Your plugin says it supports auto-completion. It never worked for me using IntelliJ on macOS.

I'm following D for some month, tried several versions of the IntelliJ plugin over the time, but never got any useful auto-completion to work. No code-completion popup or anything most of the time.

Now i tried again using the latest version and actually got some code-completion for some simple codes.

For the code:

  string s = String("  abcd  ");
  s.

I get auto-completion that makes no sense. It shows hundreds of entries, all starting with the letter 's', but nothing of it has to do with strings.

.safeDecode()
.scanf()
.swapEndian()
.std
.stderr
.stdin()

Hundreds of entries that make no sense at all...

I would like to see useful string methods/functions like .trim and .strip instead.

In the current state, this plugin seems pretty useless, except for syntax highlighting...?

Auto completion is provided by DCD which you have to install & configure into IDE manually. This is the standard solution and most of the popular IDE plugins use it. If there is a problem with auto completion once installed & configured its probably DCD's fault.

Of course I have configured the settings. Dub, DScanner, dcd-server, dcd-client, DFormat/dfmt. Sorry I forgot to mention that. It never worked for me on macOS.

Unfortunately I'm not a huge help with OSX due to not having a recent machine. All I can suggest is look at the settings of the IDE for when it triggers DCD prompt (and turn off the experimental IDE completion support if you turned that on).

Yesterday I had another PR merged which fixed another 3 bugs. https://github.com/intellij-dlanguage/intellij-dlanguage/pull/918 Next release should make it throw a few less common exceptions :)
