deoplete-ternjs can't deal with files open with Netrw

[glacambre]

When trying to autocomplete the content of a file open over the scp:// protocol, deoplete-ternjs will display errors and won't fill the autocompletion popup menu. Here are the steps to reproduce the bug, provided that deoplete and deoplete-ternjs are loaded in your vimrc:

nvim scp://server//tmp/tmp.js
:set ft=javascript
a (go into insert mode)
let

Once you do that, the following errors will be shown:

I believe this is a bug with deoplete-ternjs and not a deoplete one because other autocompletion plugins (such as deoplete-jedi) work over scp.

I didn't tested over it and I don't have time to do it. If you can look at it and do a pull request would be good.

I found a way to prevent the errors from popping up but haven't found a way to actually have autocompletion work. I opened an issue on another deoplete plugin because a similar bug was happening (https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-clang/issues/69) and deoplete's maintainer said opening remote files wasn't supported. I asked him for more information and will continue working on this issue once he gives me an answer.
