I have the same Issue. Downloaded zed for the first time today and could not get this working.

I believe I also have the same issue:

My expectation being that . is sufficient to populate the list of predictions.

Hey all, are any of you seeing any errors in the status bar (at the bottom) related to language servers not installing? Do you see any status messages at all when opening these files?

[davemaier]

This is what I see in the status bar every time I start zed. If I open a file in another language I see the exactly same thing with the language server of the other language.

I have found a workaround to get rids of this. I found the language server is not installed properly under the languages folder.

1. Quit zed application
2. Remove the typescript-language-server under ~Library/Application Support/Zed/languages
3. Install manually by git clone https://github.com/typescript-language-server/typescript-language-server.git and run npm install
4. Re-open zed

then you can use the autocomplete, but it is still rather slow.

I just noticed that I had a packages.json file in my home directory and that zed had installed the lsp into the home directory. Removing the package.json (and node_modules and package-lock.json). And then restarting zed fixed the problem for me. Found this solution here: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4628#issuecomment-1908628375

For those watching this issue, v0.122.1 seems to have fixed this in my projects

Same for me. Working with the latest update 🙌🏻

[chris-plato]

Is this considered a different issue?: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7198#issuecomment-1922438299

It has been months and yet this still does not work properly in Zed 0.140.5

[Bishwas-py]

For elixir, auto complete suddenly stops working. Zed dev 0.142.0, fedora

Not sure what to do here, I started to create a new issue by the same name, because the title for this well describes my issue; however then I read:

Check the backlog of issues to reduce the chances of creating duplicates; if an issue already exists, place a +1 (👍) on it.

This leads me to think I should just drop yet another comment on this issue.

I have recently gotten a new macbook, and this problem still plagues me: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7198#issuecomment-1922438299

If you decide what to work on by number of 👍 emojis, atm my comment has 5 thumbs up, whereas the original report only has 4, and that's including mine...

I keep trying Zed, hoping to adopt it as my main editor, but stuff like this is too disruptive to ignore.

Please let me know if I should create a whole new issue for this, or if this is sufficient 🙇

This isn't working in the latest version using C#.
