[bounty] Minimal Visual Studio (classic) example of inline completion

[digital-phoenix]

I think I have implemented all the requirements for this issue.
I will post the code soon.
Let me know if you have any questions.

[digital-phoenix]

@jovialcore I'm still working on this and it is in the final test phase.

[olegklimov]

Some tricky parts as in #1 :

• Showing gray text and completion popup might conflict, the popup has its strengths too. So the decision about which suggestion to show might be tricky, sure it's shouldn't show both at the same time.

• Grey text should not increase visible line counters, for example a code suggestion at line 100 that has 5 lines shouldn't make the next line 106 before it's accepted.

If you attempt to complete the same issue, there is a chance that @haruncurak will complete the issue first, and be awarded the bounty. We recommend discussing with @haruncurak and potentially collaborating on the same solution versus creating an alternate solution.

@digital-phoenix nice!

[ogil7190]

@olegklimov is there anything pending on vs code side or is this complete, can you explain this as well if possible.?

[olegklimov]

No it's still open. I didn't see an ongoing effort either.

[digital-phoenix]

I should be finished this fairly soon. The biggest issue is that there is very limited documentation around the features needed to implement multiline text without adding it to the file. But I believe I've found everything I need at this point.

[digital-phoenix]

[digital-phoenix]

This is starting to come together

[olegklimov]

Oh wow! How many DLLs did you have to link? )

[digital-phoenix]

The extension only required some standard DLLs. Which include: several System.* DLLs; the Visual studio SDK and it's dependencies; and the Microsoft Presentation Framework for UI rendering.

Here I have a random link:

Ultimately we want this completion to work with our LSP server (not a part of this issue). There should be some good way to run it.

[digital-phoenix]

I created a new repo with the source code here:
https://github.com/digital-phoenix/MultilineGreyText/tree/main/MultilineGreyText

[digital-phoenix]

@olegklimov I believe the code I posted should resolve this issue. Let me know if you have any further questions.

I sent you a message on the issue for Sublime Lsp with my email so you can add me to the slack. Once you add me to the slack we can talk about the steps required to implement a full Lsp plugin in Visual Studio.

[olegklimov]

Fantastic! I'll take a look on Monday.

[olegklimov]

OK it's Wednesday, but I finally got to it.

Here's what I'm getting, trying to open MultilineGreyText solution. I'm using Visual Studio for Mac.

[olegklimov]

I found this guide from 2017

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/mac/extending-visual-studio-mac-walkthrough?view=vsmac-2017

But I couldn't follow it on my computer.

I found the guid VS was complaining about on the screenshot above:

https://gist.github.com/vnl/4b1851bfbc923cd3ac0e98aa8d8b2eef

I deleted the line with this guis from MultilineGreyText.csproj, and I got this far:

If I right-click on "Packages" I can make this happen:

  GET https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-gz-semver2/microsoft.visualstudio.sdk/index.json
  OK https://api.nuget.org/v3/registration5-gz-semver2/microsoft.visualstudio.sdk/index.json 212ms
Getting restore information for project ~/Projects/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText.csproj
~/Projects/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText.csproj(76,3) : error MSB4019: The imported project "/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.308/Microsoft/VisualStudio/v17.0/VSSDK/Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.308/Microsoft/VisualStudio/v17.0/VSSDK/Microsoft.VsSDK.targets" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Unable to create package spec for project. '~/Projects/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText/MultilineGreyText.csproj'

I feeling it's harder than it should be. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

[digital-phoenix]

@olegklimov It sounds like Microsoft is ending support for Visual Studio classic on mac https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-for-mac-retirement-announcement/ . As extension support for Visual Studio mac appears to be very limited. Would it be possible to test this extension on Windows or a virtual machine running Windows?

[olegklimov]

extension support for Visual Studio mac appears to be very limited

Is that what it is?

🤔 I'll have access to a windows machine next week. I'll try to find someone to test the code before that.

[digital-phoenix]

@olegklimov yeah visual studio for mac extensions appear to be supported primarily through Monodevelop libraries. I'd basically need to create an entirely separate extension to get the extension to work on Mac.

[jovialcore]

Hi, anyone still working on this ?

[olegklimov]

I tested @digital-phoenix 's code, it's actually pretty good! (as a hello world example)

[digital-phoenix]

@olegklimov is there anything left to do for this issue or is it resolved?

[olegklimov]

Hey @digital-phoenix I think you need to type "/claim" for workflow to go through
