AutoCompletion of Attribute-types includes `Attribute` suffix when not needed/required

[josteink]

Consider the following code:

[Route("Demo")]
public class DemoController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    [Router("DemoOperation")]
    public IActionResult DemoOperation()
    {
        // some logic
    }
}

Now try chaning the [HttpGet] attribute into a [HttpPost] attribute, by deleting Get, entering P and wait for auto-completion to kick in.

Observed that:

• HttpPost is not suggested
• HttpPostAttribute is suggested
• It is harder to write [HttpPost] than without auto-completion. Oops?

Basically, unless you are willing to live with the needlessly verbose attribute-name, auto-completion now kinda works against you.

Since attribute-completion is somewhat context-sensitive, I'm not sure if there are any simple solutions here... But if there is, that would really be appreciated :smile:

Yeah.. I will need to check how omnisharp does that and will steal the code :)

[razzmatazz]

does it do the same for [Flags] ? because I tried adding a [Flags] on enum and it worked..

probably your issue is with classes, right?

[josteink]

Yeah. I’ve tested with basic classes and not with enum-flags yet.

Old issue is old. Not sure if it's still even an issue. Abandoning.
