Autocomplete won't work for non-project files and scratches

[dgrothaus-ku]

Description

Autocomplete stopped working several versions ago. I just can't get it working any more. I'm writing my Swagger specs mainly in JSON, but added a YAML example for proof.

Autocomplete won't ever appear automatically and manually invoking autocomplete just shows No suggestion.

I already tried renaming to swagger. with no success as well as invalidating caches.

@dgrothaus-ku Thanks for reporting the issue. I tried to reproduce the issue by installing PHPStorm and the mentioned plugins, all worked well. I have a mac so maybe it is Windows related; I need to test that later.

I can reproduce this with a fresh Windows 10 VM and a newly installed PhpStorm. After VM creation and PhpStorm installation the only thing I did was installing the plugin. Same behaviour: No autocomplete, no suggestion.

I tested with VirtualBox and Windows 10, I still can't reproduce this! See screenshot:

I created a new "PHP Empty Project", added a swagger.yaml file. After adding a swagger field to the YAML document, the autocompletion kicked in. Can you make sure that the plugin installed successfully in the plugins settings?

[dgrothaus-ku]

I evaluated again and the problem seems to be with files not belonging to the project, like scratch files and files dropped into the IDE.

To reproduce, please create a new scratch file and try auto-completion there.

@dgrothaus-ku Thanks for debugging this, that is indeed an issue and should be fixed!
