ncm2 + LanguageClient-neovim + gopls + usePlaceholders

[dnwe]

Hi, I am using autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim@1ffab7ef19e2acae6f32c6f3a27581429d28e47b (v0.1.155)

It isn't obvious how to combine the following to have completion insertion automatically populate with placeholders. I have a settings.json for gopls that enables the usePlaceholders experimental function as per gopls/doc/settings.md and I can see from the LanguageClient.log (and also the server gopls -log) that this is being passed to gopls via 'workspace/didChangeConfiguration'. However, I don't see any change in behaviour from ncm2 when I accept a completion:

~/.config/nvim/init.vim

call plug#begin('~/.local/share/nvim/plugged')

Plug 'ncm2/ncm2'
Plug 'roxma/nvim-yarp'

Plug 'autozimu/LanguageClient-neovim', {
    \ 'branch': 'next',
    \ 'do': 'bash install.sh',
    \ }

call plug#end()

autocmd BufEnter * call ncm2#enable_for_buffer()
set completeopt=noinsert,menuone,noselect

let g:LanguageClient_autoStart = 1
let g:LanguageClient_autoStop = 1
let g:LanguageClient_hasSnippetSupport = 1
let g:LanguageClient_loadSettings = 1
let g:LanguageClient_settingsPath = $HOME.'/.config/nvim/settings.json'
let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands = {}
let g:LanguageClient_serverCommands.go = ['~/.local/bin/gopls', '-logfile', '/tmp/gopls.log', '-rpc.trace']
let g:LanguageClient_loggingLevel = 'DEBUG'
let g:LanguageClient_loggingFile =  expand('~/.local/share/nvim/LanguageClient.log')
let g:LanguageClient_serverStderr = expand('~/.local/share/nvim/LanguageServer.log')

~/.config/nvim/settings.json

{
  "gopls": {
    "usePlaceholders": true
  }
}

Am I misunderstanding how this feature is intended to be used? Using the same settings.json option for placeholders in VSCode is working as expected.

You may need https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips and https://github.com/ncm2/ncm2-ultisnips to handle placeholders.

I installed ultisnips & ncm2-ultisnips. Placeholder(function parameter expansion) works well with gocode, but failed after migrating to gopls
