Autocomplete python error

[AravalliCraton]

Hello,

I'm getting a error using autocomplete. The trace is pasted below.

As soon as I type a . after a symbol e.g. Data. Zeus switches to a Debug window and this error is displayed. Despite the error, the class member list is displayed and it is possible to select from it. So the functionality works but it is a bit of a pain going to the Debug window every time and having to switch back to the file I'm editing.

What type of file are you editing when you see this autocomplete error

Looking at the call stack I can see the error is happening on an assert which suggests this might be some sort of Python installation mismatch/error:

Code: Select all

Error: File "C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Roaming\Xidicone\Zeus\zScript\PyLib\sre_compile.py", line 17, in <module>
Error:
Error: assert _sre.MAGIC == MAGIC, "SRE module mismatch"

Looking at the copyright notice in the code also suggests this code is very old so it might well be out of date.

In any case could you try the following quick and dirty attempt at a fix:

1. Open the file: Zeus\zScript\PyLib\sre_compile.py
2. Comment out the the assert check found in that code:

Code: Select all

# assert _sre.MAGIC == MAGIC, "SRE module mismatch"

See if that stops the debug error window from being displayed.

Cheers Jussi

PS: That call stack also suggests you are running the OmniSharp C# autocomplete. Was it your intention to use that C# autocompleter

[AravalliCraton]

It is a C# file. Commenting the assert lead to an error calling compile() in the same file:

Error: compile() argument 6 must be tuple, not list.

Something else must have installed an incompatible version of python. I don't use that language so it is hard to think where it might have come from.

I only want autocomplete, not OmniSharp in particular. Will try to figure out how to disable it.

Thanks for helping so quickly.

Cheers

It looks like the OmniSharp script is out of date which is not all that surprising.

Now I think the good news is since the script is failing and yet you still see the autocomplete dialog, that suggest the autocomplete being displayed is the Zeus ctags autocomplete which is defined in the Tags Database section of the C# document type.

So to eliminate the script error all you need to do is edit the C# document type and in the Triggers section remove the Dot Autocomplete script entry.

That will stop the failing script from being run, but will still fire the default ctags autocomplete mention earlier, meaning you should see that autocomplete dialog.

Cheers Jussi

That fixed it. Thank you for mentioning this solution.

Cheers,
