company-mode completion backend for Lua

company-lua's Issues

LOVE interpreter

Hi,

The backend works great for the standard library. I'm having some trouble getting it to autocomplete the LOVE apis. I've changed the variable company-lua-interpreter to be love but its not working. Am I missing some other configuration?

Active lua process when there is no lua interpreter

System Information

• OS: NixOS 16.03
• Emacs 24.5.2 from the official stable nixpkgs channel
• company 20160429.1339 from MELPA
• company-lua 20160330.313 from MELPA

Steps to reproduce

• Don't have lua interpreter installed on your system :) (well, at least (executable-find "lua") should return nil for your currently running instance of Emacs)
• Have company and company-lua configured like that: company-rc.el
• Start Emacs
• M-x find-file RET ~/khooy.lua RET
• M-x company-complete RET
• C-x C-c

Observed

Emacs says that there are active processes. And one of them is the lua process.

Expected

IMO Emacs should quit clearly.

Commentary

Well, I think I actually know why this happens. This is because when the user doesn't have the lua interpreter we put nil as the PROGRAM argument of the start-process function at company-lua.el#L83. And the docs say:

PROGRAM is the program file name. It is searched for in exec-path (which see). If nil, just associate a pty with the buffer. Remaining arguments are strings to give program as arguments.

This is probably what happens in our case. The question is what do we have to do when the lua interpreter is missing? Just silently do nothing or say "Hey! You don't have lua. Please install it to autocomplete things" somewhere in the *Messages*? I'd like to go with the second option. :)

This plugin does not seem to work

Hi,

I've installed this plugin with M-x package-install and for some reason in Spacemacs and plain old Emacs no auto-completions are provided. Typing in math.p doesn't offer any completions, let alone the one I'm hoping for math.pi. Same with math.si, doesn't lead to any completions let alone the one I want, math.sin.

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

Can't work.

company-begin-backend: Cannot complete at point.

When I type table.rem and get this below.

How to support other Lua libs?

I have lots of Lua APIs, how could I generate file like https://github.com/ptrv/company-lua/blob/master/lua/api/love2d.lua?

Is there any scripts to do this?

If there is a easy way to support other Lua libs, it would be pretty awesome! 😄

Thanks.

local variable completion is invalid

After add the company-lua. Then the default function of company is invalid.If I define a local variable "mytable" then type "my" string cannot get any completion candidates.

add to MELPA

hope can be installed from MELPA.
