source loaded but no completion

[madsonic]

source is loaded but I am not getting any completion from cmp-dictionary. I am aware of the v2 changes and am not using any .setup()

This is my only reference to cmp-dictionary in my config file.

# cmp.lua
cmp.setup {
  sources = {
    { name = "dictionary" },
    ...
  },
  ...
}

:CmpStatus
# ready source names
- dictionary
- ...

Do you have 'dictionary' set?
You can specify the dictionaries you want to always use as global value, and the ones you want to use only under certain conditions as buffer-local (switcher is useful).
See help for details; :h cmp-dictionary and :h cmp-dictionary-utilities-switcher.

Example:

vim.opt_global.dictionary = "/path/to/en.dict"

local dict = require("cmp_dictionary")
dict.switcher({
  filetype = {
    lua = "/path/to/lua.dict",
    javascript = { "/path/to/js.dict", "/path/to/js2.dict" },
  },
})

Thanks for your response.
setting the dictionary opt didnt seem to do anything for me. using the switcher did fix the problem but ideally I won't want to set the dictionary for each file type.

[madsonic]

hmm seems like should_update() was not called. i had to manually call CmpDictionaryUpdate along with setting vim.opt_global.dictionary and everything started working.

[madsonic]

without the switcher, i get no debug logs

but with this switcher config, i get the following logs

require('cmp_dictionary').switcher {
  filetype = {
    ["*"] = "/usr/share/dict/words",
  }
}

Please update. Is it fixed?

Hi!
I try to run the command CmpDictinaryUpdate, and I've got this error:

Error executing Lua callback: .../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/util.lua:40: handle 0x55fac3b41390 is already closing
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'close'
.../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/util.lua:40: in function 'debounce'

.../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/init.lua:8: in function <.../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/init.lua:7>

Here is my config:

dict.setup({
	spelllang = {
		["*"] = "~/dotfiles/en.dict",
	},
	exact = 3,
	first_case_insensitive = false,
	document = false,
	document_command = "wn %s -over",
	async = false,
	max_items = -1,
	capacity = 5,
	debug = false,
})

Could anyone give me some light to sort this issue?
Thank you in advance!

[uga-rosa]

@Joarell Sorry, it's bug. I fixed.
Also, your config is wrong. The dictionary specification has now been separated from setup. Please check the latest version of the doc.

[Joarell]

Thank you a lot for your prompt reply!
Now I can run CmpDictinaryUpdate, perfectly.
But... when I start neovim I got this warning:

Error executing vim.schedule lua callback: .../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/util.lua:48: attempt to index upvalue 'timer' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
.../packer/start/cmp-dictionary/lua/cmp_dictionary/util.lua:48: in function ''

dict.setup({
	exact = 3,
	first_case_insensitive = false,
	document = false,
	document_command = "wn %s -over",
	async = false,
	max_items = -1,
	capacity = 5,
	debug = false,
})
dict.switcher({
	spelllang = {
		en = "~/dotfiles/en.dict",
	},
	filepath = {
		["*"] = "~/dotfiles/en.dict",
	},
})

Now it's working perfectly!
Thank you for this great plugin!
Even with the warning when I start neovim, it's working with no problems.

@Joarell
You cannot use * for spelllang. If you have a dictionary that you want to always use, set values to a global 'dictionary'.

vim.opt_global.dictionary = "/path/to/en.dict"

And I could not reproduce that error on my end. Please start a new issue and let me know the detailed minimum configuration.

[madsonic]

Please update. Is it fixed?

I would say it's not fixed for me but it's working by setting filetype as a workaround.

My impression from reading the docs and your suggestion is that the plugin should work just by setting vim.opt_global.dictionary but that is not the case for me.

[uga-rosa]

If you can give me as small an init.lua as possible that can reproduce the problem and the steps to reproduce it, I may be able to solve it.

[madsonic]

My minimal config. My plugin installation is done via nix darwin home-manager which I assume is not common and irrelevant so it is omitted

local cmp = require('cmp')
vim.opt_global.dictionary = "/usr/share/dict/words"

cmp.setup({
  sources = {
    { name = "dictionary" },
  },
})

With this config, :CmpStatus shows that Dictionary is correctly loaded but I do not get any completion.

# ready source names
- dictionary

If I then explicitly call :CmpDictionaryUpdate, Dictionary completion starts showing.

Let me know if you need other info. Thanks!

[uga-rosa]

Unfortunately, I tried that setting and could not reproduce it.
Could you try the following init.vim to see if you can reproduce it?
If you use prerelease version, place this file as ~/.config/minimal/init.vim and strart with NVIM_APPNAME=minimal nvim.

let s:plug_dir = expand('/tmp/plugged/vim-plug')
if !filereadable(s:plug_dir .. '/autoload/plug.vim')
  execute printf('!curl -fLo %s/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim', s:plug_dir)
end

execute 'set runtimepath+=' . s:plug_dir
call plug#begin(s:plug_dir)
Plug 'hrsh7th/nvim-cmp'
Plug 'uga-rosa/cmp-dictionary'
call plug#end()
PlugInstall | quit

lua <<EOF
local cmp = require('cmp')
vim.opt_global.dictionary = "/usr/share/dict/words"

cmp.setup({
  sources = {
    { name = "dictionary" },
  },
})
EOF
