected, to light up LSP support for inline values.
